Could use an NSFW tag.
Plus one for Kobo. It also has Libby built in so you can checkout and return books right in the reader.
Man I feel so damned sorry for those DOGE staffers who might get treated like they treated THOUSANDS of people.
So just tow them all and impound them.
That looks bad even for AI. Looks more like a 10 year with a stolen copy of photoshop.
I've been reading this series to my infant son and it rules. I keep learning little details that I didn't know while preloading hard science into the little guy.
This is really amazing. And I am so pleased to hear it is not ai generated. Wonderful work.
More like Alien alien vs Prometheus Alien. We all lose.
Too bad nothing matters anymore.
Don't tell Elon though.
Hey guys, it was brought up in a report that NSFW tags should be applied to posts depicting drug use. What do you guys think? I could see it either way and thought you guys might like to weigh in on it. I personally don't find it particularly offensive but my work environments have never been the type to react strongly to something like this popping up on screen (I think they might be more upset about being on Lemmy at all). Currently there is no rule, and I am fine with that, unless feedback indicates the community would rather play it safe and require the NSFW flag.
Several movies will open nationwide but none are projected to make a dent on box office charts over the Labor Day holiday weekend.
It's been a rough few weeks.
A man was arrested after following and firing shots at a car, according to an affidavit from Dallas Police.
The district in the Rio Grande Valley immediately agreed with activists who said the books were "filthy and evil."
Welcome to Texas.
There is something fun and sinister about a well done lovecraftian style story. If you don't mind that sort of thing I HIGHLY recommend "The Void" during your halloween times. It is very lovecraftian and works on a lot of levels. To me "Event Horizon" also has that feel. As long as the stories play up the creep factor over the sheer gore of it all I think there are some cool ideas here.

> ARTICLE>> https://screenrant.com/lovecraft-stories-movie-adaptations-need-modern/ > > H.P. Lovecraft was known for his fantastical novels, whose influence has bled into the cultural perception of horror, making them perfect for modern movie adaptations. Lovecraft is undoubtedly a flawed and prejudiced figure in literature, and any undertaking to adapt his stories should acknowledge the issues of racism, xenophobia, and homophobia in his work. Bringing Lovecraft into the modern era means doing his work justice, as well as exploring how they can be made more reflective of the present day.
This is the movie I probably would have seen this weekend if they hadn't shut down all of the Alamo Drafthouse theaters in my city. Was it a good time?
Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas has sold to Sony Pictures Entertainment but will continue to operate its theaters under the brand name
I really hope this is a good thing. I don't want to see theaters die, but I really hope Sony doesn't interfere with the things that make Alamo Drafthouse great... I really hope they can rectify the closure of all the DFW locations as well.
The fundamental tenet of a working democracy is voting. Everyone should have a vote and everyone should exercise their right to vote. To that end we have been seeing posts attempting to shame/mock or otherwise influence people not to vote. While this is a meme community, the idea that people shouldn’t vote goes against the fundamentals of a democracy by the people and for the people. To that end, we are adding a new rule that disallows posts that discourage or shame people from voting. This doesn’t mean that you can’t address how people vote, but even those who don’t agree with you and your political views should still vote. We all should. Everyone. Part of the reason we are in the mess we are in now is because participation in democracy is abysmal. Posts discouraging people from voting are essentially propaganda and will be removed.
PoliticalMemes is a community for having fun at the expense of our political hellscape we find ourselves in. People not voting is a big part of why.
We are taking feedback on this change, please let us know if you agree or disagree in the comments and why.
New research finds that Israel’s attacks on Gaza damaged hospitals and other medical facilities at the same rate as other buildings, potentially in violation of international law.
We saw VERY few nominations for books in December, and I know everyone is very busy with the season. We'll open nominations for January at the end of the month so be thinking about it.
INSTEAD... we are going to be reading some short stories for those that still want to have something to read together.
Let's read:
- This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
- The Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang
- The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster
If you have other suggestions we can throw them out here too. I'll create discussion for these three for now.
The time has come, friends, to nominate more reading for December! This post will collect nominations for the next few days (I’m thinking into the weekend) and then we’ll have us a vote. Please don’t hesitate to talk about why you want to share your pick and why you think it will be a good item for ...
I know this is a busy month for a lot of us. So far we only have 2 nominations for the book club and one of them is mine. It seems like December might not be a great month for the book club. If we don't get a few more nominations I am going to cancel for December and push whatever nominations we get into nominations for January.
What do you guys think? Should we cancel book club for December and pick up in January or do you guys want to move forward (which will some more nominations for a vote to make sense).
Here's the nomination post for convenience. November Nominations

Texans are facing the fallout of a $3.5 billion debt from the disastrous Winter Storm Uri, with a surcharge added to every natural gas bill to settle the debt over the next 16 years.
I whipped this up today because I am always having to look it up and figure out when I am supposed to put my turkey from the Freezer to the Fridge. I plan to pretty it up over the next few days but hopefully this will be helpful to others (me too since I am cooking a turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year). I am open to suggestions too if you have any.
Texans weighed in on property tax cuts, cost-of-living adjustments for retired public school employees, the mandatory retirement age for judges and more during the Nov. 7 election.
