Republicans (if any are here), you DO realize by now, that if you continue to elect Republicans, the nation will go into a Depression, similar if not greater than the one in 1929. We really shouldn't have to do this every hundred years because of ultra rich people.

Do you know what getting old is like? It's looking at the skin on your arms and saying to yourself, "Now what the hell is that?" like every week.

Hey @tcmtv.bsky.social I know you want to promote films with Sidney Poitier, but if they have Bill Cosby in it, it isn't appropriate to show it. Get real!

Recommendation to California voters: your voter pamphlets should be arriving. There are a LOT of propositions on the ballot. Look at who is for it, and who is against. If the ACLU and Bernie Sanders is FOR it, vote for it. If they are against (and there are some doozies) vote AGAINST.

Why are we still putting things in plastic? Shampoo, sour cream, detergent & dish soap, dishwasher pods... They need to be in recyclable cartons, like milk. And why isn't shampoo, detergent, and such in large containers with spigots in grocery stores to dispense into reusable cartons?

Gee, what could possibly go wrong? Well, nuance and mistranslations that screw up the meaning. And JOBS, of course. Seems like you'd still have to hire someone to read it over to make sure it's all correct... www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

I've been getting a flurry of fake AI emails lately wanting me to join their book clubs, and even a fake film producer. All AI sound the same. Real people inviting me to speak to bookclubs don't use my personal email and they don't summarize my book where I already know the plot...cuz I wrote it.

Making pot roast for our upcoming vacation in Mammoth. Will bag it and freeze it for boiling-in-the bag suppers. Should be just the thing for those cold evenings in the high sierras. Can't wait!
Browning meat on the stove top. And now for adding onions.Now we add the beef broth, wine, garlic, and herbs. Let it simmer and when it comes up, in the oven it goes for the next two hours. Next will be the carrots, celery, and potatoes. When it's ready for freezing, I will add frozen corn, and fresh cut string beans.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

I'm writing a character I really like...but I came to the conclusion that they've got to die to become the impetus of the mystery. And that one hurts a bit. But this is what I love about NOT outlining, is the surprise, & suddenly laying out the whole rest of the story. #writersky #mysterywriting

As long as you ignore their names, Tommy and Tuppence, they're very likeable and fine in their own updated mysteries. They could have done the 1920s original, but... (Fun fact. When I try to search "Tommy and Tuppence", the interwebs substitute "Tommy and Tupperware". A suburban mystery, I suppose.
