Just talked to a class of sixth-graders and one of them asked "If someone else wrote your book and you read it, would you still think it was good?" and I felt the room start to spin...

When someone asks, "What is it?" and someone else answers, "It's a mystery!" I sincerly hope this is what they're talking about 😂

So, does this mean that in the postmodern era the Author is God? 🤔

Because I already have more hubris than I'll ever be able to use 😜😂

My 6yr old got her glasses last week and she needs to wear them at all times. They're pink andcute and she looks adorable. She also loves to wear fun cardigans with her outfits, she calls them her "comfort cardi's".
Today the librarian told her she looks like the cutest librarian she'd eveer seen. Her reply?
With the most serious face she could muster. "I would never have let anything happen to the Library of Alexandria. Never."

2 photos captioned "if you missed the solar eclipse, this is what it looked like:"
First picture is of an orange cat sitting comfortably on a blanket with a knitted run around its head. The cat looks extremely content.
Second picture: a black cat is held uncomfortably up by 2 hands in front of the orange cat. It's wearing a grey knitted bonnet reminiscent of the moon. It does not look particularly happy. The orange cat tilts it's head to the side to see past it.

Rated Faster Than Sex 10/10

Joel hit it out of the park with this one. An entire concept album about a bona fide car lover, Carlito Benz, heir of the Benz family and the title of Master of Cars. In usual Joel fashion, it's immature, crude, loud, funny, rockin', and something you listen to both unironically and ironically.

When you say ‘I use Linux’ and accidentally summon the entire BSD family.

#FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #Unix #Linux #BSD #Meme #Memes #Humor #SpongeBob

Six-panel cartoon featuring SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward. Patrick says, “I use Linux.” Squidward asks, “What is Linux?” SpongeBob replies, “It means he is afraid of BSD.” Squidward responds, “No it does not.” The next panel lists “FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD,” while Patrick looks funny. In the final panel, SpongeBob raises his hands in panic and says, “Stop it Patrick! You’re scaring him.”

All in favour of changing Library to Book hoard, and Librarian to Book Dragon? 😁

P.S Book Dragon is obviously the best kind of dragon 😊

Post by dolohkov:

An Old English word for library was “bochord”, which literally means “book hoard”, and honestly I really think we should go back to saying that because not only does it sound really cool, but it also sort of implies that librarians are dragons.

I've finished: There Is No Antimemetics Division by qntm

Science Fiction at its best takes an existing element of our world or invents a new one and explores the possible Repercussions.

In many cases the new phenomena / technology's effect is ramped up to extreme degrees for dramatic effect.

Memes, viral ideas and their effect on the human psyche are definitely part of the 2020s zeitgeist. Imagining creatures / beings that have weaponized them, makes for a very current sci-fi novel.

We get a spy thriller with a twist even more complicated than time travel. Solving the complexity of fighting a war under such conditions is the driving force. It is hard to follow but the war gives every action and reaction a direction. Helping the reader to reacquire the thread even if they get confused along the way.

Even though mind control has been done in the past, There Is No Antimemetics Division, feels like something fresh and new in the sci-fi landscape.
