44 billion for a cringey rebrand. What will they call tweets now? ReXs? in c/enoughmuskspam@lemmy.world

Probably something that makes it even harder and more confusing to understand in context, so I'm gonna say he calls them "texts"

Enjoy this deep dive on the Bears roster. A little critical at points, so watch out Kool-Aid drinkers (www.youtube.com)
 

I love this guy's breakdowns ahead of the season. They're great to watch if you've got time to kill or just in the background while you're working. Gets you familiar with every team, their schemes, and what they'll likely look like during the year.

Reddit: open /r/pics or else. Mods: OK but you didn't say how in c/maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world

Took a peek and it doesn't look like there's any recent posts on /r/gifs ? Like, sort by new and everything other that 5 reddit is killing itself posts is at least 19 days old. What's up with that?

How tastes change over the years (lemmy.world)
 

I find it incredible how different I feel about certain books/series now vs how I felt about them 15 or 20 years ago. What sort of major changes have happened to your tastes during your fantasy journey?

I used to own every single Wheel of Time book and spent all my time on wotmania.com, but I have zero desire to read them ever again. Honestly, classic epic fantasy just doesn't do it for me in general anymore.

I don't tend to get excited about the next Brandon Sanderson novel, but I was a huge proponent of him when he was signing copies of Elantris in my tiny Idaho mall.

It'd be great if Rothfuss, Lynch or Martin finished their series, but I used to rant and rave about wanting them and now I just move on to things that are done. I can wait, and in the case of Rothfuss I'm not 100% sure those books are going to finish nearly as strongly as I first thought.

Under the sink water filtration system. We spent maybe $300 on ours and couldn't be happier. Clear, clean tasting water where before it was sketchy at best (farm country) and no more need to fill up the Brita pitcher every single day. Took maybe an hour to set up.

Where do you get your information/recommendations about upcoming books? (lemmy.world)
 

It'd be nice to start a thread that has a lot of info for people who are looking for reviews or recommendations.

For instance, https://sff180.com/ does a solid job, particularly with their youtube channel, of keeping me informed about books that are coming out. Where do you go for your info?
