I can’t imagine that, at the time, anyone in the writers room understood that that’s what they were doing, although I suspect it was autobiographical for at least one of them, and probably even most of them, let’s face it

@againwiththispodcast.com I’m fascinated by how the writers on this season of Dawson’s Creek have inadvertently managed to write Pacey as struggling with both ADHD and others’ utter failure to recognise either his struggle or its source

Are you SURE you didn’t accidentally book a room in a nursing home?

I look forward to the glorious day that her bag is delivered of a bouncing baby purse

I just encountered a woman who has her bag on a seat on the train

So far, so what? I hear you thinking

Her bag had a seat, but she was standing

Her bag was occupying a priority seat

Aah, finally some good news

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

I am grateful for the reminder that Push the Button fucken SLAPS

I gave up on this season about three minutes into the second episode, because I got sick of constantly hearing “let’s go”

Ironically, what tipped me over the edge was someone using the phrase in the normal way

Right? It’s WILD

Oops, forgot Aaron Eckhart

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Doctor Who,” or “Transformers.”

Damn, this episode of Frasier has Wendie Malick, Laura Linney, Marian Seldes AND Jennifer Tilley

Quite the embarrassment of riches

ID: Screenshot of the cover art. The background is black and the author and title are block capitals, inverted to expose a deeper background. The author name reveals a lurid pink, and the title reveals an equally lurid LA; ‘bury’ shows a blue and pink sky, ‘your’ shows the sky turning orange behind the tops of palm trees, and ‘gays’ shows the lower trunks of the palms, a stretch of beach and the ocean. Interposed over and under the text is a sledgehammer dripping with rivulets of glistening blood Across the top of the cover is the text, “USA Today bestselling author of Camp Damascus”, with the strap line “You can make a killing in Hollywood” across the bottom

She wears a black, short-sleeved shirt, paired with a large feathered hat and a mismatched fur stole, which she is clutching over her opposite shoulder as she stares off to our right

I’m so glad Bluesky tagged that grisly image as graphic media

Otherwise I might have been traumatised by (checks notes) … a dog with a rubber chicken in their mouth

Angela Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher, posing as Marguerite Canfield in the first episode of Murder, She Wrote, season 2. She wears a very draping lavender gown, with matching turban, because of course, with dangling pearl earrings and a triple string of pearls. Not pictured, her vast diamond ring

My grandparents absolutely had one of these under the sink. I have definite memories of it

New drag name has dropped:

ID: Photo of the book cover, showing a small rock formation on top of a low rise in an otherwise flat landscape of dry grass, with a figure of indefinite gender walking down the far side of the rise. The landscape is dwarfed by the vast, cloudy sky. The cover has badges for the shortlists of the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards and The Booker Prize, and the text “From the Stella Prize-winning author of The Natural Way of Things and The Weekend”

I thought you may have been exaggerating. And then I saw the first episode, and was horrified to learn that no you were not

ID: Photo of the cover of the 1965 Methuen Modern Plays edition. It has a blue border and features a production shot of a man holding a dining chair above his head, and being restrained by another man, who is slightly blurry due to being in motion when the picture was taken

#nowreading THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, by Harold Pinter #malewriter #play

ID: Photo of the book cover. It is yellow, with the title and Dr Cheng’s name in white, and the subtitle in red, as is the attribution, “author of How to Bake Pi”. The O in Joy is made up of two red arrows pointing to each other in a circle, and the word “Abstraction” disappears off the right-hand edge of the book, continuing on the next line from the left. Red arrows appear from the edges to the beginning of “Joy” and the end of “Abstraction”

But how old was he, AP?

I’m just relieved that is not because he did a Bad

Oh yes.

Although, and I’m reluctant to ask a question where I may not like the answer, what happened to Rodger Corser?

I love the way he captures motion, whether it’s dancing, walking, or just a hem stirred by a breeze
