I’m looking to read a juicy, fast paced, easy to digest murder thriller. Any you’d suggest?

Some of my favorites include Lock Every Door (Sager), Gone Girl (Flynn), The Push (Audrain), Little Secrets (Hiller)

correct, and maybe it’s my media-centric worldview but i often worry this is eventually going to turn out to be the story of pretty much everything

I was denied access to the CBC News Instagram account this week β€” a preview of what's to come as Meta and Google make good on threats to eliminate Canadian news from their platforms. My latest editor's blog: https://www.cbc.ca/news/editorsblog/cbc-online-news-act-1.6897060.

I deleted my IG years ago in an attempt to be more present IRL. I have never missed it and never want to go back.

I liked the bird app, though. Wish I could try 🧡s without the other.

Dirty John comes to mind. I think it feels like a different genre because men who scam have a tendency to get violent :/

Twitter got so toxic I basically stopped using it but now I’m here and it’s like I’ve lost the reflexive muscle to overshare. Anyone else?
