this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

“It’s a lovely rest from having to think about the time I was 11 and congratulated a family friend on a pregnancy that turned out to be a food baby. Or the day I tried to join in a thing called ‘banter’ and made Ryan Wilkins cry so hard his mum had to come and get him from sixth form.”

Are you looking for a cozy Science Fiction adventure? @janetedwardssf.bsky.social is an excellent author and this seemingly low stakes novella is a great read in a fascinating setting. It's a prequel to the Hive Mind saga that gets more awesome & epic, while keeping good, warm characters at heart.

I knew I would love this book, I knew it would draw me in, I knew it would make me laugh and I knew it would make me think. Sure enough life hit a rough patch and I started reading this. SecUnit watches Media to help him cope with a overload induced shutdown. I read for the same reasons - it helps.

Even better than a season of Sanctuary Moon!

An action-packed page-turning novel that managed to fit in a pretty good mystery, a dose of humour along with some rather serious philosophical pondering on free will and ethics, all without slowing the pace down.

Sept 22 is Hobbit Day, as it’s the shared birthday of Frodo and Bilbo Baggins. If Tolkien’s work has ever brought you courage, peace, or cheer, I encourage you to revisit it.

“May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.”
