Regardless of the bullshit he and his cult spout, has he ever displayed actual "energy and strength"? His tubby ass is driven everywhere. He only waddles up and down those Air Force One steps because you can't drive a golf cart on stairs.

“Although I’d been told I was just in remission, I really thought I was cured after they did that godawful adaptation of Death on the Nile where they gave Poirot’s moustache its own backstory. I didn’t even want to re-read the book to point out all the ways they’d ruined it.”

I hope some of us being honest about being an author/artist etc helps other folks feel a bit *better* in some regards. If you haven't finished that novel, poetry book, film script, music, whatever--we truly understand! Don't beat yourself up. Just keeping bills paid has gotten harder for all of us.

Stories from my bookseller days: A customer would special order a book. One of the staff members would see it when it came in and special order one for themselves. It would become a staff pick. It would become a store bestseller and eventually end up on one of our tables.

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

My Dad and I have a joke that 90% of Adam Schiff scenes involved him dropping a dry quip to McCoy while putting on his hat and leaving the DA’s office.
okay having finished this episode i can say that there is truly no reason for toby huss to be here, he just walks in wearing the hat, mariska goes "still doing the hat thing huh" and then he walks out

A+
i'm sorry, last week's SVU featured toby huss wearing a fedora????

My phone is doing all the same things from 2015 with only minimal benefits. The only reason we have to upgrade is increased software bloat.

We should actually just have phones that last 15 years now.

I recommend always offering drink options without booze up front. I tend to lead with "we have beer, wine, soda, seltzers ..." and let them tell me what they want without having to decline alcohol in the first place. Also, think ahead about sober friends and try to have some options.
Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

The BEST job I ever had, was working in a bookstore. I would still be working there if I didn't have to worry about things like rent, health insurance, and paying bills.
Always grinds my gears when people say "No one would work drudge jobs if there was a UBI"

But even staying completely capitalist, I disagree. If I received a baseline living-wage UBI, and then I was offered REWARDS for drudge jobs, I'd take it! I want to save up for treats and travel and hobbies!

If you claim your movie is "inspired" by Kind Hearts and Coronets, but you don't seem to bother casting one brilliant actor to play 8 members of the same family, are you even trying?

Are you someone who claims to be a “trans ally”?

Cool! Here’s your new test to see if you actually are a trans ally for real or just for “social media clout.”

Stop playing Fortnite.

Re: That last repost - That goes for everything. Not enjoying a comic? Stop reading it. Not enjoying a show? Stop watching it.

There are no participation trophies in fandoms. You can – and should – walk away from something you are no longer enjoying.

I have a goofy picture and say dumb things on here, but this is serious.

If a book comes out with a character you love, and you don't like the book, don't pick up the next issue. It's that simple.

DO NOT harass a creator for doing their job.
