This is such a great idea!

They sell feet-za k later everyone

Did you make it?? This sounds amazing lol

🍄 Vision Pro but it’s just a pair of colored snowboarding goggles and 1/8 of caps lol

I’m a bigger fan of Mlem personally, it feels closer to what Apollo was and could see it heading more in that direction.

I totally get what you mean! I’ve been trying to comment and vote, but my usage is pretty strictly mobile based so I’m relying on the capabilities of a specific app, which is still in its infancy.

I will say, I’ve been hanging out on /all /new and seeing more and more instances popping up that are obvious subreddit replacements.

Hmmm it’s almost like sending fully armed and decked out gang members to respond to mental health crises would result in exacerbated circumstances??? Wild stuff.

But for real I love this program and hope to see it spread throughout the country

I read Ulysses last year and it was a great experience. I tried to use the audiobook podcast and notes and different sources to get all the references down but it was all so overwhelming I just said screw it and read the text as is. Will definitely do it again in a few years. Now the only Joyce I haven’t read yet are Dubliners and Finnegans Wake.

I would have to say American Psycho was pretty fucked up and I don’t think I see it mentioned yet. Way more intense than the movie because it’s a much deeper character study. But man that Patrick Bateman has some fucking crazy thoughts

I love formative books like that!! Not nearly the same genre wise but I have vivid memories of my mom reading CS Lewis to us, though I haven’t revisited any of them since their movies came out years ago.

I have a little collection of his books that I haven’t read yet, but this has me excited for one I haven’t heard much of!! The ones I’m most familiar with are Tess of the D’ubervilles and Jude the Obscure.

I think I preferred The Iliad to The Odyssey but I really liked them both. The Odyssey was definitely more fantastical whereas The Iliad felt more epic and thrilling.

I read that towards the end of last year, and I think it could just be the writing style of that time, but there were definitely some tough slogs to get through. At the same time though, there are some great passages that were pretty thrilling or spooky or even a bit funny. Especially the image of a cowboy character stuck in the middle of this got his style horror 😂

I’d definitely count it, if you read it in a book lol. And yeah, it’s known as the oldest story ever, so I’d imagine it outdates everyone, Homer included 😉

Ugh. This one hurt. I know he was 89, and I feel so lucky he got his last two out and get to read them (still haven’t read Stella Maris but The Passenger was a lot of mysterious fun, reminded me a bit a Pulp, contextually speaking)

Classic

11:30 am, a great time of day!

I will never not read that as “fuck you spez” 😂 I love it

I’ve never been much of a tumblr person but I may check it out. I’ve also jumped into mastodon, but haven’t found much funny

Oh I love listening to all sorts, but currently,

Jazz: Shakey Jake by Joe McPhee. Got it from an episode of Severance if you have Apple TV+, also highly recommended. Also, Shh/Peaceful by Miles Davis. Just unbelievably chill vibes.
