If you are shopping today, I wanted to remind you that I wrote a book that is a CASE FILE MYSTERY--something you can give to anyone who likes mysteries. It is also VERY BEAUTIFUL. You can find it at ANY BOOKSTORE, but why not shop an INDIE BOOKSTORE TODAY?

The Creeping Hand Murder - Maureen Johnson
This is not a novel. This is a casefile. Have you ever thought you could solve a murder if you were given all the evidence? Well, this is your chance. YOU are the detective.

Also I got to stay for a Q&A with @rianjohnson.bsky.social thanks to the fact that the manager is a reader and @sayswhopodcast.com fan so basically I’ve had the best night ever. Go see it. It is incredible. And will make you happy.

It’s even better than Knives Out. It’s so good on so many levels. It’s the locked room mystery to heal 2025 maybe?

It is happening. Thank you @rianjohnson.bsky.social

When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

600 ICE agents were supposed to be deployed to Canal Street. Hundreds of New Yorkers gathered instead.

Quick summary by me:

Confirmed: Earlier this morning a photog overheard agents inside the parking garage say “dismissed,” believed to be calling off their planned mass raid.

A source tells me they had planned for *hundreds* of agents to flood Canal St. They got flooded instead.

Lots of shoving from NYPD to create an empty area for ICE to RETREAT after their planned raid got exposed

LRAD now ordering dispersal outside parking garage to force dispersal.

ICE still FROZEN at Centre St & Howard in lower Manhattan right now as calls continue circulating for people to join.

My pumpkin pie turned out dark, but that is because I used a vegan recipe that didn't have a lot of condensed milk in it. This is pumpkin, coconut cream, and many NICE AND SPICY THINGS. Very pleased with the crust.
