So far this year I have read 46 books, 9 short fiction publications, and 4 individual short stories. And I'm on track to finish at least one more book before the year ends
This technically exceeds my previous single-year record
Still not beating the reading-through-it allegations

I love Tidal, but they really need to do something about separating artists with the same name to different pages. I am most certain that the alternative metal band Bleed has not released 14 albums and 105 EPs and singles

I don't follow sports, but I'm hearing at work that game 3 went to 18 innings. You don't need to care about baseball to understand that the next couple games are going to be *interesting*

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

As a native of Ohio and resident of two areas of PA. Some thoughts:
1. YES. THANK YOU. PITTSBURGH IS APPALACHIA
2. I need to see a more detailed map of where 55, 56, and 58 come together because that is a wildly transitional area and I need to know where they draw the lines

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

If they ever make the Hellboy story The Corpse into a movie, the song over the end credits should be Dead Man's Party based entirely on the line "walking with a dead man over my shoulder"

The Pope blessed some water? Can you even imagine?

I had a weird dream a few nights ago and I've been trying to turn it into a story ever since because wrestling a surreal, 10 second fragment from my subconscious into a coherent plot is proving to be an effective distraction from the horrors
