Yo, Webcrims updater, where's Vitaliy Konoplyov's case? Stop deleting things, it's very uncool. I'm surprised nobody's sued yet.

He was found.

That's what it said. Whether this is new information or a mistake, I couldn't tell you.

I got an alert saying he was last seen on Laburnum Avenue in Queens.

What book?

The Matrix

The problem was that it was sold to a foreign company. This is an American company.

Anoles too. So cute and so invasive.

Redditors talk about approximately four books. That doesn't make all others "hidden."

The first book has 15k ratings, the last one before the hiatus, over 1,000.

Body Surfing by Dale Peck is to Buffy as The Magicians is to Harry Potter. 144 ratings.

My Ride With Gus by Charles Carillo is short, funny, and surprisingly touching. 265 ratings.

The Names of the Dead by Stewart O'Nan. Beautifully written book about a Vietnam vet. 273 ratings.

>Is there a book/author that you see on recommendations (be it on TikTok, Reddit, Goodreads, etc) which immediately makes you want to skip the entire list?

No. There is nobody in the world whose taste in books matches up with mine 100%, so any list of sufficient length is bound to have some stinkers. As long as the genre/topic interests me, there are likely to be some winners too.

I thought they were awful and was on the verge of permanently giving up on his books, but The Judge's List (sequel to The Whistler) wasn't bad so I'm giving him another chance.

It's on my to-read list, but I don't have high hopes. Grisham's last good book was The Racketeer, published in 2012.

The Omega Canyon by Dan Simmons was slated to be released in 2017 but it keeps getting pushed off. I consider it canceled and will take a miracle for it to ever come out.

Clive Barker claimed he was going to finish the Abarat series, but he won't.

Okay? Nothing to do with him. There's almost nobody in the northern hemisphere who isn't currently benefiting from their [literal or political] ancestors' colonialism and there's not a whole lot any of us can do about it.

I was an adult when he was mayor and think he was pretty good. Most of our problems today are due to Michael Bloomberg's policies who was an even autocrat than Trump. The law said term limits, so he said, I'll just change the law for myself.

She appears to be from NJ.

The guy who caused that horrible crash in Bensonhurst was given Bond $1,000,000 Cash $250,000, so far not paid.

The paparazzi hound them when they're just trying to live their lives. Having you seen the way the paps treated Britney Spears? It should be illegal. Watch the way they surrounded her car:

Because royalty is romantic, like something out of a fairy tale.

I read Spare, and assuming it wasn't a lie from beginning to end, I did gain sympathy for Harry that I didn't have before. He lost his mother when he was 12, he grew up in the public eye, his family is dysfunctional, he was having trouble coping but nobody suggested that he get therapy until he was 30.

When he talks about wanting privacy, he means from the paparazzi and I think that's fair enough.

Thankfully it was bought by an American, not a foreign company.

Colorado has the highest per capita mass shootings since Columbine.

The altitude makes people insane. Literally. High altitude can impair cognition and increase symptoms of mental illness.

Make Colorado wild again.

They don't want to be clear because the actual facts aren't nearly as bad as they're trying to make them sound.

I found what I cited above. As you can see from the chart, "arrested and not incarcerated" and "incarcerated 6 months or less" had nearly identical employment rates.

You didn't read that correctly, but it's not your fault, they deliberately wrote it in a confusing way.

They interviewed 1,500 people and 500 were not employed in the first place.

510 people out of 1,000 reported "issues" with their job. Among those issues, 27% reported being fired. That means 138 people reported being fired out of 1,000, which is 14% of employed arrestees. Which means 86% did not lose their jobs.

That 20/35% is likelihood of losing their job, not the percent of people who did lose their job.
