I pay to join small creators' channels to support them as directly as possible, and Google takes a cut from that. If they're still going to try to force ads even on channels I directly pay for I have no issue blocking ads altogether. I also have an extension to disable shorts and recommendations, I just go there, watch specifically what I want to watch and leave.

The first one looks like a map of countries where the PM shat himself at the Engadine Maccas

No not that extreme. I don't want a bed with walls, just slightly upturned edges. More like a big dinner plate than a crib.

I was just talking about something like this with my gf last week. I want a big bed with upturned edges (but still big enough to stretch out fully on the flat part) that I can fill with extra cushions and blankets. The image in my head was a bit nicer than a giant dog bed though...

We'll end up with a live action The Muppet Movie remake only starring humans.

I've started rereading The Way of Kings and The Lies of Locke Lamora in Spanish. LLL is a bit of a struggle even remembering several parts of it word for word but TWoK is much more simply-written, it's quite encouraging getting through a few sentences at a time without needing to stop to translate something. Still working up the mental energy to start Words of Radiance, it's been hard to get into anything new lately.

On the other hand, I have a few dozen tvtropes tabs open and, like some kind of hydra, every time I close one I somehow end up with more than I had before. I don't even care about the outdated fan speculation for Monster Hunter games, but I can't stop!

I lost half a dozen times then summoned my mimic and stomped her. Probably going to get a boss revival mod and try again, it was pretty unsatisfying.

There are some weird choices in here. Skimming the list I can see a few things I've read that surprise me. Fable by Adrienne Young is just a fairly generic YA fantasy thing for example, I can't think of anything in that that would bother anyone. Victor & Nora: A Gotham Love Story is a melancholy backstory of a Batman villain, this is insane. I see a Catwoman book in there too, but it's by Sarah J Maas and everything of hers appears to have been blanket-banned. I'm assuming that was included because Harley and Ivy are in it and they're probably bi in that universe.

How were these books chosen? Was it just a ctrl+f for words they didn't like? There are some things missing that I'd have expected to see based on what I read back in high school, but I was more of a public library kid than a school library one because that's where you could find the good stuff.
