So, last night I used Hoopla to borrow a Bingepass to Hallmark+, only to find out that Diagnosis: Murder has been taken off of it.

Not the best start to the new year...

OK, I'm playing the new Noir map for the Clue game, and my God, Signature Forger White looks even better than her other incarnations before. Mm!

A screenshot of Marmalade Games' Clue on the Noir map, with the black amd white filter on. The Noir version of Lawyer Peacock accuses Signature Forger White of killing Mr. Boddy with the Mini Revolver in the Lounge. White has long white hair and is dressed in a primarily white suit.

@tonygoldmark.bsky.social I don't know why, but this review for a book I'm listening to feels like the kind of thing you'd debunk. It feels like the reviewer is making this more of a thing than it is, but maybe I don't know enough about Israel and Zionism?

Only reference in the book, btw.

The cover to the Rosie Danan romance book "Fan Service". The title is written in yellow on a large clapper board. The leads stand behind the clapper board underneath a full moon. The male lead, Devin Ashwood, stands on the left ripping open his shirt with claws on his fingers. The female lead, Alex Lawson, stands next to him holding a book with a wolf howling at the moon in her hand.

A 2-star review of "Fan Service" by a "mjspice".

"NGL but this is was rather boring for me. Only towards the end did stuff happen but otherwise it was rather bland.

I'm also a bit iffy at the casual mention of Kr*v M*g* considering what it stands for and in the current political situation. I can only hope it's not what I think it is.

Edit: After seeing this tweet I will be with-holding reading any further books from this author until they claim otherwise."

The review holds the link to a tweet, which has been screenshotted in the next photo.

A screenshot of "John Duncan (@Johntheduncan)" quote tweeting a Jeff Zhang. Jeff's tweet reads "See you next year, The Pitt." The image is of a woman, with text underneath her reading "I Know Krav Maga". Underneath is an image of a man, the text under him reading "Cool. I don't know who that is, but he sounds very protective of you". [Note, the "but he sounds" part of the tweet is cut off, and I don't care enough about The Pitt to learn who the characters are.]

John's tweet reads:

"The mythology around Krav Maga is part of Israel's colonial propaganda. A super lethal, masculinist, fighting force able to handily put down Arab hordes with special martial arts. It's obvious bullshit propaganda and so many Americans especially seem to fall for it"

A screenshot of a page of the e-book for "Fan Service", containing a mention of Krav Maga.

“Holy shit,” Alex whispered, but the sound carried through the mic.

Devin hadn’t intended to set off a kind of cascade, but it must have seemed like a cool thing to do, donating after he did. Because some car dealership guy jumped in on it. Then a lady from the local real estate firm.

It wasn’t everyone. Some folks still gave Alex the stink eye as she came back to her seat, but she didn’t seem to notice.

She spent the whole car ride home telling him in painstaking detail all about the programs and people he was supporting. Glassblowing and fiber arts, Krav Maga and affordable childcare.

Devin literally grew up with people taking money from him, but it turned out that giving it away felt different.

His insides went all warm and gooey, like a half-baked cookie.

There was something new in her scent, a flavor of fondness that Devin didn’t recognize.He felt like blushing. Thank god they were sitting in shadow.

@tonygoldmark.bsky.social Here's an interesting question to ponder: What's a more fitting fate for 45 when he shuffles off: eternity in Hell living a punishment of your choosing, or the complete cessation of his consciousness?

There's a meme to be made about saying "no-one asked you" to the tune of "Making Christmas" from Nightmare Before Christmas. Can someone get on this?

I can just imagine some middleman in a trafficking organization constantly having to send coded messages telling clients to be subtle and it just never takes.

"For fuck's sake, we gave you a key for your purchases, use it whe- Oh my God, did you actually just message us from your work email?!"

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

"Ohhh... listen you little puke, if I ever get my hands on you, I'll punch your teeth out and use 'em to make a comb!"

I had to get a Moe-like response in here somewhere.

@misterabk.bsky.social As I recall, book 4 of Montgomery Bonbon released some months back, but I don't think I've seen it in libraries physical or digital here in Florida. Is this a thing like the first three books where it hasn't been released to the US yet?
