I have said it a few times, this book will soon (amd should) be taught in literature classes.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

this isn't the point but it is funny and kind of a broader point that the focus of the subhead is "architects" and then they replaced what was, in the original photo, labourers.
I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

I’ve read quite a few @sgj.bsky.social joints at this point and I’ve loved them all, but this one feels like something extra special, like it’s one of the great novels that will still be talked about in 50 or 100 years. Maybe his masterpiece? 5/5 highly recommend

I have to admit I don't like driving and could care less about cars and trucks but @sgj.bsky.social surprised me with the action packed thrill ride that is Killer On The Road. He managed to create another awesome final girl and one scary protagonist.

This fascinating. The Sojourn is a great audio drama and its so cool to see where they pulled from other great scifi series.

I'm actually looking to pick up some more closed captioning/subtitle editing work to get me safely to the end of the month. If you are a content creator or work in other media, please leave a reply here if I can help you with this work, and I'll start DMs with you to talk about it some more!
I also use Carrd to host my subtitle editing and closed captioning portfolio. It's proven very useful.

in honor of his heroic choice to help Cuomo go down in flames i vote we continue to allow Sliwa to wear his very funny beret
Curtis Sliwa claims to have been offered $10 million, across seven bribes, to drop out of the mayoral race. Last month, he said he’d leave the ballot if “a Mack truck hits me, and I get turned into a speed bump, and they can’t recover me in the I.C.U.”
Inside Curtis Sliwa’s Never-Ending Campaign
The Republican candidate for New York City mayor has been aggressively ramping up his campaign, even if it’s to the benefit of Zohran Mamdani.

Finished The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social last week, and this will def be one of my top books of the year! Great complex characters, lots of heart wrenching moments, and plenty of gore. There was also a bit of humor, especially at the end (the ending was perfection). Grab it, babes!
