Today’s watch

Ha ha thank you

😂

Yeah that was my assumption too. I once made a video about an Ira Levin book, so maybe that’s how they made the false connection

It really is!

Dear Ira Levin, Congratulations on your enduring masterpiece, The Stepford Wives. From the moment Joanna and her family arrive in Stepford, readers are drawn into a world that is at once idyllic and unsettling, a tension that has captivated audiences for decades. Your ability to blend psychological suspense with sharp social commentary ensures this story remains as chilling and relevant today as when it was first published. What makes The Stepford Wives exceptional is how it delivers a compelling narrative while also reflecting on societal obsession with perfection, youth, and conformity. The suspense, combined with your keen understanding of human psychology, keeps readers riveted and leaves a lasting impression long after the final page. Because this novel continues to resonate across generations, there’s strong potential to introduce it to new audiences through a focused visibility strategy. Here’s how I can help:

Someone has sent me an email, apparently believing I am Ira Levin, author of The Stepford Wives and Rosemary’s Baby.
I’m very confused.

I did not! It looks great!

I have a solution! Close the app in multi-tasking view and then open it again

Glad it’s not just me! Was really looking forward to playing it as it’s a great game

Book cover: Criminolly Presents: Trash Tales, an anthology of trashy fiction.

Title page in the Trash Tales anthology for Marc Ruvolo's short story "The Dromedary" plus his bio.

Got my contributor's copy of a new anthology put together by @criminolly.bsky.social containing my short story "The Dromedary," a grim Texas noir tale of the absurd. It's also the first thing I've published that has no supernatural elements. Proceeds go to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.

Ugh, I loved the new @nytimes.com game Pips yesterday, but today the hard puzzle is unplayable because the layout means you can’t see all the dominos (unless I’m missing something!)

Yeah, really well done

I just finished this and loved it

This is such an awesome edition

Im going to be trying my first by him soon (The Glamour)

Kid’s got taste! Great parenting

Oh cool, thank you!

What the Anglican church needs to be asking itself is why Trump didn't post an AI image of himself as the Archbishop of Canterbury

Daughter (17): did you hear about the power outage in Iberia?
Me (52): it wasn’t just Iberia, it was the whole of Spain!

Why won’t they televise the revolution tho? I feel like it would make for great tv

I did wonder that and checked Wikipedia which talks about Arnie wanting to change the line to “I will be back” rather than “I’ll be back”

😂

Checked and sounds like it was always I’ll be back in the script. In fact Arnie wanted to change it to I will be back as he had trouble saying “I’ll”

I wonder! Might have to see if I can find out

So close!
