Gone back and forth on if it’s 3.5* or 4*, and am going with the lower rating. Why? It’s got some great acting, and it’s got some great directing, but I don’t think it has a great script. Everything a...

To judge by the editorials, there is no daylight between Rupert Murdoch and Jeff Bezos. The worse it looks to be aligned with Trump the angrier Jeff’s editorials.

I just sent a client the contract for her first book deal. She's been on my list for over six years and we've had so many near misses, so this deal is super special.
It's also my first ADULT Romantasy sale, so this kidlit agent's list is growing up!
Feeling really proud today. Celebrate the wins.

Actually, Scott is the main reason why I have chosen to skip
this one.

Scott Cooper has built an impressive filmography over the years, making movies that touch upon childhood trauma and the pursuit of a belated grace. @pamelachelin.bsky.social spoke to him. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
Bruce Springsteen wanted a 'Scott Cooper movie.' We asked the director what that is
Filmmaker Scott Cooper talks to us about getting the Boss' blessing on "Deliver Me From Nowhere," working with Jeremy Allen White and how his movies resist easy answers.

But cede that point, & it conveniently ignores the dishonesty, the changing stories, the contempt.

We in NYC got an ad in Survivor 49.4 preceded by a “not anything to do with CBS or Survivor” disclaimer. It was an @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ad where the tribe voted off Cuomo, ending with “didn’t we vote him off already.”
