No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

"Chains" is a R & B song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. It was a hit for the American girl group the Cookies in 1962, which inspired @thebeatles to record the song for their debut album in 1963.

On this day 10 years ago, "The River" reshaped the road ahead as Bruce and the E Street Band launched a tour that let the album unfold in full, night after night — a show designed to capture the sweep, scope and spirit of the album as a complete live experience.

Listening to David Bowie's 'Reality' album. On 'New Killer Star' he sings the line "I got a better way, a new killer star" in such a way that it can be interpreted as "nuclear star" and that's such a solid example of his genius. Years after his passing I'm still discovering new aspects to his work.

More books, more words, shed the pounds, build the muscle. That's what 2026 is going to be for me.

Bruce and the E Street Band returned to Saturday Night Live on this day in 2015. Their performance of “The Ties That Bind” lit up both stage and screen, and the night closed on a festive note as Paul McCartney joined in for “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town” — a holiday encore for the ages.

I interviewed Rob Reiner as one of the bonuses for the @criterion.bsky.social BluRay of SPINAL TAP. We talked for an hour about the movie and his career and then they shut off the cameras and we talked about movies for another hour. A delightful, unhurried genius.

So saddened to learn of what has happened to Rob Reiner and his wife. How tragic.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

I think life would be better if more people read books and spent time looking up at the stars

Let’s all go around BlueSky and each say what we’re thankful for. I’ll start: GLENN CLOSE! And #WakeUpDeadMan being in theaters. WITH GLENN CLOSE! Thanks to all who are coming out to see it. Theater finder in my pinned post!

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words: “Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.” That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

Gesticulates with hands, head slightly askew, mouth puckered-up like a cat's asshole: "Is he dead? I don't know. Is there a way of, maybe, injecting him with bleach that could help? A lot of people say to me--they're coming up and saying, 'Sir, why not the bleach?'"

So close to being done* with this current book, HER TURN NOW. My 20th book! I've written about so much horrible shit, I think it's time to write that cosy small-town romance I've been circling for years. Question is whether to use a pen name... *are they ever truly done? #writing #writingsky

I know he's my kid, so take it with a grain of salt if you wanna, but KING SORROW is one of the best terror tomes I've ever read. It's the GONE WITH THE WIND of horror! 🎃

Not forgetting the excellent DOCTOR SLEEP (Netflix in the US). While I'm here, I'd love a sequel to the novel so that we can find out what Abra is up to...

I've never taken so long in revising a novel as I have with this one. Nearly 20 books in, I guess I'm finally maturing as a writer LOL.

Is anyone really that surprised Zelensky walked away empty-handed? It's not negotiation, it's weakness. The Tangerine should give an ultimatum to The Warmonger: stop the war within 24 hours or the US will supply Ukraine with Tomahawks. Nothing will come of the meeting in Hungary.

What happens when a city prioritizes people over cars? In Haarlem, most streets are now limited to 30 km/h, making walking and cycling not just safer, but more pleasant too. This shift isn’t just about safety; it’s also about space,noise, and quality of life Read more dutchcycling.nl/.../cyc.../h...

Unforgivable if this is true. What a betrayal!

Diane Keaton should have lived much longer. She would be in her 90s, chic and silly. She'd grace late night TV now and then and say outrageous things to shock the squares. She was our queen of quirk, yes, but also an actor of tremendous fragility and charm.

If you could please do us a favour and RT (or whatever it is on here) my writing CV I would be extremely grateful. I am a very capable writer of words, mainly “humorous”’ and if you have some PROPER paid work for me, please DM me. Thank you for your time www.mathew-owen.co.uk

#DianeKeaton breaks my heart every time I watch #TheFamilyStone Such a kind soul and a stunningly warm actress. What a loss to the world.

I watched it yesterday with my brother and had a blast! 🤷🏻‍♂️
