Et tu, BBC? Why is it so hard for native English speakers to conjugate monosyllabic verbs correctly?

Dear Publishers, Please stop with this silly trend of black book covers with floral/decorative side borders and Ye Fancy Olde Ice Cream Shoppe title font. You're flooding the market with books that look identical. You really do have a choice to be original; not every bandwagon is worth jumping on.

IMO this image of Rod Serling giving it to you straight should replace the tired & overworked Rockwell "Freedom of Speech" cliché for random pronouncements. If anything, our current timeline is much more like a Twilight Zone script, even if it's one Rod would've rejected for being too on the nose. 🎯

🎧 📚 Continuing my important cultural work of composing title scores for old books. 😏 (Yeah, I know this was also a movie... it ain't the same music.) P.S. Very belated happy birthday Vincent Price. #bookscoring #gothichorror #ronaldbassett #vincentprice #witchfindergeneral #composer #artsoundtrack

Happy birthday to the wonderful Colleen Dewhurst (June 3, 1924–August 22, 1991). Here she is with the equally wonderful Roscoe Lee Browne in The Cowboys (1972).

"I don’t say she murdered him, Lavinia. I merely observe that no man goes from robust to commemorative quite that quickly without assistance." "And did you notice the widow wore navy?" "At breakfast!" "Exactly, Eudora. A woman in navy before noon is either bereaved or plotting unpleasantness."

As a person who writes and loves words, I'm tired of people misusing the word factoid. Contrary to popular notion, it doesn't mean a small or trivial fact; it means something that resembles a fact but isn't one (humanoid is to human what factoid is to fact). Fun fact: Norman Mailer coined the term.

Agatha Christie needed me to be her editor. Mishaps from The Moving Finger: (1) You’ve got to take life slowly and easily, the tempo is marked Legato. (2) As we were finishing, two excited little boys rushed in and were introduced, Mrs. Symmington beaming with maternal pride, as was their father.

I wish there were a way to filter out certain images from my feed. It's getting really irritating to see Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" used every fifth post for the most picayune nonsense. Can people please try to be just a little more original?

Oh, the joy and agony of REVISION! 😩 The thrill of deadheading needless words and watching the sentence bloom; the misery of tunneling for them without collapsing the whole mine. And the dogged hunt for the single strong word to replace ten weak ones. To have revised is bliss. To revise is hell.

R.I.P. Robert Duvall (1931–2026). I found this on Wikipedia: > Mareen Duvall (1625–1694) was a French Huguenot and an early American settler... His notable descendants include Harry S. Truman, Barack Obama, Dick Cheney, Wallis Simpson, Warren Buffett, and Robert Duvall. < How weird is that??? 😮

Petition to verb Mercator (named for Gerardus Mercator): to mercate = to distort scale or importance until the ignorant nod. E.g., “That map mercates Greenland.” “Those stats have been subject to mercation.” “My résumé? Lightly mercated.” Etc.

Someone's house, Los Angeles. I feel certain that somewhere between palm trees and starlight, Marlene Dietrich is about to glide through those doors in liquid satin and pause just long enough to accept applause before vanishing into a waiting Mercedes Cabriolet. (Photo courtesy Tom Biddison.)

I'd really love to see the letter that prompted this response from Shirley Jackson. 🤣

A letter from Shirley Jackson which says: "Dear Mrs. White, If you don't like my peaches, don't shake my tree." This is a near-verbatim quote from "Sitting On Top of the World", a country blues song written by Walter Vinson and Lonnie Chatmon (1930).

Happy 122nd to Cornell Woolrich, shadowy godfather of noir. From The Bride Wore Black to Black Angel to Black Alibi, his “black” novels evoke a world where dread seeps through every doorway and cast a spell that crime fiction never escaped. His influence still coils through the genre like smoke. 🖤
