What I did - and maybe this will work for you - was sign up for Goodreads and look up a bunch of books I’d read and enjoyed. I gave them cursory star ratings. Just 4-5 out of 5 for a couple that I really liked. Then I thought of some that I’d disliked, or some books I’d never even consider reading. I gave those 1 star.

Now Goodreads suggests books I find I’m actually interested in a lot of the time, and it gets better as I leave little stars of approval or reproach on the platform 🤣

Also, there are tons of people and lists to follow on there. I’ve got a ton of stuff on my Kobo that I’d never have found otherwise.

There’s a book by a guy called Jeff Long that this is veeeeeery loosely based on, and it expands on the premise to an epic scale. It’s totally bonkers.

Salitter is my answer to this one every time.

The silence. The salitter drying from the earth. The mudstained shapes of flooded cities burned to the waterline. At a crossroads a ground set with dolmen stones where the spoken bones of oracles lay moldering. No sound but the wind.

Here, also.

There’s so many more 😊 Film Cow is a mad sort of genius.

Day one: in the ghost house.

The möbius strip of bad decisions and family reunions.

My country and now every country around my country has decided they want hardcore extreme right politicians running the country. These politicians are winning on blatant misinformation and unrealistic promises.

I’m literally surrounded by morons.

Aww. Yes, it was. That ol’ spoilsport.

Aw. Can I not hire you to happen to other awful human beings? Is Alex Jones your last one?

Great episode of Knowledge Fight: incoming

That geekyinc article is the most 100% written by ChatGPT wall of text that I’ve ever encountered in the wild.

Very nicely said. Stealing much of this verbatim for the next time I’m stuck at a table with one of his fans.

Zamno-Kablamno, boet. 🫡

I can respect the commitment to the bit that it must have taken to delete criticalthinking.ini entirely from your brain, but I can’t bring myself to respect even an iota of what it’s turned you into. You broke yourself, dude.
