The Venom movies are fun trash imo. Knowing b-movies. But ymmv. The third one is a romantic comedy.

Checkmate atheists.

Excited for all of these to flop.

He Odin have said it.

This is the first time I've seen the carousel and what a way!!

If I were making an AI commercial (I would never) I'd probably make it do something super cool you can't do without it (even if you really can't) but that's just me.

Yeah but that chain has the easiest job in the world.

I like the CSV but have always thought NLT hate was kind of silly. It's pretty good!

The Message is nice to look at specific passages sometimes but for me it's just... too much as a regular reader.

There's an early manuscript of Ovid's where he wrote a few lines about how he'd always thought Hercules sucked.

It was a myth take.

I've had this happen and can't remember what I did to fix it. Which isn't helpful, sorry.

I doubt my grandma saw the actual clip at the time but when she talked about Elvis and the Beatles it was pretty obvious something special happened.

I'm a mid handyman these days, thanks to a lot of trial and error, but it feels good. Even if the process is stressful.

My friend was just having trouble remembering Handmaids Tale and called it Red Housewives

We did the overnight stay for our youngest's birthday a couple years ago and I can highly recommend that. Imagine getting to see the entire aquarium including all the employee only areas when there are about 10 other people there.

Dressing as him for Halloween + saying a small prayer to him every night.

That's incredible.

I think your scared it.

Trans woman at the Atlanta Aquarium complimented my Mountain Goats shirt ("Are you a fan?" "Obligatory yes") and it was a great experience.

the Death of Discworld may be my very favorite character in all of fiction

I do not believe there is anything for us after we die, but if there is, he is the anthropomorphic personification I want to take me there

I love Discworld Death. I do believe there's something after but still yet I find him such a comfort.

Me too. I'm psyched.

Live your life in such a way that Larissa Volokhonsky sends for the cops to remove your manuscript from her apartment.

Vladimir Sorokin's “Telluria”: A Linguistic Battle Royale for the New Middle Ages - Words Without Borders “To love Sorokin the reader must submit entirely, without recourse or handhold,” writes critic Allison Bulger.

A snippet from a review in Words Without Borders: Of all the jobs esteemed translator Larissa Volokhonsky has rejected, only one text was physically removed from her apartment on the Villa Poirier in Paris. “Take it back,” she said. “Rid me of its presence.” The cursed title was Blue Lard (1999) by Vladimir Sorokin, known to some as Russia’s De Sade, and Volokhonsky’s revulsion was par for the course. It would be twenty years before another translator, Max Lawton, would provide eight Sorokin works unseen in the West, including Blue Lard, in which a clone of Khrushchev sodomizes a clone of Stalin.

Finished Telluria by Vladimir Sorokin (very good) and while looking for reviews found this incredible anecdote:

Elementary, my queer Watson.

Sherlock Bones.

I have faith you can find gay Sherlock

Yeah, I think I can hold the idea that everyone is trying in their own way and also that a lot of people's way of trying is dangerous and harmful to others so I can't assume the best.

I liked it sometimes, but I got frustrated. But retrospectively it was very sweet.
