Aw man. Ozzy, then Chuck Mangione and now Loni. How many original members of Black Sabbath are still alive?

So @stephenking.bsky.social has literally got about 6 IP Movie and TV shows coming out in 2025 huh? My boy is making BANK!
I find myself in times of trouble speaking words of wisdom: have a tuxedo cat…or three.
Got re-upped here, and a good thing too since Ontario is just handing out measles like party favors at the previously eliminated disease party we’re all attending
We are at the other end of this cycle. It is #Midsummer. Today we have 12 hours and 19 minutes more daylight than we had on the 21st December. In #Orkney today we have 18 hours and 29 minutes of daylight. The sun rose at 3.58am and will set at 10.28pm. #SummerSolstice
We are so excited to announce that Titan Books has signed a three-book deal with Delilah S. Dawson starting with HOUSE OF IDYLL! 🖤 Two more horror novels will follow in 2026 and 2027, in the same bitingly sharp, witty, feminist style Dawson has become known for.
Pretty damn cool! @delilahsdawson.bsky.social
For my part, I have no interest in Silver Elites (but absolutely no objection to it) but I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of Ravenloft: Heir if Strahd. You keep writing and I’ll keep reading. You have fans rooting for you, so that has to put a little swagger in your stride.
The vast majority of authors struggled to get published, typically while juggling another career. And publishers have no idea what will work. They chase trends and throw spaghetti at the wall and pray.
My wife and I both worked in book publishing for 30+ years and from my perspective, little has changed. There were always the big (random) winners, but the vast majority of authors just struggled to continue to get published, typically while working another career.
BF #1’s loss for so many reasons. The book is pre-ordered and signed bookplate requested from the publisher. I’ve already played through Curse of Strahd with my Tuesday night D&D crew and can’t wait to read what you’ve done with Strahd and Barovia.
All the way back to Vampire of the Mists, you'll see lots of Easter eggs and callbacks. I wanted to write a book that was friendly and accessible to everyone. No more gatekeeping, just idiots taking risks as they grow stronger and go on an adventure together. It's out today. I hope you dig it! 9/9
Fun Facts about Heir of Strahd: Each character has a 5e Character Sheet and spell list. During the fights, many dice were rolled. If you read the book, you'll know which character the dice hate. Oh, and the Tarokka cards were consulted more than once.
Happy The Day We Stay Off Facebook Because We Have A Complicated Relationship With Our Mother Day to all who celebrate.
Strangely enough, The Deer Hunter was a question on the finals of Celebrity Jeopardy this week in the U.S. Russian roulette was in the answer.
I’ve had people do this after my trash had been collected and the can was sitting empty at the curb. So that bag was going to be in my trashcan for a week. Thoughts on whether this is okay?
hi this is really embarrassing but I was with the space crew yesterday and they forgot me up here
Virginia sure made some naming choices.
I firmly believe that lactose intolerance is just a phase.
“Diffuse” or “defuse”… dammit, now my head hurts too.
You win, Corks & Curds.
Happening now! My publisher is giving away 15 galleys of Dungeons & Dragons Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd between now and April 15! www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho... Please reskeet! Strahd thanks you for your interest and service.

The most remarkable thing about Clotworthy Skeffington is that he went ahead and named is first son Clotworthy Skeffington.
He went on a little long here too

The Super Bowl most of America wants: Commanders vs Bills. The Super Bowl we will probably get because we can never have anything nice: Eagles vs Chiefs
That Biden should have to issue preemptive pardons for men and women who defended the Constitution is a sad comment on Trump's vengeful nature.

Here's hoping that the afterlife is a kick a** library, good reading glasses and all the time in the world to read.
Just gave this Columbo book to someone on a four week loan. It'll probably be back in a minute.

Rookies historically struggle in their playoff debuts. The big stage is a step up from the regular-season ride. But Jayden Daniels is anything but normal. @benstandig.bsky.social on another thrilling Commanders win — one that booked a spot in the divisional round. www.nytimes.com/athletic/605...

There’s a small bookshop “adult scholastic book fair” at a local brewery They vastly misunderstood the demand

There's no better demonstration of the astonishing breadth of human experience than coming across someone actually, sincerely typing out a post that includes the statement that there is in fact no humor whatsoever to be found in the Murderbot books.
Nobody: we’re having pork chops tonight My Brain: Pooork chopsh’s & apple shaush *Damn you Peter Brady
Just look at this glorious floppy paperback! And what’s that at the end of the book?? 👀 👀
It’s long been suggested locally that JRR Tolkien’s tree-like warriors, the Ents, may have been inspired in part by this ancient oak at Cannock Chase, where he was based during the First World War. It’s extraordinary to see in person and well worth finding… @tolkiensociety.org @digitaltolkien.com

Thinking about this poem this morning. Near misses, scraping by, bouncing back, and the big warm whatever comes next. (Fifty Words Aritten About the Arctic Bowhead Whale After Learning They Can Live Up to Two Hundred Years by Nate DeMio)
a lot of people are leaving Game Night off of their best movies of 2024 lists just because — these are their words — “it came out in 2018, Brian,” which is, frankly, the kind of close-minded thinking that got us into the predicament we are in as a society
Beer lovers can raise a glass while honoring our nation’s 39th president. Jimmy Carter is a huge reason America’s craft beer scene is thriving today. trib.al/2aC133A
Am I the only person in the English speaking world that didn’t know that Pete Townshend’s full name is Peter Dennis Blandford Townshend?
I know Sam Darnold drinking from two different Gatorade bottles in three seconds on camera probably meant water and Gatorade, but hoping he was just making some weird flavor combination
Depressed? Never fear, you too can temporarily escape the horrifying grips of your current reality with this one trick: A book.
Who was in charge of font spacing for this episode of MR. ED?

Watched The Holdovers with the kids last night. A perfect movie. Alexander Payne truly did achieve his goal of making a movie that seemed to be OF the era rather than merely about the era. It’s a real movie. It takes its time. It lets you marinate in the moments. Great close-ups throughout.
Happy holidays to everyone but ESPECIALLY to @i-jasonalexander.bsky.social
I don’t like to brag, but by twenty minutes or so into any Columbo episode, I have figured out who the killer is.
Happy Festivus everyone. Always amazed this crazy episode birthed a real celebration that seems to be enjoyed by so many around the world. So may your feats be strong and your grievances few. Enjoy.
I'm not sure what's weirder, Hollywood actors being frozen in time with endless plastic surgeries or NFL refs being the most jacked old men on earth.
my least favorite part of baking cookies is scooping the little dough balls out of the ice cream
My milk frother also heats as it froths, and I've discovered that if I add in powdered chocolate, I can make a delightfully frothed hot chocolate in under a minute. This is dangerous knowledge for a man of my considerable appetites and wild, hedonistic disposition
I love how people think those little cheese knives are for serving cheese, like awwww that's cute no those are for *defending* your cheese, trust no one

Still one of the best “About the Author” segments I’ve read. As a side note, my son once told me Dav Pilkey was his favorite author ever…later adding that I was pretty good too, but only his second-favorite. 🙂 #itsanhonorjusttobenominated
We're currently watching an opera, in a movie, in a horror-hosted television program. This is basically a Turducken of entertainment, when you think about it! . #Svengoolie #ThePhantomOfTheOpera
Telling myself it’s ok to buy a new book ‘because it’s Christmas’ like I won’t be buying a new book ‘because it’s January/nearly Valentine’s Day/the start of spring/5 o’clock somewhere’
Over the years, I've shared this incredible column on Rickey by the late Ralph Wiley with people. They either love it or they don't understand it. And, if you don't get it? Sucks for you lol www.espn.com/page2/s/wile...
"He stood on a snow-mounded hill, with a copse of tall trees capping it far beyond, and two black birds drifting tiny to and fro above the trees. And before him, standing alone and tall on the white slope, leading to nowhere, were two great carved wooden doors." Happy mid-winter solstice.
was reading fight club and thinking "huh this is basically the great gatsby... I must be a genius for realizing this" and then wikipedia has a direct quote of palahniuk saying "it's basically the great gatsby" and so I guess everyone already knew this
The extended Lord of the Rings trilogy is 12 hours and 6 minutes which doesn’t include the several hundred interruptions where I explain minor trivia to my uninterested partner

As a vampire fan, I’ve tried watching this. And it is the best damn vampire show ever, infinity. “Bat!!!!!”
HOW could they think Norton was playing Bob Seger? For one thing, the character he played was too tall, could’ve used a few pounds.
