@Djbienaime Right on. Folks were saying the same about Ersery last year. "Can't start a rookie at LT."

If your first round pick can’t beat out Jake Andrews then that’s not ideal. I Still think Keylan will be starting Week 1 tho.

@BeardofDarkness @JohnGwynne_ Mine must have gotten lost in the mail 😂

We’re BACK! I waited for this moment to happen and show myself that I should be here. The ARC of THE WOLVES OF WAR by @JohnGwynne_ arrived last week and after only 6 chapters, I can say that this is going to be a LEGENDARY one ☝️ #johngwynne #thewolvesofwar #sffbooks

The reactions to this on my Facebook page are...something. Apparently they're taking it as me saying The Beatles suck? Clearly, this is the face I make when folks say stupid shit like this. But maybe my delivery was wrong.

"I never really understood the whole Beatles thing. Personally, I think they're overrated."

The Books I'm Most Excited For in Fall 2026 | 10 Reads In My Plans youtu.be/lZtYa6n1ZNM

NEW VIDEO!! Talking some new and some old books I’m planning to check off my list this Fall. Link in the replies below👇

@Romudeth That's one big difference I think in our generation and the ones that came after. They have an endless need to choose one between two great things. Gimme both.

@chrisgbrenning Better than having to wait 2 years to see the cliffhanger resolution

@Zepp1978 I still need to watch the second season....

Wife is out of town for a symposium so can’t watch the new House of the Dragon until tomorrow. But I’m not hearing the usual bitching on the socials so it must not have been that bad.

@Zepp1978 Direct quote from my wife, unfortunately. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

My youngest kid asked me if this is Gozer from Ghostbusters. I couldn’t help it. I laughed.

👀 @Litescalates @LordGrimdark

@MichaelBookCult In diggin it.

@Zepp1978 I've quite enjoyed the new season. I think the cinematography and costume design is about as good as anything that's ever been. And Rhaenyra's acting is superb.

@rights_of_bill Their Highlander tracks alone are 🐐

@Zepp1978 @LBuckingham @fleetwoodmac Queen doesn’t get mentioned enough in these 80’s movie soundtracks. Flash Gordon, Highlander, Iron Eagle. That stands up to anyone.

Me, a massive Fleetwood Mac fan, was today years old when I learned Lindsey Buckingham did "Holiday Road" from Vacation. I had no idea. Holy shit. It's totally obvious now. @LBuckingham @fleetwoodmac

@rights_of_bill @LBuckingham @fleetwoodmac What happens to the dog in that movie is what makes that track instantly hilarious.

@Zepp1978 @LBuckingham @fleetwoodmac Maybe if he threw in an Aunt Edna bridge that would make all the difference.

@LeonSandoTXMN @rights_of_bill Not the same. Everyone had the Top Gun, Footloose, and Caddyshack soundtracks. Who went and bought National Lampoon's Vacation soundtrack? Did it even have one?

@rights_of_bill @Zepp1978 @LBuckingham @fleetwoodmac Wait till he finds out about the songs Kenny Loggains pumped out for movies or what the lead singer of Oingo Boingo did in his career….

@rights_of_bill @LBuckingham @fleetwoodmac Hey, don't discount the dog barks at the end. I'll not have you denying musical genius.

@Zepp1978 @LBuckingham @fleetwoodmac Easiest paycheck a lyricist could make. 4 lines of verse total. Some “Oh’s”, and a repeating chorus of “Holiday Road”. Padded up to 2 and a half minutes.

@vinayvasan Yeah, it sucks. Long form book videos/reviews will be next. It's all 60-second reactions vids now.

RIP to one of the first Fantasy blog sites I read frequently

@JonathanKoan I usually like all the episodes. But I know a lotta folks just can't let themselves enjoy it. Ever.

@Zepp1978 I still really liked it…even if it’s the weakest episode of the season for me. I just really love the political storylines they are exploring.
