I've heard a lot of people saying that the Nolan Odyssey costuming sucks. As long as they get the right outfit for the slaying of the suitors, I'll be happy.

If the Republican Party was an institution suited to hold power in a religiously and culturally pluralistic democracy, it would not allow (let alone encourage) its rising youth to gleefully Hitler post.
FWIW, they have now deleted that post with no apology or explanation.

I received an offer from TikTok to monetize my content, but I'm not a sell-out. If it was about the money, why would I be an indie author? Nope, this is all for the love of the game. #booksky #writingcommunity #indieauthor

In the greatest treachery yet, my autocorrect "fixed" a properly formatted plural possessive into a singular possessive. I hate this damn thing sometimes.

The popularity of Welcome To Derry is bringing back one of my favorite dumb fan theories, the one about Mary Poppins and Pennywise being the same species. It is hilarious, can you imagine Julie Andrews unhinging her jaw and taking a basketball-sized bit out of the Banks children??
