Junior high gym class test: we stood at the free throw line and had to throw basketballs into the hoop. Get all five, A; miss one, B; miss two, C; etc. Of course I missed them all and it ruined my grade.

I've noticed lately that the PCHH hosts have to read a request for reviews at the top of almost every episode—but I did rate PCHH five stars anyway, a few months ago, before the asks began. I figure if I've been listening to a podcast for several years, it's worthy of five stars.

Someone on the Connections team must be a power pop fan

In today’s NYT Connections, see if you can find an indie/power pop icon band name and both titles of one of their albums.

Awful, and I hate the fact that I will most likely never quit watching the show

As an Anglophile you should check out Nish Kumar. He has a special on YouTube. I drove five hours to see him perform this in L.A. youtu.be/3PZsPqrfRlc?...

I'm always happy to support you!! I may not get around to it right away because the Swedish literature class I'm taking via Zoom has a bunch of required reading, but I look forward to it when it's time for a break 😀

I accidentally bought this while logged into a client's account!! (I frequently help people with their Author Central pages or uploading to KDP.) When I realized, I clicked "bought by mistake," sent an apologetic email to the client, logged into my own Amazon account, and purchased it again.

If you haven't heard of this movie — or if you don't know anything about it — I strongly suggest you go in completely cold. I think you'll be surprised and delighted, as I was.

My only claim to fame is that I acted in a high school production of Arsenic and Old Lace with her. She was way cooler than I was.

Immediately announcing a price hike for D+ was certainly a choice

It’s been going around for a day or so, but you really need to watch this Dutch late-night show’s parody of MAGA Disney. It’s brutal and honestly better than anything our comedy shows have done this week (though Colbert had a cute riff on Be Our Guest)

The fictional former host of The Colbert Report returned to The Late Show Thursday night to warn late-night hosts to “Shhhhhh!” as Kimmel’s suspension looms over the time slot.

My garage door has an app. Thank goodness it also came with an old fashioned remote, since there's no way I'm installing that thing.

My husband was there once on a business trip, and he says it's just a regular old office building inside. I kind of hoped the whole thing would be whimsical...?

If you could get just one more season of any cancelled show, which would you pick?

Literally had to subscribe through Amazon because the app kept logging me out. Fortunately that made it easy to unsubscribe after The Gilded Age finale.
