I realize I’m just shouting into the wind here, but: please, please, please stop posting screenshots without links, or summarizing breaking news events without links. There’s a serious problem with unsourced assertions all over the world right now, don’t be part of the problem.

I just finished the third book of the Mistborn series.
I've been reading science fiction and fantasy for over forty years. It is my favorite, by far.
I hope someday, someone realizes what a treasure it is, and gives it a chance to become the epic live-action series (not movie) it deserves to be.

The Honor Of Kings episode of Secret Level is another example of turning a simple MOBA into an epic philosophical masterpiece

I want to watch TV coverage of the live fall of the Syrian regime.
CNN is airing a Giuliani documentary, Fox News has a comedian joking about Canada, MSNBC a documentary about migrants
So I turned on BBC,which is breathlessly switching between Syria, South Korea demonstrations, and Ghana election
