I watched this Joe Strummer doc on Pluto last night. (Make your own joke here.) Looks like you can watch it at this link as well. It's short but pretty good. Interviews with Mick and Topper. There were commercial breaks but each break was only 15-30 seconds long. pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

I worked at a cable company when Reds came to TV. Employees got all the pay services for free. I reckon I watched Reds a couple of times. The tune that plays when Keaton lives on the east coast beach just popped back into my head and I'm surprised that I know the words. Haven't heard it in ages.

Saw a man towing a pumpkin. Too many shapes and colours to ignore, so I asked if I could take photos. “Ignore me. Just keep towing; it’s the shape of the pumpkin in the wagon I like” I explained. He has just won first prize at the village show. - Congratulations - Thank you. I am very happy

I think it'll be pretty cool if the Brewers are in the Series.

I'm set! www.wdhn.com/reviews/br/a...

Some of you don't know of the world pre-Diane Keaton in Annie Hall. She changed everything for quirky weird girls everywhere. Outcasts no more, our personalities were actually advantageous.

QT this post with someone you wish was still alive (There really should be more Richard Lewis gifs available.)

Watched this documentary about a woman doctor who enlisted in the French military in WWI on Pioneer last night. Just 30 minutes and it zipped right along. www.pbs.org/video/dr-nel... Might be available on your local PBS streamer.

Hurray! More Mackenzie Crook TV!

I haven't promoted digital formats of my book much, focusing more on getting people to buy it through their fav bookstore. However, it's looking like that may not be possible in the near future, SO please buy the audiobook through libro.fm/audiobooks/9... or the ebook www.amazon.com/Lewis-Sincla...

Barbara Kingsolver opened the facility in Pennington Gap, Virginia in January with royalties from her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, “Demon Copperhead." The center offers support, stability and a reentry point in a region devastated by painkiller addiction. virginiamercury.com/2025/10/08/d...

Riding into Wednesday like

Random things about me: 1. I have three earlobes (or one regular and one split). This is likely all that remains of my twin. I've never been good at sharing. 2. I'm too lazy to think of any other random things, but there are at least 3 more in my profile/bio.

There is beauty in the world.

I was almost Janine, but my cousin got that instead. (Her siblings are all J names. My siblings are not alliteratively named.) We were in the same grade all through school. My names's Denise. We were frequently called Jenise and Danine, not in gest.

Good old dependable Chi-Chi's.

All roads lead to Earlston.

My mom posted this picture of a scale from her primary care clinic, which I absolutely love, being an astrophysicist. But also the messaging is great!

This story reminded me what basic human instinct is for most people.

Imperial, California is full of surprises.

Doodles are better than dog-earring. Someday they could be appreciated.

I read this for breakfast.

Well I'll be.

The arte project is watching MST3K.

I've watched The Traitors a couple of times and it sort of seems like the exact same thing for scene after scene, episode after episode. People coming up with reasons out of thin air to boot people off the show, then crying because they did it, then saying, "well, it's a game."

Neato!

Blockbuster author James Patterson is once again opening his wallet to offer holiday bonuses to booksellers. If there's one you think is great, at our store or any other indie shop in the US, nominate them! All of them--there's no limit to how many you can champion! www.bookweb.org/james-patter...

Wear extra sunscreen in Arlington.

Just listened to an interview with an agent by a person with a voice quite similar to Nate the Great's on Ted Lasso. He says "em" kind of often. Now, when I see this sort of pause word in closed captioning, it's spelled "erm." Americans say "um," by the way. Hmm... (Or should I say "hrmmm..."?)

Ain't no way anyone's telling that giant bumptious cat it can't be in the picture.

Was probably Walter Monheit® Oof!

Lucy Worsley has bangs!

If anyone enjoys reviewing theatre outside of London (or are from London but you like getting trains) do make yourself known as Im sending out review requests #journorequest

Started watching Murder Before Evensong on Acorn. Regular characters played by Amanda Redman and Tamzin Outhwaite. If you're a fan of the show New Tricks, that's kind of a big deal. www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/mur...

aoooooo!

Listened to Brian Baumgartner on the Family Trips podcast. I marvelled at how different his voice was from Kevin's on The Office. Is it weird, I wonder, for actors i.e. Melissa Rauch, Stephanie Beatriz, Megan Mullaley to do alternative voices for multiple seasons? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Poster I made for the Great Midwest Crane Fest!

You guys! There's also a John Cage! If I find out there's a JJ Cage, I might just lose my everloving mind.

Hurrah! (I like milk.)

Not sure if the "Lots for Sale" sign means the population will be going up or down.

All the li'l dogies are washed and in one corral.

Hey, @megaeralwrites.bsky.social , perhaps one of Hermann's niece or nephew (or Hermann himself) is called to Minneapolis to investigate some unusual occurences! www.goodreads.com/book/show/19...

Got my performance review.

We missed our chance to celebrate the Gogginssance.

TIL there is a musician named John Cale, and one named JJ Cale. I'm pretty sure I thought of just one person when either was ever mentioned.
