Hey, I'm not sure how else to contact you, so I'm trying this. I have inherited a gremlin's treasure trove of archaic games. I want to find a good home for them, and figured you or someone you know might be a good place? PM me if interested please.

Houston Bookstore Directory! ⭐

Did you know that there are over 30 indie bookshops in the greater Houston area?

Share this directory with your friends, then come see us tomorrow, Small Business Saturday!
A teal graphic reads, "Houston's Independent Bookstores. Swipe for a directory." Beneath the text, there is a photo grid of sixteen images of indie bookstores. A teal graphic with two columns of text, titled "Houston & Galveston Bookstore Directory." The columns list the names of 32 Houston-area independent bookstores and pop-ups, with their addresses or Instagram handles, in alphabetical order.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

One of my favorite Douglas Adams quotes:

“All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others.”

More timely today than ever, don't you think? 💙

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...
Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of Al technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday. The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal. "My official answer is, Al is good because it's the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I'm going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI," he said.

New Lancet meta-analysis finds measles vaccine immunity wanes over time, with seropositivity dropping from ~93% within 10 yrs to ~83% at 16–22 yrs.

The authors say their findings warrant an urgent review of vaccination strategies

Measles Vaccine Protection Wanes After a Decade
Individuals who receive a measles-containing vaccine maintain seropositivity for a decade; however, the vaccine’s protection declines gradually thereafter.

If your admin says "but we need to prepare students for AI-driven careers," you can calmly say no. Reiterate that AI-integration is the result of wild capitalist greed, the technologies themselves aren't "generative" or useful in most careers, and students should focus on process-based learning.

pictures of blonde 70s guy wearing a horizontally striped black-and-white classic "prisoner" shirt, in the first one he's hitting a jay, in the second he's looking at his friend (who's got a hand on his shoulder and is faced away from pov, apparently talking to him earnestly) psycotically next to text reading: This Thanksgiving remember the cranberry sauce, but *forget* the Marijuana. Terry was convinced to take a “toke” of a joint with his friend “just to relax”. Immediately after, Terry killed his friend who had given him the marijuana in a murderous craze. Not so safe, is it? Maryuana. Not Even Once. bottom right: "Ad council" logo, next to small text reading "This ad brought to you by the Ad Council Dept. of Studiohouse Designs.

Happy Thanksgiving
A four-panel meme from the animated show King of the Hill. In the first panel, John Redcorn, an indigenous man, responds “Yes?” while looking at a blond boy Bobby Hill in a classroom. In the second panel, Bobby looks confused and asks, “Are you sure it’s the white man who did all that stuff?” The third panel shows Bobby gesturing toward himself and saying, “Because I come from white people,” and the fourth panel continues with him saying, “and this is the first I’m hearing of it.”

On this day, Indigenous people and allies confront the settler-colonial narratives of “Thanksgiving,” observing it instead as a National Day of Mourning.
