Finally watching the expanse show after reading the book.

I really dislike show Naomi and miss book Naomi.

Why can you almost guess if a character whose name starts with the letter N you know they will be evil?

Looking at you Nathair

Am I the only one that struggles, not looking things up? I have to fight the urge every book, every time to not look up the background around every new character.

I want to know everything right now!

The more I read it the more I am just bored/annoyed by the Aes Sedai chapters in Wheel of Time, at least going into book 5.

Not the people themselves but the white tower chapters, my eyes just glaze over.

Why does French Roast coffee always taste so bad?

I love dark and bitter coffee, but every single time I am surprised by how much I dislike that particular roasting style.

You know it's going to be a good chapter when it's the same title as the book!

What do people think of Robin Hobb? Good? Bad?

I am a general fantasy/sci-fi reader and while I see her covers pop up on these “most influential” covers, I have not seen any strong recommendations thus far.

I am always looking to add to my TBR

Well, finally finished Empire of Silence

Way better book and took me way longer (in a good way) than expected. What a fantastic Sci-fi book.

Now have to decide if I want to start the next one yet tonight or take a night off.

I am probably the most boring person ever, a whole week off of work and 90% of it spent reading.

I normally read books, but sometimes I am in the mood to listen to one.

Anyone else save their audible credits for higher page count books because it feels like you are getting better value for your money?

I am looking for a BluRay player, and it's surprisingly obtuse to differentiate between features.

It's been years, and I am looking for a strait forward 4k player, ideally with the best audio/upscaling features out there, but I do not care at all about streaming features.

Any recommendation?

Is it wrong that I just washed by blood pressure medications down with coffee?

Finally watching the Witcher

I can't believe they replaced Cavill he WAS the Witcher.

I did not post about it too much and was focused on reading but after 2 days of reading finally finished The Eye of the world. While I think there are things to improved but a solid start to the series.

Well, just started wheel of time.

Wish me luck

Regardless of the specific ban, I wonder if TikTok will survive their own supreme court argument.
January 11, 2025 at 8:38 PM
TicTok arguing that their algorithm is editorial discretion is WILD.

Google and facebook have to be SCREAMING at their computers right now.

The responses to this is exactly why the left struggles.

I hope we can get over this so we can get back to actually making positive change.
A lot of people will criticize @johnfetterman.com for visiting trump. Don't. Imo, the best way to win voters is to do all you can to represent your constituents first. Your party last. Voters want results. If he can use Trump to get that. Amen.

Why is ACOTR so bad but everyone loves it? There is nothing wrong with liking bad books but the hype is just so off.

Red Rising is an amazing dystopian scifi
So excited to keep going

I don't know how people don't cringe more at the "Spicy" parts of romantacy books.

I just don't understand

Perhaps it's just me with a strong secondhand embarrassment response.

I forgot how much I loved Red Dead Redemption 2

So fantastic

Adobe

Your own periodic popup to make Adobe my default PDF viewer made me uninstall your product.

I hope whoever thought that was a good idea gets fired.

Why are the British so against warming tea water in the microwave?

I mean, I have a kettle, but as long as you are only heating the water, I'm not sure why it matters if you get it to the right temp.
