I listened to the first six audiobooks, and Michael Kramer and Kate Reading's narration really did a lot to keep me interested. I know exactly what the guy is saying in the video, because I hated them, but I also loved them. I didn't continue listening because it was too much of a commitment and I wanted to listen to other things, so I didn't survive that big mid-series slump.

It's incredible how the worldbuilding in WoT can be at the same time fascinating and yet incredibly frustrating and stupid. The gender essentialism, the overly detailed bloodlines, geography and cultural norms, it's all very hard to take in but it also paints an oddly compelling image of a very lived-in world. I hate it, and I enjoy it because it's incredibly boring but fun at the same time.

And yes, the TV show is absolute garbage, despite the fact that Rosamund Pike as Moiraine and Zoe Robins as Nynaeve were absolutely perfect for their roles.

Trump has grammar, Biden has gender, I wonder who's bringing prepositions to the table next

I have it from reliable sources that Rinox's plan also has a second phase which will turn Palestine into an economic powerhouse, and here it is in its entirety: "become like a powerful nation or something like that idk"

holy crap what a statesman

wow, give this person a Nobel peace prize, right now! how could we have been so stupid? the answer was there all along! so stupid that nobody has ever tried a two state solution, and that all this time we hadn't even considered the "simply live and let live" solution

I know this is fake because it's his burger that gets kissed, and it's supposed to be a pledge of fealty performed by his staffers.

It's amazing to see how quickly these ghouls latch on to shiny new racist shit, especially when it allows them to make excuses for greed, incompetence and malfeasance. It's great for them to be able to use a vague but socially acceptable term like "woke" or "DEI" when what they really want to do is directly blame minorities for their own mistakes and bad intentions. It's a new and innovative form of I'm not a racist, but...

Gee whiz, mister! You're saying that when I grow up I get to be vamped all the time? Wow!

It's totally fine, Matty! You're mostly known for your insightful writing and soothing voice, rather than your ravishing looks. It's unlikely that you or your exquisite blog will be recognized at the trampoline park. That is a shame, however, because more people should know who you are. Perhaps a billion people in the USA alone, who knows!
