That’s the pettiest shit I’ve ever seen
Absolutely!
Haha yes, we can go with “refined!” Though these days I find myself reaching for books that are more fun than literary.
I try not to pay a ton of attention to reviews for the reason, for books and movies. Sometimes I’ll check afterward for something I enjoyed and find that it’s not well reviewed. Maybe I have trash taste 😅
Yeah, there are some books that are highly recommended–even some that are personally recommended to me by a friend–that I end up not enjoying. I don’t think that makes them bad books, just not the right book for me.
I definitely liked the first Broken Earth book the best as well.
I’m not sure how I feel about the city trilogy either. The characters and their voices are great, but a lot of the more abstract scenes/actions didn’t really do anything for me.
I think she writes well enough that it keeps me reading (and wins her awards), but I haven’t loved most of her books.
Almost done with N.K. Jemisin’s The World We Make.
Also reading the fourth John Dies at the End book.
And listening to Why We Sleep.
That’s one that falls under the “not strictly comedic” but omg if I didn’t burst out laughing at Justin Long’s character several times. It was directed by one of the guys from Whitest Kids U Know and I think that shows through occasionally.
I’m also including some movies that are horror comedies that are actually good and fun on purpose in case those strike the same chord with you. Some aren’t strictly comedic, but I think they’re all fun.
Her little beauty mark!!
I also have a cow cat who sleeps like that. Not a care in the world.
Haha yeah I think they have some of the same writers but Cody gets a bit weird with it (have you met Warmbo yet?)
Glad you like it!
Some More News - a disheveled and sarcastic anchor does a deep dive into a current topic
Contrapoints - an ex-philosopher does a really deep dive into a topic (sometimes a concept or a phenomenon, sometimes a particular person or event), with incredibly high production value and costumes. Unfortunately this means she only puts out 2 videos a year, but they’re now usually 1-2 hours long.
Podcasts - some have YT channels, but often no video, so if you’re looking for something to watch, this may not be helpful
Behind the Bastards - a deep dive (often 2+ hour+ episodes) into different historical or current terrible people
5-4 - a podcast about why the Supreme Court sucks
Maintenance Phase - two journalists talk about various health, diet, and wellness scams and misconceptions
If Books Could Kill (no YT channel) - Michael Hobbes from Maintenance Phase and Peter from 5-4 talk about “airport books”–bad pop science books
You’re Wrong About - Sarah Marshall and Michael Hobbes (until late 2021) talk about pop culture misconceptions, everything from O.J. to the Satanic Panic to Iran-Contra and more.
Is there an Android app that will display both the post and comments in-app? It seems like all the ones I’ve tried can display the images/posts, but will send you to reddit if you want to read the comments.
Ones I’ve tried:
Young Souls. I’m pretty forgiving when it comes to couch co-op games if we find one we can both enjoy.
And this one was good, but it was basically unplayable on the Switch (or, at least, constantly crashed mine). Finally got to the very end (where there’s no saving from the start of the end cutscene until the finale) and it crashed before the final battle. Restarted, got through several minutes of cutscenes, got a little farther but crashed again, this time in the final battle. Tried one more time and it crashed again in a different spot. Promptly deleted the game.
So I guess we’ll never finish that one.
