President Joe Biden’s memoir costs FORTY TWO AMERICAN DOLLARS. ARE YOU SERIOUS. I would have preferred 46, at least there’s a wink in that. FORTY TWO, though.

Some years it just feels like a certain team has been kissed by fate, they just can’t lose. This year the Knicks are that team. There’s signs everywhere if you look for them

What is the term for the title-specific heads-up booksellers text each other when a book’s DRC goes up on Edelweiss? If there isn’t one, there should be. This musing brought to you (okay, to me) by @feegrowsinbk.bsky.social sounding the New Kate Atkinson alarm.

Best thing abt the first Monday in May is the overlap btw the Pulitzers and the Met Gala. At least 1 person (usually) finds out that they won a Pulitzer while prepping for the gala (Cole Escala last year). If J Bezos takes this from me I will never forgive him. He’s taken so much already

If you watch Grey’s Anatomy with cc on you can enjoy one of my favorite acts of microfeminism: none of the doctors they page in the background have traditionally masculine first names. Everyone they page could easily, arguably be a woman ♥️ I love you, Shonda

I complain every year that no one makes my life easier by putting the full NYT top 100 books into one catalog/ grid, figured out this year that I could just… do it myself. So here it is: www.edelweiss.plus?catalogID=53...

Edelweiss+

Edelweiss, by Above the Treeline, is the book industry’s platform to sell, discover, and order new titles.

Am buying from a spring catalog where one title had “Bestselling Comps” as its FIRST key selling point in the markup notes. You picked the comps! And then said hey look how bestselling these comps are! Anyone could do this for any book! There is a reason no one does!

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull” First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided. With me so far? 1/x

This is the very first appearance of Dr. Teeth, on March 18, 1975, promoting the upcoming MUPPET SHOW: SEX & VIOLENCE special. It’s remarkable to see how comfortable Jim Henson was both performing & improvising this brand new character, & just how fully-formed he already was...
