From a FB group. This is a guy boasting about how his blog revenue has increased even in a recession (when most people's has gone down).

He's generating recipes using ChatGPT and posting 5-10 of these recipes per day.

Use kitchen advice from unfamiliar blogs at your peril.

Watching a Murder She Wrote episode set in Australia and the only thing more ridiculous than the terrible Aussie accents is this Kangaroo wine bottle holder. I’m obsessed.

@catherine_mayer @sanditoksvig @judekellystudio Highly reminiscent of a TV commercial for Oddfellows peppermints which ran in Aotearoa New Zealand in the 1980s. (Can find it on YouTube.) It was all the queer rep we had back then, and our lesbian teachers got the juniors to perform it on stage.

This sounds like something Frog and Toad would agree on

i love being in bed. i don’t understand how people don’t get into bed and immediately feel happier. Sometimes I get into bed and that is my activity, just being in bed, because that’s how happy it makes me. I just lay there and think about how I’m in my bed and I’m happy about it

.@blacula & @MeansColeman "The Black Guy Dies First - Black Horror Cinema from Fodder to Oscar." A brilliant history of Black horror that is rigorous & so funny. Can black horror compete with the horrors of the present? Absolutely something we will talk about on @HorrorVanguard

[Alice Evans @_alice_evans]

If you were to study TV, I personally would NOT look at **average** effects.

Reactions were polarised.

More liberal viewers were inspired & emboldened.

Conservatives by contrast, were horrified & organised a counter-movement to protect America’s moral integrity.

[Into The Forest Dark @ElliottBlackwe3]

Author & illustrator Arnold Lobel said of his creating Frog & Toad: I cared about what the story would be for children, but at the same time I was aware that all of the things that happened in it were essentially very personal to me and had resonances in my own life.

[Carolyn Hinds 🇧🇧 #FreePalestine #CongoInCrisis @CarrieCnh12]

The way Netflix constantly cancels shows with BIPOC leads, and unique narratives and visual concepts, but spends millions per episode on shows that don't need multiple seasons, is not a sustainable business model, no matter how much they brag about "most watched" anything.

I need this movie

If I was ever in a horror movie trying to sneak away from a predator, my popping knee would instantly give me away
