If he was in my house I would unfortunately ask him if I was breaking edge any time I did anything ever until he exploded

It’s a snowy Thursday afternoon. The year is almost over.

Unfortunately, once it becomes 2026, it will be illegal to discuss these two books under threat of punitive violence.

That’s why it’s so important to write reviews, buy copies & tell booksellers, librarians & influencers about them today

LOLOL sounds fun!! Godspeed!

also... me in any From Software game I already have 100+ hours in

ok, since nobody else will, I'll go ahead and say it-- The Santa Clause 2 counts as a Christmas movie

so much bounty here, but my personal favorites are The Long Form, Some of Them Will Carry Me, and The Complete Stories of Leonora Carrington !!

Feeling the urge to stream video games soon if anyone wants to come hang out and talk about books, writing, video games, music, movies, art and/or weed. Maybe tomorrow night?

The time is, and always has been, now, my friend

does anyone know if we have to today

I'm sure! In fact, I'm glad about it.

Tom Waits?

Just thinking about the @sethwade.bsky.social piece we are featuring in @hexliterary.bsky.social this week again 🧿

I don't make the rules, and I don't think, just because Steve is choosing a random grandmother in Minnesota, the rules should be altered. If that's who he picked, that's who he picked, and she should feel thankful for the opportunity afforded.

Wow - I will say that I didn't realize it's been that long since Phife passed holy shit

Oh that's an ominous thought

Dad Rap feels like a later offshoot. Does Dad Rap stem from Run DMC x Aerosmith? From Beastie Boys? Something else entirely?

MJ L DEF fitting a lot of the DR expectations. The sound at the core feels right. What's more difficult is identifying what that essence is! Is it riffage? Guitar solos?

Much to consider, Tyler... And to be sure, some of the more obvious stuff TODAY was less obvious then

See: Smokin' in the Boys Room, Cocaine, Summer of 69.

While I don't think being family friendly necessarily excludes music from being true DR, I'm not sure it's a requirement either

Second, I'm a dad of a certain age! Does that mean everything I listen to is dad rock? I would argue that no, Converge is not dad rock, despite me being a dad and Converge rocking.

Third, I'm currently on the fence about the requirement for Dad rock to be suitable for kids to listen to (cont)

You certainly lobby what appear to be good points, Michael, however several feel like fallacies to me:

First, dad rock isn't (and, I'd argue, never was) about BEING a dad. The "dad" in Dad Rock refers to the listener.

I'm tempted, too, by a theory around region. Dad rock emerging from the rust belt
