As health insurance premiums are set to double for millions of Americans and 42 million working families face losing the benefits that keep them fed, the No Kings Alliance is organizing to provide mutual aid and care for our communities. Please join us this weekend: www.mobilize.us/nokings/c/no...

One of only 3 cats who read the hardback. But all of them went out and immediately formed a band afterwards.

If the sole purpose of Halloween was so that It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown could exist, that alone would make the whole endeavor worthwhile.

An easy one: Any comics film adaptation that exists without the original creator being able to pay off their house is a moral failure

Speaking of @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social , she’s posted a list of food banks for Brooklyn to keep along with your links to Lemontree at foodhelpline.org clarke.house.gov/bfb/

It’s not linked to in the footer, but Yvette Clarke is including Bluesky posts in her newsletters. The more reps and congressfolks that move here, the sooner we can lose the X & Meta logins to see what’s going on.

Now Playing for Halloween Week: The War of the Worlds by Orson Welles and the Lux Radio Theatre (Longines Symphonette Society, 1968). Actually I just thought this was a LP of Latin dance music and now I am terrified! AIEEEEEEEEE

Now Playing for Halloween: Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds (CBS, 1978) One of my favorite albums and definitely my favorite "rock opera." UUUUUUUUULA!

Yes, Jubilee, that's a perfect normal way to sit.

Done my duty! Voted for the guy who is NOT a sex offender OR a violent vigilante thug.

Happy All Hallow's Eve! @dumb-industries.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXhM...

Edited so much better than Manos that it’s almost painful to watch.

Now Playing: Prisoner in Disguise by Linda Ronstadt (Asylum, 1975) Oh Linda, I do love you so! #NowPlaying #NowSpinning

Don’t make me tap the fucking sign.

A good list for people in NYC to share about how people impacted by SNAP cuts might access some food: open.substack.com/pub/eboyle/p...

🎃 happy spooky time 🎃

Me, Marshall, and Shelly got spooky and delicious HALLOWEEN COOKIES! Yum! They are the perfect treat for YOUR little monster, too!

I’ve been waiting since 2022 for Brooklyn Public Library to post this. It’s Kate Beaton speaking on Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands, but it’s more about history, family, music and Cape Breton. Sound is a wonky. Stay with it, it’s brilliant. #comics youtu.be/hpfMgQil_JI?...

Wait til they find out who owns the largest distributor of eBooks and Audios to libraries. (Hint: it’s these folks. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KKR_%26...)

Added bonus for everyone who votes in NYC tomorrow: special edition “I voted” sticker

Brooklyn Public Library has been posting what feels like two years of interviews on YouTube. Worth checking out if you’re into Brooklyn history and lit. youtu.be/KJRMjth9KgI?... This is Jonathan Lethem discussing crime novels last October.

Recent Michael Palin interview with Louis Theroux. Read comments at your own risk. youtu.be/NF94RFS4lWg?...

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

At the very least, it’s a story that every media in that city should be giving its own focus, especially when that candidate’s campaign acknowledged that they had released a profoundly racist ad the pulled it out of circulation because they realized it looked a little TOO racist.

NBC News finds that: -- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six. -- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam. -- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

If SNAP and/or other necessities benefits don't go out... both deaths and thefts are going to go up.

Could we have a mayor that doesn‘t welcome this with open arms?

Have stopped watching Tubi due to Cuomo ads. Having fights about Zohran with family who have already left the city; wondering if they’re running Cuomo ads nationally or if the 24/7 news is all too happy to talk up Zohran’s lack of experience next to Cuomo.

On day 22 of the Trump Shutdown, Senate Republicans are holding show votes, the House GOP won’t show up for work and Trump wants to see shows in his new ballroom. In 10 days, more than 24 million working Americans will see their healthcare costs double and GOP leadership is living in la la land.

to keep functioning a society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

My favorite aspect of the Columbus legend is him getting rejected by the Portuguese gets spun as them not recognizing the genius of his idea. No - he went into a roomful of expert navigators and made basic math mistakes, they thought he was a moron, and they wouldn't fund his idea on that basis.

Far be it from me to ask anyone to throw the vote BUT When you cast your vote for @wxpnfm.bsky.social Best Covers, consider putting my cover of Tryouts for the Human Race at #10 on your list

Boosting Ancestry has issues, but it did demonstrate to me that my ancestors had different *but recorded* names when they came here generations ago. It wasn’t some person at Ellis Island being unable to say or spell Gelman, at least phonetically.

Turns out most people don't really like being invaded

I used to work in book wholesaling and also retail. Baker and Taylor was my second choice for ordering after Ingram. My third choice was Book people an independent wholesaler, that I ended up working for. We had lots of small press titles. It’s all going away. Disintermediation. FUCK AMAZON

Having issues where Baker & Taylor wasn't fulfilling orders so book orders start off there but would end up being filled through Ingram was a system that we were used to. Library eBooks are already pretty much a monopoly with Overdrive. None of this is new, and it all sucks.

Got myself an exciting new Nero Wolfe murder mystery book to enjoy! Oh boy! I hope the murderer in this one is someone terrible and awful who is just a low-down dirty crook and who gets sent to the chair after Wolfe detects him and ... AIEEEEEEEEEEEE

What a Rubenesque, melting ice cream sandwich of a cat.

John and Randi met over Twitter years ago (when it was good) and got married! ❤️

Great, the Bluesky repost button stopped working when iOS updated Which isn’t why I’m here - I’m here because I got a spam text asking if I wanted “illegals and dangerous criminals” removed by ICE from Nassau County and now no amount of breathing exercises can calm me. Be careful, please.

I'm going to keep posting old stuff and you can't stop me. #halloween #kidlit #art

Lookit what pal @dorwright.bsky.social sent me: a vintage P. G. Wodehouse book in an edition I don't have! It's a paperback flip book of Quick Service and The Code of the Woosters (two of Wodehouse's best) with fabulous cover illustrations. Thank you so much, Dorian!
