Why did no one warn me that the season 2 finale of #ShrinkingAppleTV was going to make me cry?

It’s not just the meat department that has beef 😂
Ok ok I’ll see myself out 😂
Wow this is beautiful. Insta-follow from me. Would love to buy a piece like this
any billionaire buying Wikipedia would be a tragedy, "on the good side" or not. we need to stop divvying up all the important institutions along billionaires and then relying on their good graces — look how it's gone so far.
I’m just on this Earth to be a heating pad and leg rest for these ungrateful cats.
I’ve finally gotten around to playing #MarvelRivals and am really enjoying it so far. Lemme know if you are playing and want to team up. I’m a rare person who will main support.
The reason Silicon Valley is so powerful and annoying is because Oakland lost their sports teams. Without raider fans acting as an apex predator the nerds became too abundant

It’s staggering how bad Williams’s internal clock is. You could see it all game - just a second too long to move in the pocket or snap the ball. Running a 2 minute drill shouldn’t be hard at this point in the season for a starting QB. I also blame Eberflus for not calling TO when he got sacked.
What an absolutely brutal last 30 seconds in the Bears/Lions game. Caleb Williams simply cannot make that kind of mental error. Though I also blame the coach for not taking a time out the minute he was sacked. #NFL #CHIvDET
Definitely avoiding that trope. I thought I was clever establishing she had short hair by having her reflect on how in her line of business (sanitation and maintenance on a space station) it was a hazard. Then gave a quick description of why Hipster Bobby w/the ponytail found that out the hard way 🤣
Yes. Also worth noting that this was only the first chapter getting critiqued. Obviously as the story went on I planned to layer in more details. It was also first person narrative so a lot of the character's personality was pretty established by that tone.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
I did a writing seminar recently and got feedback that I didn’t describe my character early enough. The instructor said “The only thing I know about her is that she’s tall, she has a wife and her life is crappy.” And I was like, isn’t that all you need? Why does it matter what color her hair is?
We definitely do
I finally got around to watching #TheDecameron on Netflix. At first i wasn’t sure about it but by the end I kinda loved it. It’s dark humor, but there are some sweet moments as well. I ended up loving several of the characters. Karan Gill’s Panfilo was a real standout for me. Definitely recommend.
Another week, another gutsy Baker Mayfield play 💪🏼
This is the one I find popping into my head at the most random moments. There's just something about it.
I’ve been traveling a lot lately so having a game I can jam on for an 11 hour flight has re-ignited my passion for certain games
Fellow Steam Deck owners - what games are you playing right now? I’ve become obsessed with The Long Dark, which really triggers my OCD around detailed travel planning and packing.
Gorgeous! Would love to buy a print of this if you have a site

A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: "I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two -- And see what worms are eating At the rind."
I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

Heretic was outstanding. Well written, good pacing, and great performances. You’ll hear a lot about Hugh Grant’s performance (deserved) but I thought Sophie Thatcher was great as well.
I just watched #Challengers. It was sexy in a very frustrating way. The whole time I was also thinking “boy, this soundtrack slaps” and then at the end credits realized why. Lol.
