I just finished LUDWIG, a delightful comedic mystery show. It’s about a socially awkward puzzle designer who secretly assumes the identity of his missing twin brother — a Detective Inspector. It’s funny and inventive and the episodic cases are fantastic little puzzles. It’s streaming on BritBox.

Unfortunately I did not pay for Premium Grandma w/out Ads and had to settle for free Grandma, and she starts every conversation telling me it would be cool if I got a job with ICE.

How Ace Atkins mined his ’80s youth for spy thriller ‘Everybody Wants to Rule the World’ After focusing on his two series over the past decade, Atkins decided to write a comedic thriller about spies in Atlanta in 1985 and a teen protagonist based on himself.

3) The effort is the juice! The effort is the high! Mastery of a skill is an unparalleled buzz. "Having written" is nice yes, we all joke about that, but *the making is the pleasure*. Men who've never experienced that, trying to steal it because ironically *they do not know its value*, is a sin.

I appreciate that. Sometimes I get the itch to rewatch it again and I think, “but I *just* rewatched it.” Except that was over 3 years ago! I doubt I’ll tweet my way through it again. But I may do another show.

I appreciate that Stranger Things 5 chose to layer in a positive conversation that absolutely could not have happened between two midwestern queer kids in 1987. If we can save Sharon Tate and murder the Nazis, we can give queer Xers the childhood affirmation they didn't receive.

Ha! Appreciate the tag. And I agree completely with the original post.

Hey @patcasey.bsky.social — I overheard some parents talking at a Little League game today about how much they loved Violent Night and they wished there was a sequel. I got to deliver the good news to them!

Rereading a lot of Parker’s Spenser books and realizing that if it wasn’t for Parker I would be making comics. I did these doodles over a decade ago and shared with Ace atkins who was writing Spenser-that led to making Nick travers comics and my career

One of my faves for the same reason. And I love your Spenser sketches!

I saw this for the first time too. Loved it, even if most of it took place in broad daylight.

I just heard from someone at Netflix. TCM is apparently going with the other linear networks to Discovery Global.

Here is the official comment on what WBD assets will be acquired by Netflix:

"We are acquiring the film and television studios, HBO and HBO Max."

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.
