I'm so sad about the passing of Rob Reiner & his wife Michele. Not only did Mr. Reiner direct some of my favorite films, he also rallied against unfairness and inequality and was never afraid to point a finger at those in charge. That makes him a hero in my book. RIP, Rob & Michele. You were loved.

Last night on the red carpet I was asked about the best book I’ve read this year and I babbled nonsensically trying to remember the title. This always happens. I need to make a little list I carry around. The book I MEANT to say was The Bang Bang Sisters by Rio Youers.

I don't care how rare or special it is. I'm staying the fucking away from anything called a "white-knuckled wolf spider." www.bbc.com/news/article...
Rare wolf spider rediscovered on Isle of Wight after 40 years
The team that found the tiny orange-legged arachnid have named it the white-knuckled wolf spider.

NO SECOND CHANCES by Rio Youers. Drop this novel on your phone or e-reader of choice for $1.99 (for a limited time, US only). It's better for your soul and your brain than doom scrolling. It's better than Candy Crush, too.

Well this is lovely. Thank you, Lydia. :)
One of my favourite stories from the End of the World As We Know It anthology so far
Keep The Devil Down by @rioyouers.bsky.social focuses on the incredible character of Elise, a complex and complicated person who is the essence of what The Stand is about - the desperate pull between good and evil

Cool fact: @stephenking.bsky.social loved this book, and I think you will, too. NO SECOND CHANCES is only $1.99 on e-book for a limited time. For that price, it'd be a damn shame to miss out.

I've been reading THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT slowly, savoring it to keep the stories from blending together. Just got to "Wrong Fucking Place, Wrong Fucking Time" by @crobertcargill.bsky.social, and holy hell, is that a standout. Can this be a movie? I want it to be a movie.

I went to see the Waterboys at the Danforth in Toronto last Thursday. Such a great show, and Steve Earle showed up on the big screen!
