Composer Austin Wintory was once in talks to make music for Mass Effect 5, and now that EA has shuttered BioWare and canceled the game, he's released his drafts online. https://bit.ly/4evMujI
These last 2 Dream games have suffered from players not stepping up and imposing their will. I want to be behind Rhyne Howard all the way because she should be able to take over, but she hasn't. Really gotta question the Dream's will to win when stars can't pick up the team and carry.
There are certain players in the league who decide that's it, I'm winning this game. You can see the killer instinct snap into place. I want this for the Dream real bad.
So this happened today

Just FYI 'cause she's not on social media, Jennifer is kind of stunned by this. We're big fans of the N.K. here.
Edit: obvs, I'm not speaking for Hale here, who is awesome but I don't live with her.
Genuinely I don't know that it comes across to people who haven't been here to watch how almost unbelievable this was, just people taking something that looked impossible and dragging it kicking and screaming all the way to inevitability.

Turns out I came by my sports devotion honestly. My ma might have Parkinson's and possibly the beginnings of dementia but what she will not do is miss a single race on Sunday.
I just called her to check in and she was like "the race is on" okay my bad, talk later
I haven’t slept a full night in three weeks ahead of the polls opening in Brazil today. I might be shouting into a void here, but if you can spare a few seconds to send good energy towards our elections today and for the largest country in South America to beat fascism, please do so. 🇧🇷
i do love the song, it has a great sneaky modulation. i just never noticed the chord structure because i was pretty young when i first heard it and i didn't know how to analyze harmony

i have learned in my romance reading that i do not want a partner who will support me no matter what. i want a partner who will call me the fuck out when i am wrong and walk away until i apologize. i'm going to be spending part of today yelling at this book, in other words.
vaguely: LET HER GO. LEAVE HER. the fine line she wants you to walk is a goddamned zigzag. that fine line is more crooked than my stitches. why are you like this. love is an AFFLICTION
Google was really trying to hide its water use figures, to the degree that it got the council to try to keep its water use figures secret. The community finally got the actual numbers and found out Google was using 29 percent of the water in the community.

I do not have a Prime or anything, so as of right now, I do not pay to watch the MenBA (I do still sometimes make my kid stand in that one spot in the living room so the antenna will work right). This might change if League Pass is decent.
Dressmaker is very fun AND YET it manages to capture the annoyance and aggravation that is setting sleeves. If I'm getting pissed off at the game I might as well just go sew and get a garment out of it!
Deeply, deeply frustrating game by the Dream today. No surprise the Valks were gonna dig deep & throw everything they had to avoid going home down 3-1, but Atlanta just was so uncharacteristically sloppy for too many long stretches. Dream largely beat themselves. #dream#valkyries#wnba#wnbafinals
Valks executed their game the way they wanted to - held Angel to single digits, got turnovers and converted, got Gabby and Tip and VB going, and STILL the Dream were only down 5. It's ATL's series to win. See y'all in Ballhalla. ATL HOE
Angel Reese is not gonna have two bad games in a row. Valks defense will eventually crack and the Dream will be able to rim run and utilize the short roll.
Mental game is shaky for the Dream rn. Gotta get two consecutive buckets to settle down and keep the Valks from collapsing into the paint (a taste of our own medicine from last game, honestly)
🚨NEW STORY🚨
Farmer Jamie Davis is closing the gap as he bids to be Louisiana’s first Black U.S. Senator since Reconstruction, leaving Julia Letlow without the sure victory Republicans had hoped for.
"This is not going to be a slam dunk," a pollster warns.
thelensnola.org/2026/10/23/j...
🚨🚨🚨
Just got info from the Jamie Davis (Louisiana US Dem candidate) campaign that a poll taken from 9/17 to 9/19 shows he's within 4 points of US Rep. Julia Letlow (the R senate candidate) in the Louisiana US senate race.
Of note, Letlow's name recognition is double that of Davis. (82% vs. 41%)
half joking but there are romantasy authors doing new and exciting things all the time but they're not jimmy patterson so i guess *makes nyc pffft noise*
building myself a fake pro women's bball league with 16 teams in it and am struggling mightily to keep from naming the new york city team the new york minutes. if i'm extra unserious, the new york bagels. the new york slices.
to the person on tumblr who wrote in the tags that bioware didn't invent body horror: I know they didn't! And to the other person who said maybe it was my personal intro to body horror, no, that was Neon Genesis Evangelion!
it was the broodmothers that made me go feral and realize that i could put my personal body horror into what i write. and then i wrote a (trunked) horror about a teenager in an ecofash dystopia forced to carry multiples in a pregnancy after being shot up with a chemical called royal jelly
like, not twins or triplets but septuplets, octuplets. i'd have never gone for broke without seeing the sickos (positive) that gave us the broodmothers.
