- Reviewing The Burning Library, by the terrific @gillymacmillan.bsky.social, for @ala-booklist.bsky.social. If you've never read her, you've been missing out.
- Aw, man. That's terrible news.
- One of my absolute favourites, RIP to a legend www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
- My goodness Ann Coulter is stupid.
- You know how sometimes you'll take an unofficial day off at work by doing mostly nothing but every once in a while doing a little something so it looks like you're working? I feel that's what the Leafs are doing tonight.
- I knew it!
- Let's hope whoever makes All the Sinners Bleed does this wonderful novel and its author proud.
- People have names?
- Ditto
- Hey, @kiaabdullah.bsky.social has a new novel coming out. It's called What Happens in the Dark. I'm looking forward to it. You should be, too.
- So, a whistlestop tour then.
- @thr.com, I see you're on Bluesky. Wondering why your website doesn't seem to include a Bluesky link to share your articles. You could put it right there beside the link to Nazis R Us (sorry, X).
- I'm ashamed to share a first name with this fuckwad. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...
- My @ala-booklist.bsky.social review of El Dorado Drive, by @meganabbott.bsky.social, is now online:
- My @ala-booklist.bsky.social review of Pariah, by @danfesperman.bsky.social, is now online:
- I pulled an e-galley of this off Netgalley. Planning to review in a forthcoming newspaper column. Very excited.
- Rowling is an enormously, spectacularly, relentlessly awful person.
- More recognition for @deanjobb.bsky.social's A Gentleman and a Thief. Which, if you're a fan of crime nonfiction, you should most definitely read.
- Oh my goodness.
- Yes.
- Hmmm...interesting.
- No, that's not where that word comes from. www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/7-f...
- Finally have a chance to dig into Overgrowth, by @seananmcguire.bsky.social writing as Mira Grant. I am not at all surprised to find that it is excellent.
- Hellebuyk scored on himself? Was that their actual verdict after the video review?
- I mean...it's just...
- It’s especially galling that AG Pam Bondi personally wrote the memo approving the gift of the Qatari airplane. Her last job was as a lobbyist for Qatar! efile.fara.gov/docs/6415-Ex...
- Happy Mothra's Day for those who observe.
- Serious question: why isn't the entire Democratic Party screaming about this?
- Well this is a lot of fun.
- Wishing a grammatically correct birthday to @bcdreyer.social, whose Dreyer's English should be required reading for them folks what use words for a living.
- The guiding principle of my life.
- Wishing a spectacularly happy birthday to @scalzi.com, whose novels are a wonderful source of Big Thoughts and hilarity.
