Here is my dog, who is smaller but has similar coloring.

Highsmith right there...

Harvard Bookstore prepped for @rodman.bsky.social event later this week.

Norman Lloyd lived to be 106. Eva Marie Saint turned 102 today. The key to longevity? Being dangled over national monuments by Alfred Hitchcock.

I think a lot about Dickens naming his children after Victorian-consensus great authors and the youngest being Edward Bulwer Lytton Dickens. Ouch.

Not only have I not heard this drama, I've never heard of this book or author. Clearly, I need more friends willing to take the Threads plunge.

New B&N website needs some work. Didn't realize Criterion was publishing Theo of Golden and hockey romance.

Then there are the “Get Carter” billboards. Presumably for people in pharmaceuticals or adult entertainment seeking damages after getting thrown off a parking garage by some Cockney bastard up from the Smoke.

CT has some unhinged like this queer ish wrestling themed one. Not my picture, but I have seen in person.

I need to bring my Benny back to the store.

Someone at the main Powell’s store has good taste. Cc: @rereadingwolfe.bsky.social and @michaelswanwick.bsky.social

At the risk of being worse and insidery: That's not even the most embarrassing bit of the book's jacket copy though? Also: It's Skyhorse.

That Harlan Ellison, with his insistence on getting paid and that AIs hate humans.

I just looked at it on Wikipedia, and it also had Latin denunciation of Popish crimes until 1830, when Catholic Emancipation came through. "Popish frenzy"! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monumen...

Funny to me the AI towers over him like Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil.

Hope it is not the Difficult Second Novel! Looking forward. He also hears you’re writing a novel.

Citizen Kane, 1941, d. Orson Welles

So glad Facebook is keeping me from NSFW nudity with a blur filter.

I might have to cave in and order one.

Well, that’s tonight’s viewing sorted.

Benny got really angry at a video game polar bear and a Komodo dragon in the film Master and Commander. Real dogs provoke most ire though.

Goddard responsible for one of the all-time great newspaper corrections stories though.

My dog, looking like Scott of the Antarctic after stepping outside for two minutes.

Fair enough! Meanwhile on the East Coast....

Emerald Fennell is not David Bowie

Give them the hot tip that there are shady characters from another place just above the convenience store.

Yes. There's this whole business about how he's trying to decide on a lurid cover for some academic sexologist.
