Pop music aficionado, lazy gamer, and inconsistent reader. Used to have a podcast called Hits Don't Lie with my best friend, so I'm full of hot takes about music.

In the music world it feels like the word "interview" has lost all meaning. If you're just trying to have a cool hang with an artist to prove how cool you are and how you have cool friends, that's not an interview. Anyway, Zane Lowe needs to find a new word.

When one of your favorite authors talks up a book, you read it. I'm glad I did. This feels like a book that is so perfectly timed for this moment. I loved the 2 main characters, seeing the complications of an adult friendship, and the overall mystery with a horror tone. Strong rec. 💙📚

They're clearly grasping at straws for something to campaign on during the midterms. They've tried nothing, so they're reaching back to the ol' reliable 'meDiCiNE bAD' tropes in hopes their base will work themselves into a panic like before.

I know this isn't a brave or fresh take, but my god the tv show 'Evil' has to be one of the most consistent and entertaining shows around. It knew what story it wanted to tell, and it told it without going on forever. In a world of lingering zombie franchises, strive to be Evil. 😈

Honestly, at this point "centrist" Democrats in the establishment should just stfu. It's embarrassing. Jeffries is embarrassing. Carville is beyond embarrassing. Get behind people who understand we're in a crisis and actually get shit done.

Okay but this cursed album cover is just a picture of Slayyyter with a puppet.
Old album cover of "Amen!" by Erick and Beverly Massegee. The cover is an image of a blonde woman with her eyes closed and head tilted toward a ventriloquist dummy (who we can assume is Erick). It's giving creepy vibes, but also the woman looks so much like the musical artist Slayyyter.

We need an internet archeologist to study the effect of AI on the classic Minions memes. Are they left in the dust? Are they now being AI generated? Are there communities of Minions Moms keeping the art alive?

I know it's not the point right now, but... Why the hell are we still using polygraph? They've been proven to provide false positives, and the research doesn't even give us a good error rate. The "research" showing that they "work" is low quality and not peer reviewed. Anyway, this guy sucks.

One of the things I hate the most is seeing Senators and Representatives post online articles and quotes admonishing political actions WITHOUT mentioning what they are doing to fix it or hold anyone accountable. Use your platform to display and organize action. You are not a news blogger.

Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.
A set of screenshots from DEEP SPACE NINE. An old Klingon throws his arms around Dax and shouts "Curzon, my beloved old friend!" 

Dax returns the hug and says "I'm Jadzia now."

The Klingon grabs her shoulders, smiles, and says "Jadzia, my beloved old friend!"

It's crazy how people are constantly trying to make up reasons to be mad at Chappell Roan. Latest is that a child which Chappell doesn't even remember seeing cried after a security guard not associated with Chappell told the kid to stop walking around a public breakfast dining area. For real?🙃

So what happened to all the bronies? One minute they were ruling the world (aka tumblr), and now I never see anything about them. Did they die out? Are they an endangered species? Has natural selection led to an evolution into a new class of being? I need answers.

I just saw an internship position requiring a MASTER'S DEGREE! The job market is done for. Most of them read like scams or have ridiculous requirements for terrible pay. Pro tip to employers: "Entry level" should not require 2+ years of experience.

So happy with my new Kobo Libra Color! It feels like a breath of fresh air after using a super old Kindle for ages. Also how cool is this tweed case I found on Etsy?! It adds to the weight, but the straps and stand on the side make it so comfortable. #booksky Anyone else made the switch to Kobo?

Dear #booksky 💙📚, I NEED YOUR HELP! I'm trying to find more book-focused you tube creators of varying tastes. I feel like so many that I find focus heavily on romance and what's trending on TikTok, but I'm having a hard time finding channels that focus on other things. Got any recommendations?!

Already got my 2026 reading goal set over on @hardcover.app! I'm really trying to make grabbing a book or my ereader a stronger daily habit, so I thought I'd push myself a little bit further from what I achieved in 2025. Here's to a new year filled with great stories! 🥂📚💙
Screenshot of the website hardcover.app. The screenshot has a heading which reads "Reading Goals" and displays 2 goals. The first goal is "2025 Reading Goal" which is completed with 8 books read out of goal of 6. The second goal reads "2026 Reading Goal" that has no progress.

Someone needs to make a job board that somehow only lists jobs posted by real companies with real hiring teams where real people review your application and real people interview you. Not like the AI hellscape that the current places such as LinkedIn and Indeed have become.
