Funny, I'm from Winnipeg and always thought hummus elsewhere tasted wrong. Now I know why!

To this day he speaks highly of that interview on his podcast

He's a shockingly kind and thoughtful person, despite being weird and abrasive sometimes

Bluesky and Mastodon both have settings to remind you. I wish they were on by default, because most people are forgetful and just get excited to post their thing!

They aren't mistakes, they're just examples of the odd phrasing throughout the article. It reads to my ear like an ai summary

Am I crazy or is that ai written? "His most significant takeaway..." and "another things he learned..." has that awkward ai sound to my ear

I've heard that voice actors have lost a lot of work for very similar reasons

I just want to live in a world where artists can make art and improve society and not have to worry about whether enough people are gonna pay for it so they don't starve :(

GitHub sometimes takes down malicious repos when I report them, but usually not

It's crazy how little they care and how little effort they put in to be good Internet denizens

I need to re-read The Stand post-Covid to see how the first half hits differently

I remember them arriving in Denver and realizing that the beast of a book I just read was only the set-up!

I read a lot of Stephen King, and while I really enjoy his books and get into them, boy are they long!

I read The Passage trilogy by Cronin last year and same thing - couldn't put them down but still multiple days to read

I'm cheating a bit because I started reading @tkingfisher.com's horror books.. they're not super long and they're so good that it's hard to NOT read them in one sitting! That really padded out my late-year reading stats

I felt like I was doing pretty good at 18!
