Book review #30 for 2024 is Collin Dexter's The Riddle of the Third Mile. This time Morse and Lewis face the task of identifying a severely mutilated corpse. Their journey takes them into the lives of men and women with much to hide. The plot was interesting and entertaining, but I found the end uneven, convoluted even. ☕☕☕ cup review. #books#bookreview#fiction#collindexter@bookstodon@books@bookstodon
Credit to /u/Abysswatcherbel for making the chart for reddit karma and /u/Nooble5 for the Anime Trending chart.
Date a Live tops 2/3 charts this week. An interesting tidbit this week is that Blue Archive is in the top 10 on the AT chart, but is down at #30 on both the AC and reddit charts. Just thought it was interesting that it landed at exactly the same rank on both of those.
In general, having compared these charts for a couple weeks now, there are pretty big differences between them. In general, the reddit chart is a lot less volatile compared to the other two, with shows not moving all that much week to week. MHA showing up on next week’s charts might shake things up though.

I can't believe it's already been 30 weeks of Fujiwara Fridays! That means I've been on here for almost a year, sharing my love for Chika with everyone :ChikaHappy: it's been a great time and I can't wait to share even more!
This picture is so beautiful. The artist did amazing work on it and it really showcases how gorgeous she truly is. I love her so much, with all of my heart.
Vor fast exakt einer Sarosperiode saß ich gerade am Strand und hab mich auf die 29. Finsternis vom 139. Zyklus gefreut. https://www.fotowald.de/thumbnails-11.html
Jetzt freu ich mich auf die Bilder von #30 ;-)
1/4 "Barbarians" by Jacek Markusiewicz impresses me like no other recent work of #GenerativeArt has.
The images of majestic mountain slopes and neatly arranged fields – with occasional buildings strewn in between them – at first feel strangely detached and bland, thanks to a distant, aerial point of view and bleached, bright colours. Yet the way the landscapes are unexpectedly interrupted by smooth, deep, geometrical gashes appears alien and out of place.
3/4 The title implies a hierarchy of cultural development; in the description, Markusiewicz explains how the concept of barbarism always derogatorily refers to "the other". He leaves open who the barbarians are in the context of these images, however.
Are they the people living in the tiny buildings between the invasive structures? Or are the structures the signs of a barbaric intrusion into a peaceful civilization living there? What other interpretations could there be for us?
Eating animals is doing so much harm on a personal and global scale, yet people mostly choose to ignore it. So we get louder to confront your cognitive dissonance. I know it is annoying to you, I was annoyed too. But it’s necessary and it’s working. We’re not a cult, quite the opposite: Vegans act according to scientific facts. Do you want to have a heart attack? No. Do you like torturing animals? No! Do want to wreck our planet to the point our children won’t be able to live on it anymore? If course not. Veganism is not the only answer to all this, but no solution will suffice without us stopping to abuse animals. Think about that when you’re out in the supermarket next time. It feels good to actually live up to you ethical values.
Also, #7 and #30, bingo!
