Reading about today's military jamboree and too many reporters can't tell the difference between "muted response" and horrified silence.

Watched the restored Phantom the Opera on TCM tonight. The colors in the costume ball scene were impressive. Hadn't seen it in years @moviessilently.bsky.social

Welp I tore my medial collateral ligament while working on the house. Man it sucks gettin old. I'm hobbling around hoping that it will get better without surgery which I can't take the time off to have. Sometimes I feel like I need a layer of bubble wrap.

That escalated quickly.... well not.... forget it.

I kinda want all escalators to stop functioning now.

oh my god lol -- Trump calls for UN workers to be arrested because his escalator didn't work yesterday

Assuming the rapture does happen today, the best show in town will be all those who were sure they'd be taken up and weren't.

People who died at 33 nobody compared to Jesus: Carol Lombard, John Belushi, Chris Farley. 3 things Jesus was not: white, Christian, american

Wayne Turmel @authorwayneturmel.bsky.social · 23d

Yup. Just like Jesus would talk

Charlie Kirk Sept 27 2024: "Just so we're clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it's only gonna get worse - unless Donald Trump wins
There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters"

I support this message. Maybe start with one of my books? Or not.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Wayne Turmel @authorwayneturmel.bsky.social · 24d

Big things are... good things though. Right?

David Green @davidgreenwriter.bsky.social · 24d

Maybe two pretty big things happening book wise next week 🤞

(No, not a book deal, sadly. But still some exciting things)

Too true 😅Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it.
Those who do study history are doomed to run around screaming "AHHHHHHHH AHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHY DON'T THESE FUCKING IDIOTS STUDY HISTORY!!!!!!!!!???

I don't know what's more embarassing, being a long-time #Clippers fan, or having Pablo Torre roast them for payroll shenanigans. It's being a Clippers fan, isn't it?

Oh lord. We are going to have to deal with the buffering thing all might, aren't we? #CaneloCrawford Darn @Netflix

What would I give to have Jack Lowden play Gil Vincente. He would be great when they make the movie of The Deserter. Anyone know how to get him to read it?
