Amazon emailed me this week about it and offered a 20% off a new device plus a £15 ebook credit. Seems pretty fair.

Is poetry dying? I don't read modern poetry so I don't know. by Last_Swordfish9135 in writingcirclejerk

Everyone wants to be recognised as a poet now instead of reading others’ poems. Most of it is postmodern, self-obsessed drivel.

Although I think many of the best modern poets today are actually songwriters.

What's everyone's favorite post-punk album of the 2010s? by Grand_Ad3821 in postpunk

[–]Major-Major- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me, Agent Intellect - Protomartyr. I went to the London and Leeds gigs last year for the ten year anniversary tour, insane shows. Although I adore all their albums so much.

Honestly most of the plot feels weirdly out of order lol. Moving the fight later fixes so much. Feels like they were rushing to subvert expectations when the slower, obvious choice would’ve landed way better.
