This was a really great episode, about how Agatha Christie titles were changed in different languages.

The Mycroft publications I know of and have. Any others I should seek out?

Having great fun reading "Sherlock: Every Canon Reference You May Have Missed in BBC's Series 1-3". Reminds me of just how much I love this show. amzn.to/3K6Ktyf

Do you ever look around at the hundreds of books you haven't gotten to yet and think, "I wish I had something I wanted to read"?

Went to see Murder on the Orient Express on stage while I was in Virginia. They managed to fit it all in 2 1/2 hours by consolidating some characters: She's the missionary AND the princess's companion! (My fave:) She's the countess AND a doctor! 8 suspects instead of 12. Genius sponsorship too.

I prefer to read / review actual books if possible; here's one reason why. Flip! by Ngozi Ukazu is shown with the ARC I was sent below. Sometimes GN ARCs aren't even in color! This one had to be, but the paper makes a difference, as the ARC appears noticeably more faded. It's a great read btw!

eEEEEEEE! I now have a copy of my holy grail of Sherlockian publications, the 1969 Bruce Kennedy Mycroft booklet, thanks to the amazing @221bcooee.bsky.social ! I have no idea what I've done to deserve friends like these, but boy, am I lucky!

Every time I see the Idiot Carrot denying evidence about his close relationship with Epstein, I hear this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g5H...

SPX Special Guests signing times are here! Check out when and where to catch them!

Finished DOOM PATROL season one & it might be the best comic book adaptation I've ever watched: faithful to the source material but not just a simple copy, reimagining the core elements in clever ways. I've requested the next season from the library & I'm curious to see if it maintains the quality.

And it's exactly the same show as it was when it started in the late 70s. You don't fix what ain't broken.

Follow it up with a Bull Durham viewing!

Ha ha ha - I stand corrected.

I enjoyed seeing the people still lining up in costume for midnight shows.

This is a terrible way to find out Mark Volman died.

Josie and the Pussycats soundtrack is banging! (People probably don't still say that. But amazing movie, great music.)

Gotta go with the super elegant K1 from classic Doctor Who...

Happy Anniversary Dinosaurs on a Spaceship! That episode of Doctor Who, with Rupert Graves looking wonderful as big game hunter John Riddell, first aired on September 8, 2012.

Wanna feel ancient? CBS News Sunday Morning, the most Old People show, did a piece on the 50th anniversary of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Which is the weirdest placement. Listening to the Time Warp on Sunday morning is just wrong. It's the "longest continuously running film in cinema history."

A Kickstarter story. I pledged for this documentary in early 2013 with an estimated delivery of Jan 2014. I got it today. It’s making me sad cause KC was really interested in seeing it. (It was a nice gesture to change downloads to a dvd.)

For real, if you've ever been considering reviewing / interviewing / etc. someone but stopped yourself because the book was released months ago... do it! We love getting coverage after pub day.

I found out almost 15 years ago that mentioning jury nullification is the quickest way to get of jury duty. They REALLY don't like it. Especially if you start informing other people about it during the jury selection process. If you want to fuck with 'em instead of avoid duty, keep your mouth shut

My cartoon for the @theguardian.com books autumn reads special.

"Back in my day, fans didn't outrage until beloved characters were brought back to life a few years later. They stayed dead. You snowflakes ruin everything!" Spock: "Hold my tricorder." Sherlock Holmes: "Hold my cocaine."

I loved the Huntress when she was the daughter of Catwoman and Batman (before her mafia makeover). It felt right having a character who was the next generation, when I was reading superhero comics still dominated by the older characters.

According to the Five Earths Project, today is the birthday of Helena Wayne, aka, The Huntress! #thehuntress #helenawayne #dccomics #batman #catwoman #patreon #ink #batmanfamily

Gorgeous ways to display art that isn't just frames on walls. I love that tornado.

Wow! My user id is over 5,600,000. Thank you AO3.

TIL that there are only 2 (!) stories at AO3 for Solar Pons, the most famous Sherlock Holmes copy. (This doesn't surprise me, he's a nothingburger as an actual character.) There are already 2 stories for Gabriel Book, and his series hasn't even aired in the US yet.

New CWR post: Small Press Expo 2025 Next Weekend! @smallpressexpo.bsky.social And information on the panel I'm moderating! comicsworthreading.com/2025/09/07/s...

Excellent sticker.

Fun game I found today: Dog Crimes. Single-player set of logic puzzles. You have a card with a "dog crime" -- ate the homework or pooped on the rug -- and clues to place the dogs around the rug in such a way that you can figure out who did it.

Madisonians! Noble Knight Games in Fitchburg is having a mini book/craft fair today! Look at the cool things I got! (The wooden thing in the box is a book buddy, where you put it on your thumb and it holds the pages open.)

"we talked for some moments very pleasurably of our experiences with neuralgia [headaches]; my own were much more interesting than [hers] but I listened forbearingly to her tale." -- The Patient in Room 18 (Isn't that how we all deal with medical chat? Ours is so much more interesting!)

Flawless

Dead Again. Without saying The Birdcage, fav Robin Williams Film?

@vassalady.bsky.social Loved seeing your cat pics today!

Oh man, Bluesky allows posting your own gifs now. Fucking. Gamechanger.

We ALL had help breaking in and staying into comics. Now it's our turn to be that help for other people. Not to benefit ourselves, but to benefit the people we used to be. Help them, guide them, look out for them. That was the deal then and that should be the deal now. /END

Lieber is one of my all-time favorite people in comics and it is specifically because of this indignant suburban dad **** right here. It's old school comics. It's "C'mere, kid" energy. And I love and respect it so much. It's not found much anymore.

I've been binging Doc Martin, which I only discovered a couple of months ago when I was in London. (Thank goodness for well-stocked libraries for getting DVDs!) Part of the fantasy charm for me is how everyone walks into a doctor's office, gets a same day appointment, and no one ever pays!

The unbridled joy and fun is why I love this run. Just look at them all getting flight rings😁

You know how the ‘to do’ list just keeps growing? Going to need some serious organisational skills going forward… #doodleaday

TIL that the Muppet Show debuted 49 (!) years ago today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zaQ...

We are now shipping to the USA again, with only a small uplift in postage costs.

TIL that the artist for Mystery Fluxx from @looneylabs.bsky.social is Ted Slampyak Kinyak, author of Jazz Age Chronicles. (Loved that series.) amzn.to/4gaAPqh amzn.to/46c4pqQ

Need to get your steps in and don't want to just walk loops around the kitchen table? Make a king-size bed by yourself. Whew.
