The writing on the show Shrinking is so good. The insults are like no other, and the rejoinders are especially funny.

Many moons ago, I read an article in a skiing magazine about the process their reviewers use to rate skis. I thought it was crazy that they only did one run down the mountain. They said after one run, the reviewer as an expert skier is compensating for the deficiencies in the ski. (1/2)

They say write what you know. Apparently I know a lot about teenage angst, shifters, and friendship.

@moltz.bsky.social Glad you enjoyed The Pleasure of My Company. As a HUGE Steve Martin fan, in the ‘70s, sat next to him at a tennis tourny. Told him I loved his book Cruel Shoes. He got up and moved. Sent him a couple pages of jokes in the early ‘80s and he actually used one. I’m making progress.

@jason.parkendium.com I seem to recall you're an airplane aficionado. Here's a photo that combines two of your obsessions. Saw this Alaska Air jet (B737-800 tail N565AS) in Disneyland livery while changing planes at Seattle-Tacoma Airport recently. Fun promo!

In light of the Pride & Prejudice adaptation recommendations happening after @trungles.com' brilliant read-along thread, I wanted to share this fabulous appreciation of Joe Wright's direction of the 2005 movie. It's so beautifully directed, y'all. youtu.be/mOrljLeKLVs?...

Dying at 38 of a brain tumour OTD in 1937 was one of music’s greatest tragedies. George Gershwin didn’t touch an instrument until he started piano at 10. At 20 his song Swannee sold 2m copies and he then conquered Broadway with 500 more songs. His musical achievement rocketed with his knockout 1/2

Whenever I see a character using a satellite phone indoors, it ruins the show for me. Satellite phones need line-of-sight from the phone to the satellite. The signal does not go through roofs. Seems I must see this about every week. C’mon Hollywood! Do better!

Apple AirTag in my wallet is great (it's saved me from disaster a couple of times) but it's just too thick. The bulge is starting to wear a circle visible from the outside. Found that Apple has licensed the technology and so I've been using Card 5 by Pebblebee. Looks like a credit card. So awesome!

My Los Angeles friends- If you are at all an Apple aficionado, or even if you aren't, this is an event well worth your time. David has done his research and there is so much fascinating detail about Apple that you thought you knew. I read the 600-page book twice already + the audio version. Go!
