My love @superamanda.bsky.social & I have walked downtown multiple times in the past few years and never felt unsafe. Nor have I in the over 30 years of doing that before I met her.

L. Krauss & I were early advocates on behalf of a Saudi writer jailed for being a writer. Krauss may have retweeted links to my articles. A. Sulzberger, fmr. NYTimes publisher, father of the current one, lives near my town & married a former editor of mine in 2025. He shopped in stores I worked in.

I stupidly tagged the wrong man in my skeet about Eric Larson making this reply to Monica Valentinelli on Facebook. It’s NOT comics artist/writer/publisher Erik Larsen, to whom I apologize. It’s Eric Larson, whom I believe has been a Fan Guest of Honor at Gen Con.

I did not have DGI President Zack Matheny blaming Ozempic for #GSO restaurant closures on my bingo card. My cover store in the latest YES! Weekly. @DanDosSantos.bsky.social @SuperAmanda.bsky.social www.yesweekly.com/business/sor...

Look at this kvetching Karenating killjoy complaining about TCM showing three Marvin the Martian cartoons before William Cameron Menzies’ INVADERS FROM MARS. What a maroon. #TCMparty #InvadersFromMars

Yesterday, my love @superamanda.bsky.social and I spent hours down this rabbit hole, as they were her childhood environs and I only knew Berkley from reading about it until she took me there. Exploring this time capsule with her was magical.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

I think the brain tumor scene is a dream and he does kill his wife but Rayburn is puzzling. The Big Sleep taught me not to puzzle over screen and teleplays too much. Sometimes even the filmmakers don't know :)

I didn't know there was a 1980 brit TV series called Hammer House of Horror. It opens with Patricia Quinn (Magenta from Rocky Horror) as a witch. Also has Jon Finch (my fave Macbeth). Not brilliant but fun.

I’m so glad I have my love and, soon, my wife, @superamanda.bsky.social and that she has me.

She defied cops, the Klan, & the racism of Dairy Queen and K&W. @superamanda.bsky.social

Nope, never made. But it was advertised in VARIETY back in the day!

@patrickzircher.bsky.social is doing my favorite Howard-inspired comics since Barry Windsor Smith left Conan.

Latest read, Cannery Row (1945) by John Steinbeck; while composed of vignettes about Doc, a marine biologist & specimen supplier, and the variety of characters he meets, this is a novel of a man's love of life in all its shapes and forms. About 'seeing' and appreciating those around us. #BookSky

@superamanda.bsky.social and I saw the outside of the real Doc’s lab when my love took me to Monterey.

And as my lovely fiancé @superamanda.bsky.social just pointed out, Sven actually said “some people think” it’s ASH, rather than making that claim himself. Here’s the actual actor Graham James on Granada Closedown. There is arguably some resemblance. youtu.be/AGSCdN6GZA8

My article about how #Greensboro Mayor removed chair of the Minimum Housing Standards Commission for “disrespectful tone” towards a city attorney. Several commissioners called this “retaliation” for his accusing the city of protecting slumlords. www.yesweekly.com/news/mayor-r...

For me, the Cohen is New Skin for the Old Ceremony

Realtor coalition sent outgoing #Greensboro Mayor email urging the removal of housing commissioners’ duties to study rental rates & inspect apartments. In one of their last official acts, outgoing city council voted to do that. www.yesweekly.com/news/council...

Wonderful avenging kitty who kills the corrupt Archdeacon Haynes w/ “death by fluffy pantaloons” in the BBC’s THE STALLS OF BARCHESTER CATHEDRAL (Lawrence Gordon Clark 1971) This great short film retelling of M.R. James was the inaugural Christmas Ghost Story for the beeb @ianmcdowell.bsky.social

I also asked the Republican-appointed Board of Elections chair about his claim that one has to “be born here” to have constitutional rights. www.yesweekly.com/news/voting-...

Raising the regular price 30% and then offering 50% off is Not half price.

#AnnaMayWong & #VincentPrice in John Gerard & Lawrence Langner’s Princess Turandot at the Westchester Playhouse in 1937. According to Victoria Price, they were in love, but marriage was illegal under racist US laws. #TCMparty @superamanda.bsky.social

You were the person for the job! Most stories you cover are far from fun, but this was much needed positive news for people to enjoy. I’m sure some people are learning about Murphy Anderson for the first time through this piece. Greensboro is lucky to have you.

Great quotes from @PatrickZircher.bsky.social & #MarkWaid for my cover story. Did you know that Murphy Anderson wanted the #SilverAge #BlackCanary to be Black, but Julie Schwartz said no? #DCcomics #Greensboro @superamanda.bsky.social www.yesweekly.com/news/triad-c...

Amanda Love, according to a source, when #DCcomics revived #BlackCanary, Murphy wanted to make her black, but was told Southern newsstands would not stock it. @PatrickZircher.bsky.social @JessNevins.bsky.social

@superamanda.bsky.social @nonzerosumjames.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy @gigdrain.bsky.social @michaelchabon.bsky.social

Greensboro, North Carolina to honor legendary Justice League artist, Murphy Anderson!

#Comics peeps, #CityofGreensboro Mayor Elect Marikay Abuzuaiter has created a resolution honoring #MurphyAnderson, who grew up here. Comment with covers or panels by Murphy you love. #DComics @patrickzircher.bsky.social @jessnevins.bsky.social

I wish this wasn’t out of print & so expensive. Earnshaw persuasively debunks the claim that the Demon was added by the producer. Like many genre directors, Tourneur fibbed when interviewed by his fans at Cahiers du Cinema. #TCMparty. #CurseOfTheDemon

The real #VillaDiodatti is less spacious than Universal’s. #TheBrideOfFrankenstein #TCMparty

Vicious MAGA trash befouling #TCMparty on X.

(Reposting because I forgot #TCMparty hashtag) Friday night 8 pm. A great film, but for Halloween? And is it a selection that will benefit from Mario Cantone’s schtick? @SuperAmanda.bsky.social @SlipKid24.bsky.social

#TCMparty #TheMummy not only portrays gods of ancient Egypt as real, but implicitly shoes that science and Christianity are useless against them. Only by calling on the religion of her former self can Helen destroy Imhotep. @SuperAmanda.bsky.social

@SuperAmanda.bsky.social & I saved #CurseOfTheDemon to watch instead of Mario’s inexplicable choice. #TCMparty

If you need an alternate choice, this 1964 British cheapie is terrifying. youtu.be/Pm5IJ7MG8NY?... #TCMparty

“Grew them, as nature does, from seed.” 16th-century scientist/alchemist Paracelsus claimed to have created homunculi from human sperm fed with human blood in a horse's womb. #BrideOfFrankenstein #TCMparty

Bela has more dialogue in this delightful #MarkOfTheVampire trailer than he has in the film. @superamanda.bsky.social @slipkid24.bsky.social #TCMparty youtu.be/eyvOdKm0eDo?...

In the DCU (Dickensenian Cinematic Universe) #TheseAreTheDamned is Bill Sykes' origin story 🤭 #Oliver #FakeFilmFact #TCMParty #FilmSky

The lesson of horror anthologies: be nice, no matter what, to the old antique dealer. #TCMParty

The real nature of #RosemarysBaby was only a surprise until 1968. By then, every kid in my grade school knew Rosemary gives birth to Satan‘s child, although most of us would not see the film for years. #TCMparty @superamanda.bsky.social

Even though he’s 91 now, I wouldn’t say that to Major Dunagan’s face. The former Peter Von Frankenstein and Bambi became one of the Marine Corps’ most decorated combat veterans. www.warhistoryonline.com/vietnam-war/...

Photo of me in front of St. Teresa of Avila Church, taken by my gorgeous love @superamanda.bsky.social. The former schoolhouse beside it is now a private residence. #TheBirds #TCMparty.

It’s not a little touring revue. It’s a major Broadway production directed by a satire on Jose Ferrer & Orson Welles, and financed by Tony’s expensive art collection after the backers drop out. Broadway shows went on the road to be fine-tuned for weeks or months before they premiered in Manhattan.

I’ve long thought even the most annoying #TCMParty hipster-quipsters less annoying than the subtitle-phobic geriatrics on Facebook that they (and I ) make fun of. But several insufferable comments on #TheseAreTheDamned, the best SF film Hammer ever made, have revised that opinion. But
