The #Phillies have the worst type of offense possible. Station to station and if they don't hit a home run they don't score. Just a terribly constructed team.

As great as the show Silo is, the books are even better. People should read more.

Think I'm going to do a Black Company reread. Might post some comments here occasionally as I'm going through each book.

Every time I see something stupid or annoying on TV, I ask my kids "Is that a TikTok thing?" And the answer is nearly always yes.

Part of the benefits of being an early riser is I get that hour or so before everyone else in the house wakes up when I can enjoy my coffee and get some quality reading in.

I've been utilizing this long holiday weekend to finally dive into THE DEVILS by Joe Abercrombie and quite predictably, it's freaking magnificent. I don't want it to end.

If this new book/series is anything like Josiah's previous ones, you should definitely jump on this and preorder now. Dude is one of my favorite fantasy authors and never disappoints! #ShadowOfLegends

My daughter is getting oral surgery on Friday and dealing with our healthcare provider leading up to this has been more stressful than anything. Is it their job to NOT want to pay for stuff? Why is money taken out of my paycheck every week for this bullshit when they decline to cover everything?

The Marlins had lost 12 in a row before this series. Nothing like playing the Phillies to get you right again. The Fish go for the sweep tomorrow.

It's insane that they didn't count that Spain goal. Totally incidental contact. The ref has to be better than that. #WorldCup2026

If I had to pick the best fantasy series of this century, it would without hesitation be THE SHADOW OF THE LEVIATHAN by @robertjbennett.bsky.social. I can't even put into words how brilliant the series is. If you haven't read it yet, I'm jealous that you get to experience it for the first time.

I read this one in record time. Review to come but I’d highly recommend this high octane, whisky fuelled bulldozer of a story. Hard drinking mercenaries, shady corporations and world struggling to rise from the ashes - check out The Worst Survive by Phil Williams @fantasticphil.bsky.social

We dive deep into co-writing, building intricate worlds from history and folklore, messy identities, mythology, magic systems, future projects, and of course the wonderfully chaotic creative process that makes their books feel so alive.

A cynic would say that France, England, Spain, and Argentina all making it to the final four of the World Cup is about as chalk a result as you can get. I'm sure FIFA is elated though.

Nick Borrelli @nickborrelli.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

An under the radar fantasy trilogy that I don't see talked about nearly enough is The Risen Kingdoms by Curtis Craddock. Pre-Victorian era time period, but with floating airships & a truly original magic system. Think a steampunk version of 17th century France. Can't recommend it highly enough!

I've been watching the replay of the disallowed Egypt goal and in no universe was that a foul. A serious investigation should be done on the ref and whoever from FIFA watched that video and made that determination. Just awful. At the least that game should have gone to extra time. #WorldCup2026

No way they were letting Argentina lose this match.
