I got snipped at the last time I went off on Trope Derangement Syndrome…but every time I see one of those graphics I get incredibly sad for my profession. Art is more than the sum of its TV Tropes tags! Our work is not “content!!” Let us not go gentle into that extremely online night!!!
I get why authors are compelled to do it, but few things make me want to read a book/story less than those tropelist pointing to the book marketing banners. I really wish they'd go away, but I guess they Do work as a marketing tactic on more people than they're off-putting to.

Shrike, Tuunbaq, even Demogorgon from the largely forgettable Olympos/Iliom. Dan Simmons might be a nasty-minded bigot but when it comes to Big Monsters, that creep can roll
What's your favourite monster/creature from literature? I'm thinking Tuunbaq from Dan Simmon's The Terror, the triffids from Wyndham's Day of the Triffids, the demon from M.R. James' Casting The Runes, Grendel, Pennywise, etc.

aesthetically horrible yes, but fascinating on an anthropological and cultural level - to an American, there is nothing more worthy of contemptuous dismissal than a burger that turns out to be nothing
‘Nothingburger’ is probably the most repulsive American contribution to the English language

To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.

there are so many pop songs I mainly experienced via my wife getting them stuck in their head for 3 weeks. like I just heard “it’s me, hi, I’m the problem” in the cafeteria at work and I’m like “oh shit that’s what that sounds like when it’s not sung a cappella with a cat in front of your face”

Per several reports in Israeli media the former IDF AG is hospitalized following an attempted suicide earlier today. Very few details, but she's apparently conscious and in stable condition.
Allow me to summarize:
1. 5 IDF soldiers caught sexually molesting a Palestinian prisoner.
2. IDF files charges.
3. IDF AG faces enormous pressure from government to drop charges. Mob storms base where it happened.
4. IDF AG leaks video documenting the molestation.
5. IDF AG pushed out (continued)

![You played in a band before you got the job you have now. Did you have stage moves?
-I mean, it was a ska band, so there's some set stuff. You gotta do some skanking.
"Pick it up..."
-Yeah. Pick it up, pick it up. I think there are quite a few videos of me online, skankin' around onstage.
But you didn't have to come up with the moves. That's the advantage of ska.
-It's a preexisting architecture.
Do you feel like you've carried that with you in some way?
-My skanking? [Laughs.] Always. Always.
