Interesting thread, & of course it's always illuminating to scan old bestseller lists with one or two familiar named at best, but I'm also seeing goofy replies listing Wodehouse, Maugham, D.H. Lawrence, Nabokov (!), and Pynchon (!?) as forgotten authors, which doesn't strike me as true at all.

Lots of important shows I still haven't seen (e.g., Deadwood, Boardwalk Empire, Hannibal), but here's the 10 TV shows of the last quarter century I've most enjoyed (a couple of these probably have as many bad episodes as good ones, but the good ones are really great).

Mike Duquette, the “gotta have it guy” @mikeduquette.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I did not know his story, either, and the depiction of who he was long before his final moments just shattered me. It costs nothing to be compassionate and I wish it felt more ample in these times

He had been rehearsing for that lobby his whole life. When Cardinal John O’Connor barred the gay Catholic group Dignity from archdiocesan churches in 1986, Judge welcomed its AIDS ministry into St. Francis of Assisi on West 31st Street, a Franciscan church outside the cardinal’s control, and he later ran the parish’s own AIDS program.

Patients with the disease were treated as lepers in those years, and he sat at their bedsides when many others would not. One dying man asked him, “Do you think God hates me?” Judge picked him up and kissed him, then rocked him in his arms without saying a word.

One thing I think about every now and then is that many of the plethora of awful zero budget straight-to-tubi movies made by amateurs who can't figure out how to coherently edit their movies simply won't exist in just a couple of decades.

Look, I loved Dolly too, and Robert Wise was a better director than Mark Robson but a worse one than Jacques Tourneur, and obviously no one should be abusive, but anytime people go on about how artists should all be very sweet boys and girls and spread nothing but joy around I get really twitchy.

& speaking of fantabulous weirdness, I am hoping you have all seen this clip of Dolly, at age 70, playing "Yakety Sax" first on the fiddle & then, on a dare from her host, on a tiny rhinestone-studded saxophone, engaging in flirty audience banter all the while: www.youtube.com/watch?v=06U-...

RIP Dolly. I’ve been listening incessantly to the cover of “After the Gold Rush” she did with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris. That the immense technical skill she had as a vocalist was possible to overlook in light of her other gifts is a testament to her achievements. youtu.be/o2XcBL6kWn8?...

Take time to remember her, but also to listen to her music. Dolly became such a towering and beloved pop culture figure in her later years just for her sheer force of personality and charm that people too often forget that she is one of the best American songwriters. Period.

Pretty sure it was some cheapo recording of a performance of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, when I was 12 or 13. No, I never had any acquaintances from school come to one of my birthday parties, why do you ask?

Hey, guys, when the librarians get pissed about the destruction of books, it’s time to put those listening ears on. Because we are very comfortable with the idea that books are tools that can be retired. What’s happening right now is not that.

RIP Dave Marsh and same here. I devoured his Springsteen and Who bios as a teen. By the time I reached college, I found that I was disagreeing with him way more often than I was nodding along. But there was real value too in how often he made me mad.
