Just a friendly reminder that graphic novels and manga still count as "reading."
No literary snobbery will be tolerated around these parts.
Audiobooks count, too.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.
Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.
But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.
Trickle down hoax.

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic!
Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

Beck out here ripping off his own song like he’s like John Fogerty.
To the point where he has his hands on a steering wheel, which is the opening line of “The Golden Age.”
He’s lucky that it’s one of his best songs

![Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a CORRIDOR! A room door is open, and we see two crewmen spilling out into the hallway in red and blue uniforms. They are otherwise indecipherable tho because they are entirely enveloped in a big cloud of smoke. It's pouring out all around them and into the hallway area, like there's a Phish concert in there. Closed caption reads, "[COUGHING]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:i6ocendj65mmddfndihajsky/bafkreid4y3gbxwc5dg4mbzycsbij2lkhte22722ei7rupowkzm7juimqvy)
