Yes! Of the Magic Library! And it looks like most of my memories that I thought were of book mice were actually of the Magic Library, given when the shows were actually aired.

It wasn't bookmice, it was The Magic Library, which bookmice was a spin-off of. The episode must have been Goblin Mischief.

There was an episode of book mice on TVO where the mice read a book about fairy circles and goblins, and I remember that night trying to go to sleep unsuccessfully,while the white doorknobs on my closet doors glowed at me like eyes from across the bedroom. They'd never looked like eyes before.

The Instagram account the redditor took this from is filled with ai slop videos and is selling a crypto coin. Is it worth pointing out this kind of thing when I see people I appreciate posting it, or is it better to let people have their fun?

A third thing that could be true, we don't know yet: there's a scene in the movie where creating the trailer is a part of it, and there's some elaborate shenanigans where the copy editor is an actor who doesn't know how to copy-edit.

Daniel Abraham (who is one half of the writers who wrote the Expanse novels) wrote The Dagger and the Coin series. Bk 1 is The Dragons Path. It's fun. It's more economics focused than fantasy often is, but still adventure-y.

Absolutely this. And while you're in the neighbourhood, pop over to the Merril Collection (rare science fiction/fantasy reading room) on the third floor of the Lillian H Smith public library branch.

I am so excited to read this. I love this sandwich. I love getting it at the Carousel in St. Lawrence. I love that there are some of the same people there who were giving me the same sandwich 25 years ago. I love that it's walking distance from where I work and I can have it for lunch frequently.

Every time you check out a library book instead of ordering from Amazon, ask a friend instead of an LLM, cook a meal instead of ordering from an app, or go for a walk instead of scrolling social media, you interrupt the cash flows of insane CEOs. Do it! Ruin their day!

Robert Sawyer wrote an AU novel about Oppenheimer that has this argument as part of it. He has an article on his website for further reading on it: www.sfwriter.com/suoa.htm

Children of Men was my favourite movie for a good chunk of my young adulthood. If it isn't anymore it's only because I haven't watched it in a while and it didn't imprint on me as a child like Jurassic Park did. I'd very much appreciate a fragments write-up of it if you felt inspired.

It wasn't completely empty, but wasn't full enough to counteract the bouncing sound. At the same time, I was willing to cope with the sound for the comfort of an emptier than most theatre at that time.

honestly, a middle-brow (complimentary) director doing a big splashy Classics adaptation that’s sold out for a month at the IMAX and there’s an ongoing debate about it with one of its en vogue translators is probably the healthiest the culture has been in a long time

Gonna watch it sooner than I would have otherwise so that I won't be tempted to read it before watching it, which helped odyssey more than hurt it I think, but odyssey and Spider-Man are different things.
