Who are Ian Fleming and @realjohnlecarre.bsky.social? ONCE AGAIN, the clue writers on @Jeopardy drop a le Carré into the game, this time for Final Jeopardy. Someone on the show is such a le Carré Superfan and I'm so here for it. ♥️

The simple but striking colors in Matt Taylor's covers for the @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social paperbacks of the @realjohnlecarre.bsky.social books make them perfect for digital puzzling. Tinker Tailor is my favorite of the bunch, though A Perfect Spy is a very close second. ♥️

Very sad to learn about the passing of legendary attorney Ted Olson. Ted represented me and CNN in our battle to recover my press pass after it was seized by the Trump WH. He was confident we had the constitution on our side. Ted was a force for good. RIP. www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...

This is the @harkaway.bsky.social interview we've all be waiting for, Sam Briger does a phenomenal job coaxing humor, joy, and melancholy from his guest. And finally a few words on the origin of the Harkaway pseudonym! Please give this a listen! www.khsu.org/2024-10-23/a...

This is basic Emperor's New Clothes criteria: If you, as a reporter, can't make sense of a presidential candidate deciding to dance (slightly) to music for 40 minutes as opposed to answer questions at a Q&A event, you are part of the posse admiring his amazing clothes

Now that I've completed extensively rebuilding the Ancillary Writing Parlor (or AWP Room, for short*), it's time to get back to work on the book. * Only #TinkerTailor fans will get this.

listen, raising kids is hard as hell but then are moments like this evening when i was sitting with my son, and he was leaning back on me and telling me about his day, and when it was time to say his favorite part, he paused, thought for a moment and said “right now is the best part of my day.” 🥹

Counting down the days to KARLA'S CHOICE by @harkaway.bsky.social, turned up these old snaps from Karla's desk at Moscow Centre. Looking forward to seeing what he was up to in the years before Tinker Tailor.

A favorite booktokker put PALADIN'S GRACE by @tkingfisher.bsky.social on their Best of 2023 list and now I'm plunging delightedly through the whole Saint of Steel series. Absolutely loving it, charming and funny and weird and just delightful! ❤️

Happy third birthday to this absolute unit, who started out as a cuddly little handful and is now 5'2" on his back feets. Love you, sweet boy. Best boy ever.

I'm sorry, @nytimes.com, but I've had numerous bouts of this unpleasant illness, it should absolutely be a legitimate Spelling Bee word.

Just topped 40,000 words in this year's NaNoWriMo. 80% trash words, but incredibly pleased with the 20%. Some gold to be mined in this dross.

Trying to read on a chilly, misty October morning. Chewie is having none of it and would like me to please look at his face.

Wishing I could hashtag this, but I'll just say it: NO MAPS FOR THESE TERRITORIES is on Tubi, you must watch it immediately. @greatdismal.bsky.social punching darts in the back of a chauffeured car, talking about the future. Weird and wild and wonderful and a perfect techno time capsule.

Ass on couch. Feet on floor. Head on table. Chewie has mastered the Three Point Beg.

Listening to The Imperial Radch series on Audible for the second time and could not be more stunned by Adjoa Andoh's flawless narration. Curious, @annleckie.com, if you provided detailed pronunciation guidance prior to her reading or if she had carte blanche to go it alone? I'd be terrified! 😬

So appreciative of @orbitbooks.bsky.social and their dedication to spinal cohesion in their HC serieses. This stretch of @aptshadow.bsky.social and @abraham.bsky.social (sorry, Ty, I couldn't find you here!) fills me with aesthetic and literary joy in equal measure.

Kevin McCarthy may be one of the stupidest humans in Congress, and -- like that orange buffoon John Boehner before him -- has absolutely no idea WTF he's doing. He's very, very bad at his job. Utter clown.
