🎉Today marks two years of no meat and no alcohol for me. I made both resolutions at the start of 2020 not knowing what was coming ahead. Like everyone I struggled and fell short on a few fronts in 2020 and 2021, but I’m very proud that I stuck to both of those!

@stu_turton @Gabino_Iglesias What a delight last night was! Read Last Murder on the train home and then until I couldn't keep my eyes open. What a fantastic read and can't put it down!

[Brian Cookstra @BCookstra]

@stu_turton @Gabino_Iglesias I am SO EXCITED for this!! My copy comes into my local bookseller Friday, but I'm going to also try to be at Thursday's NYC event!

[Brian Cookstra @BCookstra]

@stu_turton Oh shoot! We’re out of town that whole week. But just preordered your new novel from our local @SplitRockBks bookseller!

[Brian Cookstra @BCookstra]

@stu_turton Preordering today!!! And was crestfallen to learn from your website that you’re not yet making a stop in NEW York

[Brian Cookstra @BCookstra]

@jfruh Just wait until they get to Aldo Kelrast

@jeffvandermeer I had this discussion over the weekend! A friend said it was his least favorite of the trilogy and I said it was my favorite, because the depiction of government bureaucracy was just TOO accurate, right down to the individual characters

[Brian Cookstra @BCookstra]

@Meyer_HM I remember your first piece on this well. This is such a common sense thing.

[Brian Cookstra @BCookstra]

@WatchItPlayed Oh my gosh this guy kept doing the F/UF thing to ME too so much that I was baffled by him and blocked him years ago too. What a nut, I’m sorry you’re dealing with this and thank you for all that you do!!

@ElectProject GOP: why did you poop in my pants from my own butt?

DC Pundits: They make a good point

@thechasesmith @adamthebull @UpNextPodcast If this isn’t like an episode 7/8 twist and we think “oh wait is it HOWARD?” only to go on another tangent, then I bet anything this is going to be the final twist

[Brian Cookstra @BCookstra]

@pattymo You got the dud!!

@zacestrada @seandoherty I refuse to post the cursed “oh happy horse” video

@j_smithcameron I clicked on the link *HOPING* it was that scene from IAMMMMW, and was absolutely delighted

@JamesUrbaniak Co-starring @julieklausner as Brett Somers and @billyeichner as Gene Rayburn

[Brian Cookstra @BCookstra]

@JamesUrbaniak Gritty biopic of Charles Nelson Reilly starring @JamesUrbaniak in the main role

[Brian Cookstra @BCookstra]

@SER1897 Stop this I hate how realistic this seems

[Brian Cookstra @BCookstra]

@DavidHMandel Sooooo good. We’ve been catching up and I’m astounded that this hasn’t been on everyone’s Best of 2023 list so far. The best mix of hilarious and thrilling.

I take off my Submarine Expert hat to put on my Russia Understander hat, but no! You fools! They are the same hat
