Having read and enjoyed Matt for years, this is really terrible news. But I did partake in some retail therapy at his bookstore, which is also a great reminder of how much incredible film and tv criticism is out there if you want to find it

You don’t need the 20 seconds you gain by skipping the credits sequence - The Boston Globe Rewatching "30 Rock" is a good exercise in reminding yourself that the credits help get you in the mood for the show.

Greg Davies and Alex Horne on taking β€˜Taskmaster’ on the road and who their most enthusiastic contestant was - The Boston Globe The cohosts bring a live version of the show to the Wilbur on Jan. 17.

β€˜Heated Rivalry’ is a love story, but often a sad one - The Boston Globe HBO Max's queer hockey romance provides a welcome jolt of new energy at a quiet time of year on TV.

The phone continued to work despite how much food I spilled on it while cooking, so I assume it enjoyed the pumpkin

The surface of your phone can have a little pumpkin goop, as a treat

In the book I believe she grows up using various oils instead. I am aware this is not helpful or pertinent to your question

Wordled in one today, first time ever. Thrilling, like watching the dvd logo hit the corner of the screen perfectly

HA that's amazing. She was great, it was a really good event. Took my interest from "nice, new Alix Harrow!" to "oooh this is moving up the to-be-read list." Enjoy!

I just went to an Alix Harrow event where she name dropped it as an influence for her new book and my interest (in a book I had already purchased, to be clear) increased significantly
