The Binding

For as long as he can recall, Emmett has been drawn to books, even though they are strictly forbidden. Bookbinding is a sacred calling, Seredith informs her new apprentice, and he is a binder born. Under the old woman’s watchful eye, Emmett learns to handcraft the elegant leather-bound volumes. Within each one, they will capture something unique and extraordinary: a memory.

#Cross couldn't have come at a better time. Aldis Hodge is amazing and, as they say, Blackety Black 🤣 Nothing against the new heartthrob and "acceptable to white folks" actor Aaron Pierre, but it's nice to see a "big old Black man" playing this role unapologetically. 👍🏾

Just a reminder that the new #Cross series with Aldis Hodge, Isaiah Mustafa, and Juanita Jennings has aried it's entire season 1 on Amazon Prime.

One of the biggest hindrances for me with #VRGaming is accessibility.

Due to #chronicillness and #chronicpain I cannot stand for long periods of time.

A lot of games can be played sitting and adjust for that and I do have a small stool but being able to turn and spin on it is difficult and it's not comfortable.

The #RotoVR is amazingly comfortable to sit in, the back support is amazing, and the head tracking with the rotating base actually completely removes motion sickness for me.

The #RotoVR is absolutely one of the best pieces of tech I have owned in decades. Not only is it made well and builds perfectly, it just simply works right out of the box. The head tracking just fucking works. You turn your head and you spin. I used it just now to play my all time favorite #VR game #UntilYouFall and the experience was absolutely incredible and comfortable. I could look, dodge, block enemies from any direction seamlessly with absolutely zero motion sickness or lag.

Tauri has already claimed the bottom 🤣

My #RotoVR chair has arrived! It's in more than a few pieces with very minimal build instructions but it honestly doesn't need much. The parts on the floor are basically the base, feet, wheels and motor ... everything else is seat and back. My tribemate and I have almost completed the build.

I cannot express how much I'm looking forward to trying this beautiful accessibility technology. 🎉

Anger is often caused by impotence.

The desire for punishment turns into a desire for revenge, which perpetuates the futility of anger due to the continued violent collisions of hope and reality.

Aristotle affirmed that anger is "the desire to return a suffering.” But allowing passions to control the mind doesn't change the past, it warps the future.

The Onion has purchased Infowars, the infamous rightwing conspiracy theory hub helmed by Alex Jones. And no, this is not a joke.

Its plan involves turning the rightwing site into one big joke.

"This is going to be our answer to this no-guardrails world where there are no gatekeepers, and everything’s kind of insane." - Ben Collins, the chief executive of The Onion's parent company, Global Tetrahedron, told the New York Times.
