YouTube video by The Stone Roses - Topic Fools Gold (Remastered 2009)

I'm not an enormous fan of the stone roses but this tune is one of our generations greats, whenever it comes on the radio I'm singing the bass part (in my head, with my teeth). The fella could play and he played with feeling

While writing my first novel, I held onto a line from the movie, Field of Dreams: "If you build it, they will come."

As in, "If you write it, they will publish it."

It kept me going. And now I have an offer on the table.

Build it. They will come 🙏

An open book lying on a work surface. There is a full page illustration on the left (and this is a 14 inch or 35 centimeter tall book) and a meticulously written page of text on the right. The book is a facsimile, printed in 2001, of the 1493 German language edition of a history of the world.

It's a complete facsimile of a hand-tinted 1493 Nuremberg Weltchronik, and I think... you might have to arm wrestle me for it.

(...That's not a meek threat coming from someone who can lift 4 OED volumes off an overhead shelf in one motion.)

obvious, but needs to be repeated 😏

So, I won a National Book Award.

What a treasure

An illustration of a young women yanking a weed out of a bed of marigolds. The primary colours of the piece are deep green and a saffron yellow, with some brown and moss green tones as well. The camera is looking up at the young girl with a forced perspective, as she pulls out the weed while leaning back. The text reads: PULL FASCISM UP BY THE ROOT.

I’m not one to horn-toot but I am so happy to have received my first Emmy nomination for this show and for these characters I love playing so dang much... and so very grateful to be sharing a category with my incredible friends.

I was convinced this would never happen.

I treasure this nomination.

Very powerful story about the persecution and murder of innocent immigrants by corrupt nations by Gerry Conway @gerryconway.bsky.social with some great art by Sal Buscema.

Common Moorhen with a chick swimming in water with gentle ripples. The adult has a bright red patch on its forehead and a yellow-tipped beak with white streaks mark its sides. Close beside it, a small, fuzzy chick follows that is mostly black with a hint of downy texture and red beak.

Stay well, my son.

Obviously of the great films about mid-century moral discontent. Terrific performances from Burton and Taylor. Bang up supporting cast work from George Segal and Sandy Dennis.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I had previously avoided getting any of my “key issues” CGC Signatures but decided this book was worth nabbing Roy Thomas’ signature and getting it slabbed for all posterity.

Getting a 6.5 on a book I’ve owned for 30 years was icing.

Beyond sad.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.
