I wish I lived somewhere showing Speed Racer in IMAX tonight.

Devastating. May you have a weekend full of hugs.

It has nothing on the Ikea sad lamp commercial.

Grady made some odd changes himself, like renaming the A&P licensed character Tiara instead of Ginger, for no obvious reason. Maybe there were too may IRL Ginger Flynns.

Text including “A&P” instead of “A&P” twice.

More text including “A&P” instead of “A&P” twice.

Why did JABbereocky Literary Agency use html code instead of typesetting? 4 times on a page!

(This is from Badasstronauts, their uodated release of Grady Hendrix’s perfectly fine self-published Occupy Space.)

It's differently funny. The writing is technically better, though still lousy. It's so constantly wrong about everything and the text expresses something completely different from what is intended at all times, it's quite amusing. They are similar in a, "What the hell are you talking about?" way.

Keep AI out of book spaces (among all others). What purpose does this slop image possibly serve?

"Long, slender fingers" is by far the least of this book's literary crimes.

It's been well-covered before, but even so the @372pages.bsky.social experience of this modern classic is bound to be a hoot. Just the first page of the book is laughable. The next 480 pages also.

Chop Chop Master Onion!

Linus had it right.

Wild.

Panel one: Linus says, “one of the most important things in life is to have a pleasant word for everyone”.” Panel two: Charlie Brown walks by and Linus says, “good morning Charlie Brown on your way to the library? “Charlie Brown responds: “uh-huh”. Third panel is Linus standing alone, quietly. Fourth panel: Linus calls after Charlie Brown, “Well, have a nice Library!”.

Library love from Peanuts in 1960.

Hang on, is that what those stone frames were? I couldn’t find a purpose for them in the US version.

You could keep your whole house in there!

The new book is a modern classic of the genre.

Can’t wait to see the visualization of a variety of 80s dance moves.

Maybe you owe your downstairs neighbor an apology for the noise.

No author worth reading uses AI.

Immediate preorder

And then there’s Krimson Rogue.

Think you need more shelves, i see a lot double-layered. Been there.

Where is this non-yapping world and how do I get there please

We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.

As much as I would like to agree, I’ll take a publisher throwing money at Noobtown over AI slop any day.

How else would you know it's funny?

"Just how my wife likes it," says this 13-year old sigma dweeb.

Andy Weir is going to be interviewed soon on the NYT Book Review podcast. They're taking questions for him at thebookreview@nytimes.com. A good time to ask why he didn't emphasize the Moon's gravity more.

I questioned everything I thought I knew about moon phases until the radio person said, “Eclipse.”
