No, I keep a TBR and use a random number generator to select my next read. I have no problem DNRing because I have no problem finding new titles that look interesting and life is too short to read them all. Why should I waste my limited time on this earth reading something I'm not enjoying? Who does that benefit?

Feed by MT Anderson, published in 2002 had a good take on how they algorithms and advertisements would run our lives.

For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon — a chance to party during spring break. But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their .heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy girl who has decided to fight the feed and its ever-present ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. M.T. Anderson’s not-so-brave new world is a smart, savage satire that has captivated readers with its view of an imagined future that veers unnervingly close to the here and now.

I very much want to see more beginners share. Think of it as documenting your journey.

Fresh discard is great for adding flavor, and takes the place of an equal portion of flour/water in whatever recipe you're using. Here's a primer.

Give that Wolf a Banana by Subwoolfer would fit.

Eta: check out their other songs, they have a whole wolves eating grandmas theme.

I was about to post "play on playa" when I decided to look up the lyrics of the song. Almost every site has it as "play on, playette." Wtf is playette? It's playa, right?

Anything with women. Like, there were so many women doing cool, important spy stuff in WW2, but every time we get another film, it's just more dudes. Something along the lines of Hidden Figures, but for every other major event in modern history.

So cool. I wonder how much it cost to make them.

Some years I do, and this is one of them, though I'm not sure yet if my plans include a friend's housewarming party, or a local pub. I'm planning to be a snowy egret. I've got the stuff to make this kind of mask.

I didn't get to do Halloween as a kid, so I missed out on trick-or-trearing. Seems like that's becoming less of a thing now,at least in my area. It's just trunk-or-treat at churches or schools. I wish real life was more like the over-the-top Halloween parties you always see on tv.

 

If so, what do you plan to be this year? If not, what do you enjoy seeing others wear? Or if you want to talk about why you don't, that's welcome too.

Koseki snaps multiple exposures in a single frame, layering the glowing spheres of light and parabolic flight paths of numerous fireflies over landscapes featuring trees, waterfalls, woodland creatures, and distant horizons.

 

Who do you look at on screen and say "ooh I LOVE their sense of style"?

 

You may recall my initial version with the tree in the background.

Do you guys see a duck in this painting? My family say they can't look at it without seeing a duck, but it just doesn't make sense to me.
