- So brilliant. I was looking for this clip to post elsewhere.
- Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue
- OK. LOL. DM me as soon as possible.
- Hmmm. I wonder if they are offering audio books made with AI for indie authors. I have a wonderful UK actor narrating my three novels set in Norway during WWII. I gladly support him in any of his work. It's get working with a real human.
- Well done.
- Does your Kestrel have blue on it? Ours in the Pacific NW does.
- It's always good to see what's going in other parts of the world. I don't think our media is talking about this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7tw...
- The fun part is going to Snohomish, WA and walk around where the series was filmed. There's a map, too.
- Dust off that #TwinPeaks bookshelf. Just finished re-reading this extraordinary book by @scottmeslow.bsky.social With a foreword by @harleypeyton.bsky.social, it tells the BTS journey of all three seasons and #FireWalkWithMe. As a hardcore / old school fan, even I gasped a handful of times.
- Congrats to all the finalists. I"m happy to see Helena P. Schrader's excellent series of historical novels on the list.
- My husband played pool with the group when they were in Honolulu/Waikiki back in 1970. We lived around the corner.
