Bought a Kindle late last year to kickstart my non-work reading again and was rewarded by picking a book (Wake Up and Open Your Eyes) that was became mostly a hate read by the end. Looking for a better horror book recommendation please 🙏

Now is the time to get on board the Shelved by Genre train! We've got a few of these recorded already and let me tell you, they're good as hell
With a knock on your door, a kindly wizard invites you to join us on Shelved By Genre's LORD OF THE YEAR, in which we will consider the popular but contested works of JRR Tolkien, kicking things off with a long rumination upon the first four chapters of THE HOBBIT: rangedtouch.com/2026/01/02/t...

If this year was about getting off US tech, 2026 is the year to reassess the digital revolution — what works, what doesn’t; what to keep, and what to reject.
I’ve only just started to consider what needs to change about how I use digital technology, but I’m excited to learn more next year.

"What if The Lord of the Rings but without any of the passion or even an attempt to replicate the tone of the source material?" At least Ian Mckellen adds a sense of both grandeur and whimsy, though that does little for the overall experience.

My wife made some caraway seed scones with raspberry lavender jam and clotted cream. We're going to begin our annual rewatch of the LOTR movies, but this year we're watching The Hobbit movies first because we hate life and ourselves. I'm gonna post through it.

Does anyone else bristle at this framing? WSJ says blue books are “torturing” students with hand cramps, and “nobody likes them.”
Listen, students have been outsourcing everything to AI and cheating their way through college. Blue books should be celebrated as a return to authentic human learning.
