Wow really? The film where the macho alien has to embrace a softer, more nurturing side to connect with his femme son was supposed to have overt queerness in it? Get out...

"we undress the mother of all..."
Yeah maybe gaming being more woke was a good thing jfc
A little something from me on disclosure and trustworthiness.
Interesting. I didnβt notice first time that it was for middle grade only. Which would have in the past left out Mal Peet (too teen) and Jon Klassen (too young), which I regard as the best βchildrenβs booksβ of the past twenty five years. Still, MG does get overlooked for other kids prizes, soβ¦
Reminder, now the world has been reduced to βcontentβ being fed into make-believe machines run by billionaires, books are gold dust when compared to all other βcontentβ. If only book publishing positioned themselves as that and believed in themselves.
Also every celebrity has a team that will weigh the pros and cons of having a fart. Pretty sure they considered this.
Itβs National Coming Out Day for all the letters of the rainbow. Itβs a huge risk for anyone, but if you can, we need you more than ever. And thereβs an army of us here to back you up, you beauty.
We unlocked each new level of Internet by playing through the game. These kids are getting access to all the bosses and weapons from the start and they donβt have enough XP to handle it
Financial blow but festival book supplier stands with writers in protest www.bendigoadvertiser.com.au/story/904243...
"OR I WILL DO THE OTHER THING"
You can hear him asking "Do you feel sad YET?" at regular intervals, just like you can in all of his novels.
I love thin-skinned people who think a chorus of warranted criticism = bullying. My man says he believes some people's rights are more valid because there are more of them... If we don't resist that, then the world falls apart.
Quite possibly the worst statement I've ever read.
They've stolen all our work for this shit. They should be ridiculed to high heaven.
We Could Be Something, by Will Kostakis @willkostakis.bsky.social
Hilarious one moment, heartbreaking the next. A romance/coming out story/family drama with alternating generational storytelling that's utterly unique.

do they think the only reason for a mid shot is because they couldnβt afford to build enough for a wide shot?
how do these people even cross the street safely
If only they had a social media person to tell them.
My favourite kind of post is: company makes social media manager redundant, then advertises for a new one (comments off).
A massacre.
βBy far the most troubling thing I learnt while researching this story is the decline of school libraries in public schools, both in their number and standard of facilities.β

Open AIβs valuation is at $400 billion. They used about 190,000 books to train their plagiarism bot. Randomly saying 25% of their value comes from that stolen dataset, I think they owe the authors about $526,000 per stolen book.

My favourite is when you say the line before they do. Happens 3 times an episode, and yet, I need it to happen more.
The writing on Reacher has never been worse.
I love it.
Iβm sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel
People see "posting" as activism, then feel satisfied they've done something?
In case it needs spelling out β₯οΈ
1. JK Rowling is a mess.
2. An author being gay does not make them your friend, an ally, or in John's case, a good writer.
If the Albanese government wanted a trade policy retaliation for the Trump tariffs, Iβve got just the thing: local content requirements for American content companies. Force Netflix to carry 25% Australian content for local audiences, or pay a big levy
Physical books: yourbookstore.io connects you with an indie to buy through.
Digital is trickier. We have larger online stores like Boomerang Books and Booktopia.
on a purple background, a jumble of pale text - quotes from Goodreads reviews of All Shall Mourn by Ellie Marney - form the backdrop to a graphic of the book itself in 3 formats (paperback, phone, ereader)
Well reviews are in and looks like I managed not to fuck up the finale of the None Shall Sleep series, phew π
