A cup of English Breakfast tea is steeping as I ponder my future, and whether I keep using Bluesky as intensely as I have done in the last couple of days.

Ohh, more of the The Gulp. I loved the first two books because I have a passing familiarity with rural Australia.
You should try them.
Like ... Night Vale, if it was Aussie.

More deliberate media consumption day two, not letting the algorithm deliver stuff to my eyeballs
I'm reading a bunch of articles that I'd saved in Raindrop.io (and transferred to Instapaper) on my Kobo.

Last night, I took all the extraneous apps off my phone.
This morning, I wore my earplugs instead of earphones. I read a book instead of scrolling social media while listening to podcasts.
By the time I got to school, I finished the book I was reading.

I think it's just called Good Guys. I finished it, and can confirm that it is a Good Book.
Returning to Steven Brust’s The Good Guys. It’s unusual. The story’s told mostly through dialogue.

In my head it’s easier to pay for a content/streaming subscription than to pay for access to software functionality (e.g. I’d rather pay for Netflix than Microsoft Office).
I don’t know why that is.

Unsalted potato chips are my secret indulgence. I’d say they were my kryptonite but that’s not the effect they have on me.

I watched Fantastic Four: First Steps and had a thought and slept on it and it’s still bothering me.
It’s a very WHITE film, isn’t it
The cast is mostly white. Visually, it conjures up a period that white supremacists consider halcyon. The story is very US-centric.
I’m not sure I like it.

I’ve finished Bury Your Gays by @chucktingle.bsky.social
It’s so good. And clever.
The horror (for me) was mostly in the flashbacks that cut way too close to home and that makes the creepy and inexplicable creatures haunting our hapless hero a different kind of frightening.

Dear people who write subtitles,
If, when a character speaks another language, you could actually translate it into the subtitle language, that would be grand.
“[speaks in French]” helps me NOT AT ALL.
