I've enjoyed the books, but they really seem that they need an aggressive editor. Being long for the sake of being long just doesn't work.

I really enjoyed Name of the Wind until about 3/4 of the way through and I sat back and though: Orphan kid, goes to magic school, has male and female friend classmates, one professor seems to not like him....holy shit, I'm reading a reimagining of fucking Harry Potter.

It’s such an uncomfortable truth!
Some might even call it an Inconvenient Truth!
Two I have to mention
The first book of Anthony Ryan's Raven's Shadow trilogy, Blood Song, is one of my favorite fantasy books. I just really liked it. The second book was OK, the third was an absolute train wreck. I would have preferred it to be unfinished. Huge disappointment for me.
The Lightbringer series by Brent weeks started off strong. The Black Prism was great in the magic system seemed unique. Second book was OK, good enough I was looking forward just enough to finish the trilogy. Then the third book didn't finish, so I figured he just stretched out the series to milk a few more dollars from the idea. Then the fourth was similar. I couldn't bring myself to care about the next book. Big disappointment.
HONORABLE MENTION: WoT. Made it to book 6 or 7 both times I've tried to read through them. Then the characters, the writing, everything, just starts to piss me off.
It's a weird rule, but of course this is the internet. Nobody said you had to tell the truth. Take it from me, living in Chagos.
Then came Ronald Reagan and the dark times.
That about sums up the situation.
I configured the newsboat
rss reader for my youtube subscriptions, but you may want to configure another reader that allows you to download/watch videos. An alternative to @[email protected]'s javascript code, you can go onto the homepage of a youtube channel, open up the page source and search for "rssurl". That will give you the rss feed for the channel.
A lot of readers can do this automatically. It really is nice to watch videos without any of the suggestions or ads. Also, if you use mpv
to watch the videos, you can install a sponsorblock script that does away with the paid promotions in the video.
The Republican party has led the initial charge, with a series of claims about extraterrestrial life that, until recently, would have been seen as career-ending.
LOL, more distraction from one party's inability to do their freaking job. It's funny that 1) alien visitors cross unfathomable distances using what must be technology far, far, in advance of anything we have, yet "crash" and 2) These "crashes" only happen in the US, or the US quickly swoops in to take all evidence of this from foreign countries.
tl;dr Americans are so self-centered and narcissistic it's painful at times.
Bisping is such a homer. Put any UK fighter in the discussion and he just starts gushing.

I would love to see him make the move. Anything that weakens the UFC's power is a good thing.
