JAWS was released 51 years ago this week. Regarded the first summer blockbuster and A landmark of Hollywood, the making of story is so crazy it begs the question of how it was ever made… 1/47

I've seen this so many times and still see new things each time. Brilliant. One of my all-time favorites.

Just noting I have a birthday coming up eventually at some point in the next 12 months.

The latest entries of both my current favorite mystery series have arrived in Libby, just in time for the long weekend. Miracles do exist.

Loved the Widow's Bay finale. Seems intentionally trying to be the new LOST and I am down.

Arrival challenges audiences to venture beyond time-tested genre tropes.

This book should be required reading.

Why are archives important? So many reasons - & lots begin with E! For evidence. For education. For exploration. For enjoyment. For emotions. For everyone. This year we're also celebrating a vital reason beginning with J: For justice. #InternationalArchivesDay #IAD #IAD2026 #ArchivesForJustice

I just sent in two articles & for the first time in forever I don’t owe anyone any work. there are zero work tasks that need to be completed in the next three weeks. it’s a strange & freeing feeling to not be haunted by work as an academic. I can read & write whatever I want.

I spy my comps here...

If you don’t occasionally treat yourself to a day of exploring used bookstores, greenhouses, libraries, cafés, and bakeries, then what’s the point of anything really?

Giles was a great librarian, recognizing the information needs of his patrons and supporting their research projects with courage, dedication, and the occasional magic spell. RIP.

"I basically feel nothing. Not even when my nephew Grady gets framed for murder, which happens constantly. Seriously, I have a criminal defense attorney on perpetual retainer who specializes in homicide for this sort of thing."

The '90s were a great time for deeply weird sci fi movies, and Alex Proyas' Dark City might be the weirdest of them all: a brilliant collection of ideas and images from classic science fiction and film noir (just avoid the tacked-on prologue)

Reading so much Agatha Christie, about a book a day, and I long to live in a stately home and eat cake. All this reading is keeping me from unraveling, so never, ever doubt the power and value of fiction.

I love that the premise of Widow’s Bay is “what if Jaws, but instead of a shark, it’s a haunted island and also, the mayor is the main character, but you can’t help rooting for him because it’s MATTHEW RHYS”
