Congrats Hugo finalists!!!!!!

I forgot about this and the reminder I got was someone talking about R*wl*ngs tweet - this would've been a far more welcome post

You know, Vancouver isn't really so different, geographically... and I could get my citizenship actually sorted out beforehand, meaning it'd be an easier process. But I've never been cool enough for Canada.

No hope that Dems will save us but angry gamers have a shot

A secret little dream of mine was always to work in a shitty second-hand bookshop in a small rainy town in North-Western America with all those massive forests and lakes and mountains... Anyways I'm glad I've always been too broke to do it now. Don't have to learn freedom measurements after all.

Defence Ministry: Shoreline defence force Gentoo’s prepare mortars. Our Navy Seals conduct clandestine training, and teach tactical camouflage and concealment to juveniles. We stand ready. Flippers Up.

Man, I really need to find my Tariffs Not Only Impose Immense Economic Costs but Also Fail to Achieve Their Primary Policy Aims and Foster Political Dysfunction Along the Way t-shirt.

dude I fully cherish thee

sunk-cost fallacy (n.) -- "the phenomenon whereby a person is reluctant to abandon a strategy or course of action because they have invested heavily in it, even when it is clear that abandonment would be more beneficial"

These are the same people that were willing to let their grandparents die so they could eat at Arby's again without a mask

BREAKING: The stock market is in free fall this morning, the global markets slumped, Senate Republicans joined Democrats to rebuke Trump's tariffs, and recession fears are rising fast. It's morning in America. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Nazi tears give me energy - cry harder

How it started vs. How it's going

Tomorrow, I'm seeing Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds. Words cannot express how excited I am and how obsessed I am with the whole musical. My parents raised me right. I don't want to talk about why I'm taking comfort in fictional world-ending conflicts with simple resolutions at the current time.

Remember, they're only war plans if they come from the war region of France. Otherwise they're just sparkling attack plans targeting civilian apartment buildings.

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

If apartheid was wrong in South Africa, it is wrong in Israel. If ethnic cleansing was wrong in Bosnia, it is wrong in Palestine. If genocide was wrong in Rwanda, it is wrong in Gaza. There is no principled way to support human rights in one context while excusing their violation in another.

Trump: "Ireland doesn't have a housing crisis. Ireland is doing so well they can't produce houses fast enough. That's a good problem, not a bad problem." Martin (laughing): "That's a great answer!" Ha ha ha *cries in my parents house where I’ll be living until I’m 65

Also important to note that I scored two tries in that game of No-Contact, Waist-Grab Tackle, Touch Rugby. Move over Ilona Maher

Absolutely wild to me that my first game of Non-Contact, Waist-Grab Tackle, Touch Rugby in months has left me with more bruises than the newer sport I've taken up where you get jabbed with metal sticks constantly.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a “miniaturist” when I grew up. I thought it was a job. My mother told me that it wasn’t, that it was more of a hobby. BUT LO AND BEHOLD

James Lowe is such an icon #IREENG #6nations #COYBIG

Today a customer told me I was good at my job and she probably made my week. Bookselling at this time of the year sometimes sucks, with people looking for out of print titles or recommendations for people they give me almost no info about, but I got this one first try and it was very validating.

Love the STEM kids having their day in the sun! Zara is a star! #latelatetoyshow

Dumb f@#k Trump posts an image of him staring out towards the Matterhorn, located in the Alps between Italy and Switzerland, with a Canadian flag beside him, and he types "Oh Canada". The depths of this man's stupidity know no bounds... #Speirgorm

on a sentimental kick this morning open.spotify.com/track/1zShh2...

I've not had a chance to listen yet but I promised my Irish friends that I would pass it along. Katie Hannon and her producer, Elayne have been incredibly gracious throughout this. #speirgorm podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/b...

Hurrah! Here's to another 4 years of working full-time while living in my childhood bedroom! #ge24

A mistaken identity and suddenly he’s adopted. 😍

And your indie bookstore can usually order that backlist for you! While we can only carry so many books in the store (pesky shelf space limitations) we can order titles for you at no extra cost and it usually takes 2-4 business days. Read backlists!

IQ is a great indicator of intelligence, in that the second you see someone obsessing over it online, you can usually conclude they’re dumb as rocks. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

It's National Popcorn Day! Popcorn makes an appearance in Moving Pictures. Do you remember what it's called in the book and who invented it? #Discworld #DiscworldConvention #TerryPratchett #MovingPictures #NationalPopcornDay

If it wasn't Christmas, half the town would be wandering around with a copy of Prophet Song lodged where the sun doesn't shine, ho-ly.

The irony of every panic that TikTok is turning the kids into transsexuals/CCP agents/terrorists is that everything we know about who is susceptible to misinformation and propaganda online suggests the kids are not, in fact, the problem

the world's most embarrassing cult

Went for a jog 2 days ago to compensate for training being called off and my shins are STILL in agony. How is running on pavement actually more painful than rugby? It did give me a chance to use the ventolin though, and I'm not as unfit as I thought. Turns out I just can't breathe 🤷‍♂️

Happy Circulatory System Wandering Through the Kitchen Day to all who celebrate!
