LA losing its mind over a World Cup match is almost as peak LA as LA losing its mind over 4th of July Fireworks (soon to be incoming).

@AuthorGFAllen That would be full fledged BOOK GRIEF. I have recently just emerged. The best cure is another amazing book. Good luck.

Does anyone else get that weird post-book slump after finishing an amazing book, where every other book on your shelf suddenly seems boring? How long does that feeling usually last?

@wolleyy_ Are you craving Apricot Brandy yet?

@vminlvletter I regret to inform you that yes, yes it is.

you open instagram and everyone is reading dungeon crawler carl . what is happening is it really that good

Why is Squeeze, a little known 80s band, suddenly the piped in music in literally every grocery store or drug store I enter?

@netflix Donut is pissed. Mongo is appalled.

It's a show? It's a lifestyle. It's a religion. We are sorry to say that Gilmore Girls Seasons 1-7 will be leaving Netflix in the US on June 30. Raising a cup of coffee to every fan who visited Stars Hollow with us.

@TaraBull Elric and his other brother Elric

Who are these guys?

@alessio_joseph you had me at 'chaotic dafont goodness'

one of the underrated harms of AI is the death of vernacular design now the kebab shop sign is gonna look like claudeslop instead of chaotic dafont goodness

@SketchesbyBoze I was 7 the first time I read The Hobbit.

I’ve been informed by folks on this site that The Hobbit and now Jane Austen are too difficult for teens. I can’t stress enough how condescending this is to teenagers. You’re taking away all the things that might bring them joy and leaving them with no pastimes but scrolling.

@bidonica1 Tusk in ep 1.

another underrated aspect of The Americans: it did Brown Eighties rather than Neon Eighties

People in LA after only getting 3 days of June Gloom and going immediately into August heat in early June:

@dieworkwear thank you for making this comment species neutral

pet hair improves an outfit through texture and visual interest

Who’s going to tell them?

@waterstonebooks I loved it. Reminded me a bit of Dune, of course, but with its own flavor.

Anyone else ever read this series? I've read it twice over the years and absolutely loved it. C.J. Cherryh's character work is some of the best around.

@pennyistyping yes

Bookish question: Physical books or ebooks?

@raweezzyy I found it... moving. Yes, it could create sadness in some readers. But it can also be read as uplifting. I definitely fell into the uplifting category.

@ajah Between two fires will have to wait then cause I just finished ‘I who have never known men’ and I can’t do back to back heaviness lol Is remarkably bright creatures sad?

Help me pick my next read I’m stuck and they all sound good 😭

@SunWeatherMan Massive! And I keep seeing headlines saying: "The Philippines Experiences Their Largest Earthquake of 2026" as if they get them that big constantly. A fact check revealed there are only 2 earthquakes that big that have been officially recorded there, including this one.

That…. Is a big earthquake

@AuthorGFAllen The Hobbit

What’s the first book you remember falling in love with?
