Just starting the Netflix adaptation of The Thursday Murder Club, and can I just say, septuagenarian or no, Pierce Brosnan could still get it any day of the week—and thrice on Thursday.

Do yourself a favor and watch this isiZulu-language cover of Bohemian Rhapsody by the Ndlovu Youth Choir. It is endlessly creative and beautiful. #africa #africanmusic

I’d love to see Matthew Mercer as Harry. He’s exactly whom I picture when I read the book. but i feel like it would be an expensive show to produce, so I’m not holding my breath. 😔

a photo of voice actor Matthew Mercer sitting on a wooden stool. his shoulder-length brown hair is parted in the middle. he’s wearing a long-sleeved charcoal shirt and black pants with a white stripe down the side. he has various black bracelets on both wrists.

Finished #JimButcher’s upcoming 18th book in the #DresdenFiles series, “Twelve Months” (drops in January in the US). What a ride! It definitely makes up for the 5 years since the last book. #booksky #urbanfantasy

The cover of the upcoming fantasy novel Twelve Months by Jim Butcher. It shows the wizard Harry Dresden in his signature black duster, black t-shirt, and wide-brimmed hat. He’s wearing a glowing pentacle necklace and holding his wooden staff. He’s standing in front of a glowing magic circle inscribed with runes and sigils. The center has a mostly obscured infinity symbol. On either side of him are lots of green crystals from his island Demonreach. Jim Butcher is written in large letters above Harry’s head. It says Twelve Months beneath him, and under that in very small letters is “A Novel of the Dresden Files.”

#authors #booksky 💙 📚The nightmare continues: - it’s been reported that gift shops at national parks could soon remove books on slavery, the Civil War and native Americans because of a directive from the Interior Department.

Starting S2 of #MyLifeWithTheWalterBoys. I know everyone’s either Team Noah LaLonde or Ashby Gentry, but what about Johnny Link?! The eldest Walter Boy is so hot! (Although, 2.5 episodes in, it seems like the character is no longer hard of hearing…? If true, that’s a bummer for representation.)

a photo of actor Johnny Link. he has short, dark hair, blue eyes, fair skin, no facial hair. he’s wearing a tan t-shirt under a black jacket. he’s in front of a brownish green background.

Is it true that Bluesky is suspending accounts that wish ill upon that hateful piece of transphobic shit, JK Rowling? I don’t believe in hell, but if it did exist, I hope she dies a slow and agonizing death and then burns for a million eternities. #translivesmatter #rowlingslifedoesnt

Here’s a use for generative AI I can be down for: swapping out problematic actors in movies and shows. Probably wouldn’t work for the main star, but in ensemble? That way, I can boycott a r*pist or Zio but still be able to see the other people in the movie.

I was a good little citizen today and brought years’ worth of e-waste to one of the LA City recycling centers. Unfortunately I forgot to bring my tub of dead batteries so I’ll have to go back. But still. I did my civic doody.

I have one chapter left of Eric Schnall’s novel “I Make Envy on Your Disco,” and I can’t bring myself to finish it. I have loved every second of this book, and I don’t want it to end! Nostalgic, wistful, exhilarating, sexy, tender all at once. Ein fantastischer Roman! #booksky

The cover of Eric Schnall’s novel I Make Envy on Your Disco is a vibrant red-orange background with the title in mustard yellow in a stack, one word per line. The O in Disco is a white and yellow disco ball superimposed over the silhouette of the Fernsehturm (aka the Berlin TV Tower).

Diddy’s atty Marc Agnifilo in his closing: “I don’t know what Jane is doing today, but she’s doing it in a house [Diddy]’s paying for.”

Listen, girls. If a man pays for things, he can do what he wants.

Sample fee schedule: Buys you a drink? He gets a bj. Dinner? Sex. New purse? He can beat you.

If you have to tell people you’re an alpha, you’re not one. And if you concern yourself with becoming one, you won’t.

The Trump Administration’s cruelty is just boundless. What purpose does it serve to doom a 4-year-old girl to death?

The big red maple leaf floating over Canada with all the arrows coming out of it is a big clue, though.

Finally starting “Nobody Wants This.”
1. Adam Brody is still as hot now as he was in Gilmore Girls.
2. Veronica Mars’ sister is irritating.
3. I love that most of the show takes place in Northeast LA so I recognize the exterior shots.
4. The script needs more Yiddish.
5. Adam Brody. Hot. So hot.

I’m bummed that Rachel Maddow is going back to just one show a week soon. She’s my favorite podcast to listen to every day. Even worse that Jen Psaki will be in her time slot. Ick.

How many heads does the head keeper keep? And what does she do with the bodies? Is that lion chewing on a humerus? That’s not funny at all.
