Legendary detective Lt Columbo adjusting his tie while holding a trenchcoat

BUILD THE STATUE NOW #ColumbosDay

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

“If the car’s gone,”

“I’ll give you another cookie anyway”

“because I love you.”

Happy Columbo’s Day

Happy Columbo Day to all who celebrate by the traditional means of having long pointless conversations, talking with your Dog, and spending time with your wife. Remember to enjoy one more thing before you go!

The Making of “Adaptation” When your quirky book becomes a quirkier movie.

At first, Susan Orlean was hesitant to sign on to “Adaptation.” Then she changed her mind. “I began to feel as if I had been offered a ticket for a very strange amusement-park ride, one that I might later regret not taking,” she writes.

Embarrassed to say I have only read The Name of the Rose, but that it’s one of my favorites! I’ll have to read the others asap.

Fixed!

The crime Lucas committed was when he swindled the studio into giving him full merchandising so he could “print T-shirts to promote the movie.” Devious!

No no— courageous! Bravely standing up for what they believe in the face of enormous pressure from their annoying users to care about things like freedom and civil rights.

I think it’s very important for our souls to treat anybody at the ER regardless of means.

I’m gonna get a little political here and say something controversial: This is really bad!

paying a company to appoint its chosen minister, perhaps the most corrupt action imaginable

Friedkin used to pass the counterfeit bills from that film!

The book cover is very dynamic, Three children are running towards you, two have determined expressions but the third looks worried. They are running through a dark library across a spotlight on the floor, a ferret in the right bottom corner looks at the reader, with a smile... The central character is a white girl with blond hair, she is holding a magnifying glass and is wearing a brown trilby and a brown mackintosh coat, over blue jeans. The ginger-haired boy on the left is wearing school uniform and the Black boy on the right is wearing a red jumper over a white collared shirt. He is wearing glasses and is glancing off to the side, looking concerned.

😂😂😂 this was a hoot! #SleuthsOnTheLoose by @gtkarber.bsky.social & @chrisgrab.bsky.social will perk up anyone's weekend!

Look at that beautiful blue sky! ⏰☠️ Wake Up Dead Man, the new Benoit Blanc mystery. Thanksgiving in theaters, 12/12 on Netflix. More to come very soon…

I don’t understand why they let Pips have multiple solutions, which means guess and check is essentially the required solving strategy.

Do you take something every day? Or is it a in-case-of-emergency-break-glass kind of thing?

I asked my doctor if she’d prescribe me and she sent me a list of 10 psychiatrists who would and I thought, Wow, I’m never gonna be able to evaluate this.

Fortunately we are making great strides in the war on catlessness

the complete embrace of nihilism and the rejection of being genuine is the greatest danger to humanity right now

"I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library."
Jorge Luis Borges, born on this day in 1899

People keep telling me it’s way too hard. But if it’s any consolation, the story is way too silly, too.

Thank you so much!

Hopefully you didn’t block Fozzie!

That reminds me of this Onion article

Adjusting corporate tax rates is the opposite of bottom up innovation, sir.

He wrote an intro to a John Dickson Carr book I believe, for the Mysterious Bookshop!

A very happy publication day to @gtkarber.bsky.social and MURDLE THE CASE OF THE SEVEN SKULLS!

Nothing has measured the quick passage of time more devastatingly than this. I thought the dev time was forever, and I thought it came out yesterday.
