Colbert may be gone but the jokes will be forever

When people discuss "Last Midnight" from "Into the Woods," they often bring up that it rips off the melody from "Bali Ha'i" from "South Pacific." But I also noticed that it takes parts of "Could I Leave You" from "Follies" too. #Broadway

Oh, no big deal, just hanging out with MY BUDDY PAUL. Holy cow, the Colbert wrap party was the most insane gathering of friends and heroes that I’ve ever experienced in my life. Much love to Stephen and his entire amazing crew, and wishing them the best in whatever their next adventure happens to be

You're living the good life, you little kitty.

From helping establish the country's first bookmobile, to collecting millions of books for American soldiers overseas, to launching a nationwide campaign to sign up every child for a library card, ALA history is American history. Now, you can see it in our new timeline. Check it out at ALA150.org

People forgot what the economy was like after Covid.

Let's look at another "Wuthering Heights" version - this time, it's "Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights," the 1992 film starring Ralph Fiennes! How faithful is it to the novel by Emily Brontë?

New Song vs. Song podcast! Much thanks to Justin Lewis (@whenisbirths.bsky.social), author of "Into the Groove" to help us decode which is the better mid-'80s jam that's more chorus than song, "Shout" vs. "Relax"

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Today, I'm visiting one of the most popular books to tackle mental health "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig. What is the Midnight Library? How does it deal with mental health? Is it worth reading? Click on this link to find out and more: chick-who-reads-everything.com/2026/05/11/t... #booksky

Happy Mother's Day to all!! Who is your favorite literary mother? Mine is Marmie from "Little Women." #booksky

Harpo Marx guest starred on I LOVE LUCY #OTD in 1955, recreating the mirror scene from DUCK SOUP (1933). "My dad had to play the part played by Groucho, so that Lucy could play the part usually played by Harpo," his son Bill Marx said. "There was a lot of rehearsal that went into it." #FIlmSky

Happy #caturday from my cat Mookie who decided to make my library bag his home lol

"Even as IOU" is a strange short. It involves Curly buttheading a goat, the Stooges eating wooden fish, and Curly giving birth to a calf. On top of that, Larry only has like two lines, and they're not taking the whole thing with the mom and daughter seriously. #MeTVThreeStooges

Haha! Whoever is getting the Western Surprise isn't getting drunk tonight lol! #MeTVThreeStooges

A deep dive into the swing revival, the biggest hit song in it and the heinously-named band that fit awkwardly in it

I read a piece in the Times that asks where all the book reviews have gone. I must confess—in my capacity as a freelance book critic—it has made me feel very frustrated.

Melania - Your husband was gleeful about the deaths of Robert Mueller & Rob Reiner, he yells at & demeans female reporters on a weekly basis, he encouraged a mob to endanger the life of his former Vice President. And on and on. . . So, Melania, America is asking you to kindly f*ck all the way off.

Today, I'll review the Reese's Book Club pick "The Paper Palace" by Miranda Cowley Heller. What makes this book appealing? What does Margaret Dumont have to do with it? Is it worth reading? Click on this link to find out and more: chick-who-reads-everything.com/2026/04/27/t... #booksky

Number Ones on Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak's pretty-good stylized-Stylistics pastiche "Leave The Door Open."

Number Ones on Polo G, a rapper who I was really into for a while there, and on "Rapstar," a song that caught a weird little wave.

Number Ones on the Weeknd and Ariana Grande, two singers who make a lot of sense together, and on the "Save Your Tears" remix, which is pointless superstar event-pop done right.

Number Ones on winning a breakup, the nature of authorship, the chaotic revival of Warped Tour emo, and Olivia Rodrigo's "Good 4 U," a great song.

This is a fascinating article about book reviews and their current status. I can tell you right now that I'm going to continue to write them as long as I live. Where Have All the Book Reviews Gone? - The New York Times share.google/YmA34Imkizar...

My next book review is about a novel written by Miranda Cowley Heller - the former Head of Drama series at HBO. #booksky

Don’t judge a book by its review count. I met a fellow indie crime author who exchanged books with me. He only had 1 review. Started reading & it’s damn good! Review count doesn’t = quality. Sometimes great books just haven’t been discovered yet. Give indie books a chance. #AuthorSky #BookSky

I absolutely adore little libraries 🥲📚

Julian Glover plays a more sympathetic Hindley in the 1970 movie version of "Wuthering Heights." Do you think this portrayal works? Why or why not? #booksky #filmsky
