But that’s also the fun of Discworld: they’re far from a coherent narrative and more a 41 book sprawling, multi decade active conversation between Pratchett, his work, and the reader

I would love to be part of a Pratchett Book Club just to talk about relationships with different books. I love Night Watch to see Vimes wrestle with his own present and past, but I have a fundamental disagreement with the text that, ultimately, the events the Revolution are interchangeable

As a 10-12 YO, I loved nearly every one of these Marvel launches of the 90s (except, maybe, Terror Inc, through no fault of the book itself) and even then I knew they were woefully behind the times, visually and narratively. Amazing concepts, but the execution just felt off.

Finally!! New York Times article on the Neil Gaiman sexual assault allegations. With a new interview (at the end) with one of the women who spoke to Tortoise media, Claire. This is a link which somebody had paid for so hoping it works for all. www.nytimes.com/2024/09/26/b...

Production Linked to Neil Gaiman Is Halted Amid Sexual Assault Claims

The British author of dozens of literary works has denied the allegations that five women made against him on a podcast series.

It’s weird (to say the least!) that the former Republican president and current candidate for that same office who instigated an insurrection is proposing The Purge and The Media doesn’t think it’s worth talking about because “it’s priced in with his voters”

The press doesn't pick this stuff up because the assumption is it won't happen to them, it seems outlandish, far-fetched. Until it isn't. Those of us in marginalized communities know what threats of violence bring. Violence. This man and his ilk frighten me to the core.

Can we talk about these carpetbagging trauma tourists fucking all the way off

Just big time suck with this storm

Water situation in Asheville dire
