Bruce and the E Street Band returned to Saturday Night Live on this day in 2015. Their performance of “The Ties That Bind” lit up both stage and screen, and the night closed on a festive note as Paul McCartney joined in for “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town” — a holiday encore for the ages.

I interviewed Rob Reiner as one of the bonuses for the @criterion.bsky.social BluRay of SPINAL TAP. We talked for an hour about the movie and his career and then they shut off the cameras and we talked about movies for another hour. A delightful, unhurried genius.

So saddened to learn of what has happened to Rob Reiner and his wife.
How tragic.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words:

“Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.”

That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

Gesticulates with hands, head slightly askew, mouth puckered-up like a cat's asshole: "Is he dead? I don't know. Is there a way of, maybe, injecting him with bleach that could help? A lot of people say to me--they're coming up and saying, 'Sir, why not the bleach?'"

Tor Nightfire does Stephen Graham Jones readers a solid, releasing a freshly designed edition of his novella NIGHT OF THE MANNEQUINS on Feb 24! The trouble starts where I suspect a lot of @sgj.bsky.social's best trouble does: at the movies🍿 Preorder now! bookshop.org/p/books/nigh...

So close to being done* with this current book, HER TURN NOW.

My 20th book!

I've written about so much horrible shit, I think it's time to write that cosy small-town romance I've been circling for years.
Question is whether to use a pen name...

*are they ever truly done?

I know he's my kid, so take it with a grain of salt if you wanna, but KING SORROW is one of the best terror tomes I've ever read. It's the GONE WITH THE WIND of horror! 🎃

Not forgetting the excellent DOCTOR SLEEP (Netflix in the US).

While I'm here, I'd love a sequel to the novel so that we can find out what Abra is up to...

I've never taken so long in revising a novel as I have with this one. Nearly 20 books in, I guess I'm finally maturing as a writer LOL.
