Today’s #TodaysBestBookCover is a book cover— from a crumbling 1960s nonfiction classic

Your earworm of the day is this sprightly quartet from Eugène Godecharle (1742-1798) of Brussels. Music teacher at Church of St. Géry, guest musician to the court chapel from 1770, but not accepted as 1st violinist until 1794 🤷🏻‍♀️. #ClassicalMusic 🎻 Quartetto II in F Major. I. Allegro ma non troppo.

Cold equations wait When summers change to winters Yours is no escape #scifaikusaturday

I've entered my YA novel, Starkinder, into the Libraro Prize 2026. It's fun for everyone and follows the story of a young girl battling her way across different planets to reclaim her throne. If you can spare a like I'd be most grateful 🙏. #writingcommunity #writesky app.libraro.com/manuscript/d...

"But once as an eider-duck homeward I came Thou didst lie 'neath a rock, with thy rifle didst aim; In my breast thou didst strike me; the blood thou dost see Is the mark that I bear, oh! beloved one, of thee." Jonas Lie. Weird Tales from Northern Seas #wyrdwednesday www.amazon.com/Weird-Tales-...

Offered for consideration for #TheGreyList: QUEEN OF THE SKY When Nazis invade, young Ukrainian flier Lilya Litvyak battles not only the Luftwaffe but also the sexism and bureaucracy of the Soviet system to become history's highest scoring female ace. Then is forgotten. Until now. #scriptsky

I like the Kyle Long and Pete Prisco Superbowl Comedy Hour on YouTube *wish it was a full hour!

BOOK Not enough how-to books are written We need one on how to grow giant sequoias the size of bonsai and pan for gold successfully in the bathtub or how to be like the electron both wave and particle at once Most of all how to figure it all out on your own no book or guru to tell you what to do

Does the New Yorker cartoon editor have a weekly, like quota, for say…10% of jokes he selects he doesn’t even get/understand them HIMSELF?
