Ideally something current, which I should have specified in the original post but didn't. I want to see what the genre looks like in the present day

Ideally I'm looking for something still publishing because I'd like to see what's new in the genre, but this does sound good regardless. Thank you!

Can anyone recommend good magazines for short crime fiction? I've been reading Ellery Queen and Alfred Hitchcock but they're a little more mystery focused and I'm after something a bit more grimy.

I'm rewatching the women's ladder match from Money In The Bank 2023 and I completely forgot that Zoey Stark took a massive bump onto a horizontal ladder exactly like she did this year. How is this woman not dead. 🤼‍♂️

Not yet! It's still in post production and then they'll be submitting it to festivals

Just turned over the stems and got paid for the short film I've been scoring so I guess I can now say for real that I'm a professional film composer. Life goal unlocked.

This is the second modern western I've loved this year after reading How Much Of These Hills Is Gold by C Pam Zhang, so I guess I need to dig into what's happening in that space a little more.

Currently reading The Bullet Swallower by Elizabeth Gonzalez James and loving it. More weird magic realism generation-spanning westerns, please.

Comeback Kid are one of those bands where listening to their discography in sequence is super rewarding. Their sound has changed so much while still sounding like them, and hearing that evolution step by step across each album is great. Anyway I'm back on my Comeback Kid shit.

He usually gets shut downstairs overnight because Steph can't sleep otherwise, so he gets very excited when she's away and I let him upstairs 😅

Reading a short in an anthology and someone has used the word "marquis" in place of "marquee" not once but twice. It's very distracting.

A few people have told me that the rest of the series is much better than the first book, so I think I'll read at least the next one as well. There's definitely a lot to like in there!

Really wish it was physically possible to stay up to date on WWE and AEW and ROH at the same time but I literally do not have enough free time for that. Even cutting out NXT and Rampage that's like 12 hours of wrasslin every week, before you get to PPVs. Unpossible
