This week's 9-1-1 opened with multiple people losing fingers in a game of tug-of-war. It is the greatest thing that I have seen on TV all year.

Just finished 'And Then There Were none,' which was great until all that exposition at the end. It was kind of the book version of the doctor explaining Norman Bates at the end of 'Psycho.' #BookSky

I'm finally reading Night Bitch, and I'm sorry but does any else sing the title in their heads to the tune of Bob Seger's Night Moves? ("Working on some Night Bitch..") #booksky

So last week I read Tart by Slutty Cheff and this week I'm listening to the audiobook Self Sabotage by Jeffrey Self so I guess my thing right now is funny, well-written books that I will never tell my mom I've read. #booksky

I'm watching #SomebodySomewhere on HBO Max and gee, you think someone would gave told me how good this is. Like, give a gal a heads up.

Hear me out -- Mark Ruffalo as Columbo. Have we even discussed this?

I don't know that I would have read "Harriet Tubman: Live on Concert" had I not hear author Bob The Drag Queen interviewed by @samsanders.bsky.social but man that is beautiful book. #booksky

I'm really enjoying HBO's #Task, or as I like to call it "Mark of Eastown"

I've been rewatching Daria with my daughter, and, God, I forgot how good that show was. The first season finale, Misery Chick, and second season premiere, Arts and Crass are as good a one-two punch as TV has ever seen.

There's a Conan Gray concert tonight and the fan uniform is sailor PJs and hats. I was at dinner near the venue and saw a bunch of girls in the required outfits. At the table behind sat three girls in The Uniform and an older man, I assume a dad, wearing a Conan the Barbarian T-shirt. A king!

I finished Murder Takes a Vacation by @lauralippman.bsky.social today and immediately want a film adaptation with Margo Martindale as Mrs. Blossom.

Other people cried at the end of Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, right? Not just me? #BookSky

Just read 'Run for the Hills' and Kevin Wilson has jumped to the top of my authors who can't miss list. Moving and hilarious. Can't recommend enough. #booksky

In these trying times, it is my duty to tell there exists a cozy mystery novel starring the Golden Girls, and it is a freaking DELIGHT. #BookSky

Edi Patterson probably won't even get nominated for an Emmy for her monologue to that monkey on tonight's #RighteousGemstones finale, and that just seems wrong

sadly the media never reports on the overwhelming majority of white lotus guests who have perfectly normal vacation experiences

The most relatable thing about this week's #TheLastOfUs is that, at meeting to talk about a potential vigilante mission, there's one guy who only wants to talk about agriculture and gets scolded for not staying on topic.

I have too much faith in Danny McBride as a TV creator to believe that his casting of Michael Rooker as a seemingly malevolent ex is not a blatant Sea Of Love homage. And I love it. #RighteousGemstones

From now on, I shall only call it "Gossip Women." #RighteousGemstones

Thank you to the person who left this helpful note in my library copy of Between Two Kingdoms by Suleika Jaouad. Also - spoiler alert!

Also, "She's not here to do fashion shows, she's here to nan" is an all-time line of dialogue

I know I have said this before buy whoever designs or curates the costumes on Righteous Gemstones is a mad genius.

RIP Richard Chamberlain. Will never forget covering an event hosted by Jane Seymour where she told a VERY memorable story about auditioning for tithe Thornbirds with him: www.ctpost.com/local/articl...

Yes, Reachet's Alan Ritchson is truly gobsmacking boulder made flesh, but why aren't we talking more about this cereal-chomping goddess?

Dear creators of Reacher, when driving from Maine to New London, CT, one does not pass through New Haven. I mean, otherwise, the show is perfect. That was the only flaw.

Can't recommend the delightful Back After This by @lindaholmes.bsky.social enough. Funny, romantic and perfect for lovers of romantic comedy, audio media and giant doggos

Other showrunners: "TV viewers like comfort, familiarity. Reboots and remakes. Time-tested formulas. That's what people want! Danny McBride: I'M GOING TO OPEN THE FINAL SEASON OF RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES WITH A 40 MINUTE CIVIL WAR FLASBACK WITH NONE OF THE REGULAR CAST!!!!!

What do you call cheese that isn't yours? Nacho cheese

What did one toilet say to another? You look flushed

What do lawyers wear to formal occasions? Lawsuits

What did the triangle say to the circle? You're pointless

Where do polar bears keep their money? In a snowbank

What's brown and sticky? A stick

How come you never see pigs hiding in trees? Because they're really good at it

What do you call a bear without teeth? A gummy bear

“I lock you in an American sonnet that is part prison, / Part panic closet, a little room in a house set aflame. / I lock you in a form that is part music box, part meat / Grinder to separate the song of the bird from the bone.” — Terrence Hayes

Bad news, Margaret you didn't get nominated for The Substance. But you do get to do a complicated dance number ìn heels that has little to nothing to do with your career!

Good God. #cobrakai is so delightfully unhinged, it doesn't know where the hinge is. It can't find the word "hinge" in the dictionary. It exists in a world without hinges, where doors clatter violently to the floor.

I realize there are more important questions at this juncture, but why are people still staying at White Lotus resorts? They seem so dangerous!

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

PSA: everyone should be reading book right now app.thestorygraph.com/books/9b0eac... 📚 💙 📚 #booksky

Hey #booksky -- has anyone read Squeeze Me by Carl Hiaasen? Reading it now and it's excellent and, um, timely

Didn't expect to tear up during the Dogman movie, but here we are

Everything's terrible so I decided I'm going to start referring to Gerard Butler as "Gerry Butts" because it makes me laugh.

I love that today's Strands is specifically targeted to us nerdy girls who never forgot that one poem we had to memorize in the third grade.

Why do they all look like the gopher in Caddyshack? And i mean that in the best way.

Watching Conclave the way it was meant to be seen: in my living room, being interrupted multiple times by kids who should be in bed but "have to tell you something. "

Not sure who watched Landnan, but just gotta say that it is BONKERS that they gave Jerry Jones more dialoguecin one episode than they gave Demi Freaking Moore in the entire season. Just straight up bananapants.

PSA: I recently decided I should read some Carl Hiaasen, since I had never read him before. This past week I read Native Tongue, and oh my God I was not expecting the dolphin. IYKYK

I have read 80 books this year and these are some of my faves: James by Percival Everett; Margo's Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe; The God of the Woods by Liz Moore; Joyful Recollections of Trauma by Paul Scheer; Be Ready When the Luck Happens by Ina Garten; and Happy Ending by Emily Henry
