In a Threads thread about Tolkien, I found this claim... (This guy was one of the outliers!)
I'm no historian, but... Uhm...?
When I called him out, he responded with "What's so complicated about the word 'practically'?..." And claimed he meant non-Whites.
Will he turn to stone in the sunlight?

And then he sacrificed his life to save us all from the Martians at the end. 😭

Any thoughts on the art on this Lightlark 2026 calendar from Simon & Schuster?
Some people thought the vines looked ... off. Also, I'm now wondering about the flowers...

It turns out that I have Ellen Datlow's autograph. 😉 (It's amazing what you can find when you clean before a move.)
I know the story deserved the rejection slip.

Is anyone being asked *why* they want to quit OneDrive when they click "Quit OneDrive"?
Reasons range from "I don't want OneDrive running all the time" to "I don't know what OneDrive is" to "Other." And now, you have to select an option each time. :-|

If you see covers of a fantasy series you're unfamiliar with, avoid accusing the publisher of ripping off the Wheel of Times book covers. Take time to notice that both series are from the same publisher (Tor Books). And both had the same cover artist (Darrell K. Sweet). *sigh*

Whoops! I stumbled into a shop that sells elaborate shakes and floats served in mason jars. How did that happen? 😇
