I had people over tonight to spread the good word of Doctor Odyssey

Doctor Odyssey is the greatest show on television. This week: John Stamos plays Don Johnson’s gay younger brother who is in a trouble with Cheyenne Jackson and the cruise theme is just GAY.

Does Jeff know how much we hate him taking away votes? Makes for a way less interesting tribal council. #survivor47

Your local indie or Bookshop.org or Libro.fm are the way to go. As always, here if you need recs.
Since there are a lot of new people here: I will point out once again that Paul Singer, the billionaire who owns Barnes & Noble and Waterstones, donated $5m to a MAGA SuperPAC earlier this year, and that’s the money we know about.

If you have ESPN+ either intentionally or because of some Disney-based bundle that seemed like too good a deal to pass up, you have access to "OJ: Made in America," which is the best thing ESPN has ever produced.
