Saw This Meme, Immediately Had To Draw Scotty In It

The live version is so good.

'I'm forcing you to talk about it, Anderson!' Fiery Bernie Sanders jabs ...

If there were ever a topic to maybe reach over the other side to come to agreement on, maybe it’s this. Forget about anything else because it’s too polarizing, but everyone needs medical care.

SQUID prop (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device)

from Strange Days (dir. Kathryn Bigelow, 1995)

It's Friday and it's time to hang out with the family.

I felt this. That quote was a gut wrench. Every parent-child relationship is complex, and the love was there. This book series captures so many aspects of love with it's characters.

***Iron Flame SPOILERS****

I am so incredibly disappointed with what everyone is choosing to talk about with this book. Everyone is concentrating on what happens with Xaden but you know what to me was the absolute most gut wrenching storyline in the whole book? General Lilith Fucking Sorrengail.

From the moment we see her again in the beginning of the book she is nothing but supportive and proud of her daughter. Yes, she absolutely made the wrong decision where she stands in the war, and what she did to Xaden was absolutely inexcusable. (Although I do think if she hadn’t done that they would have killed all the marked ones.) But she made all those decisions for her children. Because she did what she needed to to keep them safe. You can’t convince me that even after Violet leaves, that even after Mira leaves, that she wasn’t incredibly thankful for the fact they were together and with Xaden who would never let something happen to Violet.

Lilith went into the dungeons to get her daughter out of there and I am not unconvinced that had Violet not already been mid rescue the General wouldn’t have turned traitor right there to get her out. The scene when Brennen reveals himself to her?? She’s cracking and can hardly hold herself together and my heart felt so sorry for her in that moment. It made me mad at Brennan because he threw it in her face like ammo when Violet spent all of fourth wing describing how his death ruined their mother.

One of the most heart breaking quotes in the whole book is at the beginning of chapter 65:

“Most generals dream of dying in service to their kingdom. But you know me better than that, my love. When I fall, it will be for one reason only: to protect our children.”

General Sorrengail didn’t support the war, she didn’t fight for Navarre she made it clear fron the beginning that she was just a mom protecting her kids, and she did so without second thought. Without hesitation. She didn’t do what she did for the war effort, or even to help everyone on the battlefield. She did it for Brennen, and Violet, and Mira.

Lilith Sorrengail was just a desperate mother and everyone glossing over her sacrifice is bullshit.

I don't know the source but it sounds like a plausible approach.

This gifset got me to watch this show. I'm still a sucker for preppy drama and romance.

Wow, I give a lot of credit to those who go back to regular mobile phones. I don’t think my old phones are supported on the network anymore…

Q: How do you manage all the noise from the internet with regards to something that is being brought back to life after so very long?

Noooo! I was lamenting the past year about how mass market paperbacks are becoming more and more unavailable. They've been the best format for carrying around. Honestly, I wish they stopped pushing hardcover. People still want pocketable stuff, even young people.

I will even take the new format I saw which was still pocket width but the height was just a little taller. Example: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/333560/lord-of-the-flies-by-william-golding-afterword-by-lois-lowry/9780399501487/

Publishers Plan for a New Mass Market Paperback Winnowing

While it may not quite be a death knell, Readerlink’s decision to end distribution for the format is likely to push publishers to dramatical

So this is interesting. :/
