christmas horror is mostly meh. i did watch One Battle After Another and It Ends last weekend. enjoyed both more than all this obnoxious horror. oh, Santa Claws is more a christmas stripe tease than horror #letterboxd #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

Jane Austen used 'however' at the beginning of a sentence, and so can you.

i think one of the greatest compliments to a persons life is for trump to disparage them after their death. obviously, Rob Reiner and his wife were doing something right

watching Final Destination 2 for the first time. just saw the logging truck accident. why would a dad knowingly let their child leave for a road trip to Florida with a leaking transmission

bummer
All my recent books went from hardcover to trade paperback and almost all of my backlist in mass market has now migrated to trade. The role of mass market paperbacks is now handled almost entirely by ebooks. I'm okay with this but it is the end of an era.

Last Call for Mass Market Paperbacks
After years of steady sales declines, the format will largely disappear next year.

months ago i got a notice from the VA that i might be eligible for additional gi bill benefits but they would review everyone's records and i din't have to do anything. apparently, that was a lie. my benefits currently end before my MPA program. just filled out the form to extend them 🫠

so this book that i'm reading that i'm not really into seems to have been marketed to adults but, too me, it feels rather YA or NA. which, i don't mind. i just want to know that's what i'm getting into from the start #booksky

i've stayed up way too late for this christmas horror marathon i decided to do. it's been, uh, interesting #letterboxd #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

finished today: A Fever in the Heartland by Timothy Egan. i found it difficult to not draw comparisons to America today. like, there's this orange man that could be Stephenson reincarnated

i've heard that paramount is now attempting a hostile take over of WB and i hope it fails. like, in my mind, a very rich man is having a tantrum and just let that little bitch cry

finished late last night: Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown. overall a decent story but problematic language that doesn't age well. i have mixed feelings about this one #booksky

youtube won't stop asking me to come back to premium, which is a thing i absolutely won't do and since they won't stop with a full screen ad for it, i deleted the app. i'm just done with bs things that i can control

this is both some bullshit and disgusting. it doesn't surprise me that it's a florida based company www.npr.org/2025/12/02/n...
This company charges disabled vets millions, even after VA said it's likely illegal
A Florida-based company is charging military veterans as much as $20,000 for help with disability claims, even though the VA has said that may be illegal and the service should be free. But so far nob...

sometimes, reading one star reviews of books is both entertaining and concerning. the book i found these review on is James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time, which is roughly 100 pages long and contains one letter to his nephew and one essay. It was published in 1963 #booksky

booktubers/tokers: i love you. i am absolutely not watching your 2025 best of videos this early in December. like, i don't want to see that shit until January. are you not reading this month
