How many Hamlets is too many? 📚💙

💥 A group founded by Stephen Miller filed a federal complaint in July against the 2025 World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers for their commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. The team's website continues to display its commitment to DEI. Congratulations, Dodgers! #Dodgers #WorldSeries

We now join the 2026 World Series, already in progress

Two months after our episode on the complicated claim that reading more literature will fix men’s problems, Bari Weiss introduced a new podcast on getting men to read more literature #booksky

There’s a reason Kiké Hernandez is a starter in the postseason #worldseries

Great episode with Kyle (not pictured), everyone check out his novels #booksky

“A slippery narrative POV reminds us that storytelling — and hence life, the world, and everything in it — is a muddle of competing and conflicting interpretations.” A new piece by @stockstill.bsky.social of @thirdpersonlimited.bsky.social. pghrev.com/fluid-narrat...

Apropos of nothing, earlier this year we named our dog after Freddie Freeman. He’s the big one #dodgers #worldseries

Excited to check out Quan Barry’s latest. Her previous novel was in my Best of 2023 📚🖋️💙

The (postmodernist) boys are back in town 📚🖋️ #booksky

“Juuust a bit outside” … Joe Davis has been waiting his whole career to make that call #alcs

I was enjoying my digital review copy of @johnhornor.bsky.social ‘s latest novel, the slow-burn nautical horror The Night That Finds Is All, until it disappeared from my device with 50 pages to go, because yesterday was the pub date. To the bookstore at once! #booksky

Mona Awad takes us back to the Bunny verse … Not as good as the original, unfortunately, but still gets under your pelt (that’s a Bunny joke, haha). Full review coming on the podcast soon. #booksky

Might be my favorite book of the year #booksky

Enjoyed @laraehrlich.bsky.social ‘s Bind Me Tighter Still, a tale of mermaid motherhood and the fraught business of discovering and creating one’s own identity in a world that doesn’t seem like it was made for you #booksky

Don’t think I can get to this before it’s published in two weeks. But I assume it is fair to say, “Ian McEwan has done it again!” (I’ve only read one of his other novels.) #booksky

First in line, hope you’re not jealous #booksky

Already a lot of good words shared about @barbaratruelove.bsky.social ‘s Of Monsters and Mainframes, so I’ll just say if you ever wanted to see an AI spaceship grapple with vampires, werewolves, eldritch horrors and more, then wow do I have the perfect novel for you! #booksky

Patricia Lockwood’s latest autobiographical novel throws us back into her head, where Long COVID and her husband’s sudden illness spark a rolling boil of emotions disguised as twee tweets and wry observations. It’s good. #booksky

Hitting a solo homer in Angel Stadium while his team is getting crushed must be bringing back memories for Shohei Ohtani tonight

This is the most emotional I’ve ever seen Shohei Ohtani. Arguing calls, frustrated at striking out. Getting back on the mound at less than 100% has definitely impacted him.

Anyone who thinks Los Angeles is in a state of violent, citywide insurrection probably also believes Portland burned to the ground during BLM protests www.latimes.com/california/s...

I will also join the small but growing group of unreconstructed hippies on Bluesky cheering the announcement of a new Thomas Pynchon novel

Thinking about previous mass immigration roundups for no good reason www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

Happy Halloween! I hope my Jack O’ Lantern is not too terrifying

Iconic shoes by century 20th: Chuck Taylors, Birkenstocks, Doc Martens, half Cabs, Louboutins, Air Jordans. 21st: Crocs Hm.

THULSA DOOM: Nice job raiding the village, guys. Tie the kids to that big wheel thingy and we’ll head out. WARRIOR CAPTAIN: Should we also give one of the enslaved children steroids and protein powder every day for the next 20 years? THULSA DOOM: I see no way this could backfire.

Guess I should post something good if I want people to follow me back!
