Again finding myself jealous of people who can read quickly, because Alchemised won Goodreads Fantasy book of the year, and it sounds interesting, but being over 1,000 pages means it would take me months to read it.

Incredibly hard to vocalize how astonishing it is that WWE managed to fumble both this AND Cena's retirement tour.
1 year ago today, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods turned their backs on Big E on New Day's 10th anniversary.

In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.

He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Trans day of remembrance, thinking of all those lost and what we can do to help protect those who are here.

Aside from the bigger stuff, call shit out. Normalize being hostile to transphobic "jokes" and comments.

When I saw the trailer for the Clown in a Cornfield movie earlier this year I couldn't believe it was real. I was even MORE surprised to learn that it was based on a book! I enjoyed these more than I thought it would. Fun, YA slashers.
