Thanks for your recent intrveiwe on SKTCHD, @robwilliams71.bsky.social. I’ve never know where to start in 2000AD. I’m halfway through A Better World now and loving it. Thank you for providing the gateway drug that will further empty my wallet.

I’m reading Elizabeth Strout’s book The Things We Never Say, and it’s just destroying me. Cannot recommend enough.

“Other Mommy” is maybe the creepiest name for a movie ever. It’s so disturbing I’m actually not sure I can handle seeing the movie.

The best moment in AVX today is Sam saying “I’m nigh invulnerable” and then screaming as the alien acid burns him. @kierongillen.bsky.social, you glorious birthday monster.

I could use a little more “screaming on the inside” to Marles…

I'm watching Bluey for the first time. The Shadowlands episode is basically Breaking Bad with animated puppies.

an animated blue dog and her friends a pink poodle and a brown chihuahua with a yellow and green hat hide in a long shadow looking scared.

I think the Loeb/Sale minis collected might be?

This week in the Wow: Miracle foods, 2026 edition. Also, the Pope canonizes the entire youth of France, and I discover a very good show about a kind of naughty puppy called Bluey.

You’re kind of blowing my mind here. Do you do these?

I’m in S5 at a point where it feels like this is popping, but I like her with her Kai.

There is no better luck on Broadway Flea Market Day than a literal blessing from Norm Lewis.

Wow! Had no idea! I’ve read 3 or 4 over the years but I think a full-on dive would be amazing.

I’ve been saying for a while, I need to do a full on Vonnegut read. Just do it all.

Jim McDermott @jimmcd.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I agree. Well written and performed, but very of the moment. Maybe the middle ep will be remembered.

Jim McDermott @jimmcd.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Oh wow. This list is amazing.

I’d love to hear some books you loved!

Also look I’m just going to say it, Breaking Bad is well-constructed garbage. The world has moved on.

I really hope someone will correct me, but it looks to me like Schitt’s Creek did not make the NYT 100 list. May the spirit of Moira Rose haunt every single person who didn’t vote for it, forever.

The inclusion of miniseries just baffles me. Three episodes of Adolescence is better than Fargo? Really?

I am going out tonight, Nor’easter be damned. Apologies to anyone unhappy with any middle-aged Flashdance moments, but I will be owning it, thanks.

Like many things at the NYT these days, I feel like that list is less “Top 100 Shows in Order of Merit” than “Top 100 Shows in Order of What Will Make You Crazy”
