I don’t know how to process the horrific fire hose of tragedy that has been omnipresent but has spiked this weekend, and I suspect I’m not alone. We aren’t meant to carry this much suffering and be able to function at “normal” capacity. Be gentle with yourself and others, if you can.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.

It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

"At a time when much of society looked down on a group of kids fearfully, denied them their humanity, & ignored their pains and happinesses, Hinton gave this much-maligned group a voice and an image,” writes @alishamgl.bsky.social in her ode to author S.E. Hinton’s teenage characters.

If anyone wants a quick, short, and spectacular Halloween read, find Ursula K. Le Guin's werewolf tale "The Wife's Story." Don't look up anything about it in advance! It's a story that should be read unspoiled.
Can we just appreciate how stunning young Ursula K Le Guin was

It seems insufficient to even call Drew Struzan a legend. He created the indelible images of movies in the minds of more than one generation. You can't do it better.

the ending of THE GODFATHER, the best american movie ever made, doesn't work without diane keaton's final look --- at the realization of who she's married and what her life is going to become and what corruption lurks behind closed doors. unforgettable, inimitable work. RIP.

No, no...I think you misheard: The RAPTOR is coming this week. Still a cause for concern, I suppose. You could stay inside, but she can open doors. Clever girl.

Robert Redford wasn’t just a great actor. He used his profile to help others. From environmentalism, Native American rights, LGBTQ advocacy, and independent film, he cared deeply about people, and preserving their culture and world.

Perfect library joke
It's seven years since we posted on Twitter about how kids kept coming into the library asking if we had any books about FORTNITE. We didn't back then, and we'd never heard of it so we tried asking what it was.
