One of my all-time favourite books. I'm in the middle of a reread now for LGBTQ+ History Month in the UK, and it's absolute magic.
Not enough of you have read Kid Wolf and Kraken Boy by @sentencebender.bsky.social
Gay Jewish love story, tattoo magic, (historical!) Jewish lesbian mobster, 1920s New York City, boxing…and really one of the best examples of novella writing I can think of (suiting story to word count).
GO READ!

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Annoying now, given *him*, but Coraline was breathtaking in 3D. The visual, tactile depth it gave to things like the cloth tunnel felt really magical.
Which films were actually great in 3D?
I loved Gravity. And the first Spiderverse film was terrific. Both of which were films about falling.

And the movie industry has now had THREE goes at trying to make 3D a thing, and each time the novelty wears off.

![Abuse allegation
In September 2016, the FBI and the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services investigated Pitt for child abuse following an incident on a plane, where Pitt was accused by an anonymous person of being "verbally abusive" and "physical" towards one of his children.[252] Pitt was not criminally charged for the incident by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, or by the FBI.[253]
In 2022, Jolie filed a countersuit against Pitt during a legal battle over their formerly co-owned vineyard. Jolie's lawyers stated that during negotiations, Pitt had asked Jolie to sign "a nondisclosure agreement prohibiting her from speaking outside of court about his abuse of her and their children."[223] Her complaint stated that he grabbed and shook her during the plane ride, strangled one of their children, and struck another in the face, among other allegations.[223]
On the release of Pitt's 2025 film F1, to much praise from most sources, Angelica Jade Bastién wrote an article published in Vulture criticizing his "rehabilitation", saying, "It isn't that people don't believe what happened to Jolie on that plane—they just don't care."[254]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hz4jzmli3n7isthc5zxexuee/bafkreibsfgjiqnejawlgr62nrhzvicdgssfx4ncbd5cjkwjmoit47tzrwy@jpeg)

This is a long shot but we’re desperate. One of the puppies is desperately sick and this might be the the only thing that can help. Is anyone who follows me within a few hours of West Norfolk and able to help? All local vets are out of this medication. Info below. It’s likely his last chance

People know there's more to being a puppeteer than just doing a dead-on Jim Henson impersonation, right? For one, you have to carry an entire franchise (and storytelling medium) on your ability to make quips about eating flies and fearing Miss Piggy. You are the face of classic puppetry globally.
