Wheel of Time reading update I have spent the last few weeks just powering through Gathering Storm and Towers of Midnight, both of which are Incredible. I fear though that their jump in quality from Books 7-11 will trick me into thinking the road here was worth it but yall, The Slog was *bad*

Jack Black broke up Tenacious D for this

Things are going great for Mike Johnson in the House www.notus.org/congress/tru...

DUDES ROCK

They want to automate what James Patterson pays a fleet of ghost writers to do but somehow worse, which is shocking given how bad those books already are.

I think the coolest aspect of House of Leaves for me is the author fabricating hundreds of academically cited sources that don’t actually exist, some suggesting that extremely hyper-specific aspects of the stories events had entire novels written by about them

I watched BLACK BAG and I can't stop thinking about the little silent electric boat motor on Fassbender's fishing boat.

brandon sanderson series about people who are just kind of okay at magic

Wheel of Time TV show: Look I get that it has a fancy fantasy name and they want tk show it off but Telai'ran'rhiod is a Stupid Mouthful. Just call it the dream world.

Wheel of Time reading update: Rand just ordered an orbital baelfire airstrike on Graendal's palace. Fucking incredible. Dark Rand rules. That's what Graendal gets for sitting out the goddamn narrative for 12 books.

Imagine if an author you like wrote a new book, but in order to actually read the words you had to spend £400 on a special set of glasses, and then you had to keep repeating that every 5-10 years

this sounds like a gag but I sell books for a living and we have sold a FRIGHTENING amount of BLOOD MERIDIAN the last 6 months

Wheel of Time update: There are 2 chapters in The Gathering Storm where Mat stumbles into a fucking Folk Horror movie. It's the 2 coolest Mat chapters I have read thus far.

Wheel of Time reading update: it's so wild to be reading one of these where there is forward plot momentum in almost every chapter. Rand was sulking with Min and I thought we were gonna move on but then NOPE Semirhage tried to cage Rand and got smited for her efforts.

Elon Musk: pours tens of millions into a race that has never seen even a fraction of that much money. bribes multiple voters with $1 million checks to vote. offers any Wisconsin voter who proves they voted $50. wears a fucking cheesehead Wisconsin: votes against his candidate by historic margins

Booker (drained, teary eyed): and with that I yield the floor (15 minute long raucous standing ovation) Next order of business the confirmation of Kevin Sorbo to head the department of Housing. And it’s unanimous (gavel bang)

Every once in a while I think about Matt Groening's 1996 "wisdom of the ages" cartoon that summed up the Dem approach

thank god the director of RED ONE was available how would we have survived otherwise

Its been like 7 books since this happened but I still cannot believe that Robert Jordan ended Fires of Heaven by having Asmodeon walk into a room, get stabbed, and no one investigated it and we don't learn who did it

its so fucking funny that in the books there is a 3 book long subplot about Rand ignoring the living shit out of a Seafolk ambassador that came to see the Dragon Reborn

Wheel of Time reading update: I have started The Gathering Storm and I am beyond delighted that we don't even get out of the Prologue before Faile has Masema executed. Goodbye forever Masema, you horse's ass. I hate you for diverting Perrin to deal with you for SIX BOOKS

I think about AWAKE and JOURNEYMAN on a regular basis

Neither of these men wrote a word of this book, if you can call what James Patterson produces "books"

Wheel of Time S03E05: Shohreh Agdashaloo is a radical, incredible answer to the question "What if Elaida didn't fucking suck?"
