Looking for more books in the vein of four that have blown me away this year: sweeping emotions with a bit of history. Romantic longing a huge plus; sad English people not required but clearly a recurring theme

If you like superheroes or comics at all, you owe it to yourself to read The Power Fantasy by @kierongillen.bsky.social and @casparw.bsky.social. It’s heady, complex, surprising, fun, and emotional. The characters are unique, the art is expressive and colorful. The best comic going right now.

The cover for The Power Fantasy #12 shows a Black boy playing with a tank, robot, and little green army men on a pastel background.

It might be recency bias and all that, but I really feel like Forever is a Feeling by Lucy Dacus is one of her best albums and a lot of my favorite songs on it are about Julien Baker (Most Wanted Man, Best Guess and Ankles in particular)

Jessica Ritchey @jmritchey.bsky.social · 3d

It's a given in the music industry that "I've fallen in love!" albums are usually regrettable, and "I've gotten a divorce!" ones often have some of the artist's best work. So question for the group, what are the best "I've fallen in love!" albums?

Anthropological documentary AMONG NEIGHBORS traces the history of Jewish life in Poland—all the way back to the Middle Ages—up to the devastation of the Holocaust. The use of animations to represent childhood memories is particularly compelling, writes Sankeerthna Vedamtam.
