Audiobooks make stories available to people who are driving, working, visually impaired, dyslexic, exhausted, or who take in spoken information better. Calling them “not real readers” doesn’t protect literature. It turns enjoying books into a purity contest.

I feel dumb a lot of the time when I admit I read something via audiobook, but I really shouldn’t. My attention span is shit so I usually get sidetracked when I try to sit down and crack a book. I do love my Kindle, and I’ve been reading a lot on it lately, but I’ve got a backlog on Libro I need to tend to.

Traffic lights that do not service traffic due to non-detection may not meet the federal legal definition adopted by most states for a traffic control signal, which is any device “by which traffic is alternately directed to stop and permitted to proceed”.

Did not know this was a thing. The abomination of a stoplight that leads to my street does this sometimes. I’m running the fucker the next time it misses my little car.

I recently got shared a post from a friend about this blogger revealing they were the mastermind behind some shitpost ragebait blog that a collective 5ish people gave a fuck about (didn’t stop him from thinking he’s “talk of the town”), hell I hadn’t even heard of this blog before. But golly gee does this yutz want you to know it was him all along like some unaired Scooby-Doo villain.

I won’t post the actual blog either, but I’m 100% sure I just came across this same person on Bear Blog lmao. Big this guy energy at 0:32.

In the ’90s, I used — and … in HTML to produce em dashes and ellipses, respectively. In the early 2000s, I happened upon the Alt + keypad shortcuts for entering all sorts of characters in Windows.

I love how easy it is to type an em dash and ellipses on an iPhone keyboard. You could even just set a text replacement rule for two hyphens or three periods. I did that for the interrobang — when I type an exclamation point and a question mark it bangs out one of these bad boys ‽

“The decision was made with the safety of fans, staff and everyone involved in the shows as the top priority. Refunds are available now at the point of purchase. Ticketholders who purchased through Ticketmaster will be automatically refunded.”

You can’t make this stuff up lol imagine if he simply would’ve had a spine. The outcome would’ve been the same either way, but at least his reputation would still be intact.

Just realized I never paused my Libro.fm subscription when I thought I did, so now I have nine credits sitting in my account. I guess I should find a few audiobooks to listen to.

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. I’m not sweating 24/7, the bugs are going away and, most importantly, it’s spooky season. This site gives you a cool visual timeline of the changing colors across North America this time of year.

However, the winning bid came from the online betting company BetBolt. The self-described ‘Crypto Casino‘ reportedly paid over a million pounds for the right to name the content creator’s baby, and thus, the child was named BetBolt, according to the video.

This has got to be rage bait. Right? RIGHT‽ That poor kid.

As the largest contingent of the LGBTQ+ umbrella, bisexuals have led the charge in the reported growth of the queer and trans population in the United States. In fact, the latest Gallup polling from 2025 found that the U.S. LGBTQ+ population has doubled since it was first recorded in 2012, with bisexuals now accounting for 58.6% of the now 9% of U.S. adults that identify across the alphabet spectrum. This means that roughly a whopping 5.3% of all U.S. adults are openly bisexual, making bisexuals more common than redheads.

But those hours and talks and bus rides really showed me who Chad was. A fighter. A champion of joy. “Joy” sounds weird but that’s what Chad was. Fucking. Joyous. He was the guy who sincerely smiled and laughed and loved to see and meet new people. And listen to music. Joy. Whatever negative thing was going on, Chad was going to say fuck it. And fight it. And face the world and celebrate.

RIP Chad. Will definitely be rocking out to some NFG tonight, starting with the Sticks and Stones record. Fuck cancer ☹️
