I was missing at least one Agatha Christie Poirot novel from my collection and bought a new version of it and it’s not a mass market paperback and I am weirdly sorta disappointed about it.

I LIKE my mass market paperbacks. Could fit ‘em in my back pocket. I suppose jeans were more forgiving then.

@lukeepplin.bsky.social So even if I have a signed copy of Moses and the Doctor coming to me from Astoria Bookshop, can I still request a signed bookplate from you? (I want to feel as special as possible.)

“I’d pay the devil to replace her” is such a good line.

@patrickzircher.bsky.social Speaking of composition, my good fellow lost in a sea of prints amuses me no end. Dogs, what can you do.

@patrickzircher.bsky.social Thought you’d be amused by a framed Blonde on Blonde alongside some Alex Toth Zorro! (I am moving things around.)

Nix v. Hedden is probably the silliest U.S. Supreme Court case ever. I love it so.

@hotdogsladies.bsky.social I swear that the idea of “fresh starts and modest changes” is probably the most helpful idea to actual personal change for the better that I’ve ever come across.

One thing I like about Hastings in Agatha Christie’s books is how dense Hastings is. Like sooooo dense.

I am extremely proud that Minnesota has a memorial in Mississippi.

Agatha Christie’s The Big Four is silly as all hell, but it’s a lot of fun.

“Think of everything, don’t you?”

“Most things,” said Poirot complacently.

@thefienprint.bsky.social I am sure I have said this to you before, but gosh dang it if Quiz Show isn’t just an incredible (and incredibly underrated) movie.

Heck, yeah, it’s Saturday afternoon and we’re eating popcorn and watching Quiz Show.

@ghardison.bsky.social Hey, it’s unclear.
Breaking: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are being investigated by the Trump DOJ for allegedly obstructing law enforcement activities, two U.S. officials told WCCO.

It's unclear how Walz and Frey allegedly obstructed law enforcement or what they were allegedly obstructing.

@hotdogsladies.bsky.social Apropos of various things, have you ever listened to the Billy Taylor Trio’s My Fair Lady Loves Jazz? If not, could be up your alley.

That Thing You Do! is a perfect movie. It does everything it sets out to do. I always forget how hard Tom Everett Scott goes at the drums. Of course he uses traditional grip!

@ghardison.bsky.social Good grief, these are possibly the most soulless eyes I’ve ever seen.
Marco Rubio: "It had to be done. And it's been done. And I assure you the people left behind in Venezuela now that are in charge of the police and everything else, I assure you they are gonna probably be a lot more compliant than Maduro was as a result of this."

So while David Suchet deserves all the Poirot praise, I gotta shout out the Fraser portrayal of Hastings and the Jackson portrayal of Japp. And Moran as Miss Lemon? The best.
