Yup bit of a mess. Ours was due for pick up yesterday, and still nothing as of right now.

I stopped listening to people online about shows. There's a lot of grifters and haters out there these days. The final episode is like the final chapter of the final book of a long running series. Everything is wrapped up. I cried a few times during the finale/season. I still recommend watching it.

I still liked s5. At least that ending was satisfying for me.

Loved the review. I agree this book sounds terrible, but as a writer, I am stuck thinking how I'd improve it (i think i'd make Daylen go all dark into one of those heartless things). You're suggestions of Paul and Piccolo are spot on. So much wasted potential with a hook/premise that was given.

I know people don't think about fantasy novels as social works but they are

Look at how they have changed

Look at who hates these changes

Look at who refuses to see fantasy novels for more than childish escape

2 Episodes into Bridgerton Season 4. So far, it's reminding me how much I love the Cinderella tropes. (Getting huge Ever After vibes!)

The Princess in uptown will most likely be playing this as they did the first one last year.

005: The Author as Misguided Activist: Why We Don't Publish Moralising Stories Sign up to the STP newsletterI’m semi-frequently asked what I mean when I say we publish stories that don’t moralise. After all, making space for more...

Totally love this newsletter from @seizethepress.bsky.social about how art doesn't replace action and more about moralizing stories. Said better than I ever could.

I still have mixed feelings on this. The Odyssey is full of craziness, not sure if all of it will fit in a 2-3 hr movie. Not to mention the emphasis of wife/son story that doesn't get mentioned until the last few pages of the poem?
