What's very funny to me is that by the time Part 2 posts, Sherlock & Co will be done with The Hound. But hey, I've got the Watsonian Weekly for digging into that! 😁

This was so much fun. Please go listen, and maybe drop us a review? Or a Patreon subscription? 😉

I appreciate @timmiller.bsky.social’s righteous anger and disgust at this moral insanity, because yes, we should be disgusted and we should be angry, and we’re not crazy for feeling those emotions.

I made this for a college assignment, 12 years ago. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows was still recent, and the last episode of Sherlock was "The Reichenbach Fall," so I went all out on a "Final Problem" theme.

I always did want to make a magazine. 😂 #SherlockHolmes #Sherlockians

That's... that's a lot. Good golly.

So, in the space of 24 hours, I:
• Got my 2nd invite to the BSI Dinner
• Found out that my car battery and front driver axle needed replacing. Repairs to the tune of $1K+.
• Landed a 2nd freelance gig.

That's a rollercoaster! Also within that time, we experienced a small but mighty Blue Wave.

Heading to bed shortly, but a quick update: With 98 of our 222 races called, we've got 72 wins.

Thank God, and thank you to the millions of voters who turned out to give us hope. 💙

When you said that having joy is an act of resistance, it really stuck with me. I think about that a lot now. ❤️‍🩹🙏🏼

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

LOL.

If true, NYC will be eligible for the Dept of Transportation funds earmarked for districts with high birth rates! #winning

I couldn’t love this image anymore. A mayor elect on a subway surrounded by a diverse group of people with a huge smile on his face. A tribute to a candidate who genuinely loves his city. So excited for you, NYC!!

I’m just saying that *if* somebody had wanted to put a curse on Dick Cheney, “On the day you die, may a Muslim immigrant Democratic Socialist become mayor of New York City” would be a pretty good one.

Thinking of this:

"I've heard it said that hope is the consequence of action more than its cause... Instead of waiting around for hope, we actually have an obligation — a responsibility — to build hope, and that hope is the result of what we do in this moment."

- Pete Buttigieg

💙💙💙💙

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

This one made me giggle.

The sheer irony is that I have a story idea kicking around in my head with the same basic structure, but the past would be way more recent, like the ’70s or ’80s. Dunno if I'm ever going to be able to write it, but it is funny that I still have the same idea when I've just been railing about it. 😂

And because WWII is... erm, not my thing... I have zero interest in these books, lol. With no offense to the books themselves or to the authors. I'm sure they're lovely stories and good writers. But yeah, zero interest.

I suppose I've come across the basic structure of "younger person meets older person with secrets and finds out/helps resolve things" before, but I've never seen it so persistent with regard to a specific gender for both characters and a specific time period for the older character.

Who started this, and did anybody decide it was a thing? Authors can't be writing these in a vacuum, can they? They have to know that other ones are out there, don't they?

Or is this a wider subgenre of historical fiction, of which I am only aware of the WWII examples? 👀

I stg, "younger woman in present day meets older woman with secrets, the story goes back in time to WWII, and the modern girl finds things out/helps resolve things" is such a weirdly persistent subgenre of WWII fiction. Every so often, a new one turns up on Amazon.

I couldn't enjoy the taste, then! 😂

I really enjoyed this one! Now I wish I could go see the show! Actually, I wish I could see all of them but of course The Hunt for Moriarty especially. 😁

It was great to talk to Nick from @blackeyedtheatre.bsky.social about his latest Sherlockian production. A must-see for anyone in the UK. Links to tour dates in the show notes bit.ly/DOD068sn.
