I am tired of spinoffs *unless* those spinoffs are about fun character or characters solving crimes. Like no way do I ever want another chapter of Mad Men but I will absolutely accept "Peggy Olson solves crimes"

THE LITTLE BOOK OF CLEANING TIPS, Leah N. Miles: A refreshingly straightforward, practical guide great for those new to housekeeping but with nuggets that will appeal to even folks who know a million baking powder tricks. https://t.co/p9yoKP4H3p

Re: #4 - normally I would be very "original cast or GTFO" but in this case nah, cough up the money to cast with icons. Give us Beyoncé, Lily, Adele, Cardi or Meghan, Ari or Britney, and Alicia or Janelle.

Pop culture wishes for 2023, GO. Some of mine:

1. More of The @AmberMRuffin Show on @peacock, thank you very much
2. For HBO Max to chill the F out
3. More good characters who aren't cops solving crimes
4. Big screen adaptation of SIX, just a concert film, don't overthink it

Long-haulers: If you've got suggestions of any kind for dealing with hair loss and/or mega brain fog, I would dearly love to hear them.

(If you're not dealing with long COVID, this is not aimed at you, but if you want to send good thoughts through the ether...) #LongCovid

@SteveRudden It's absolutely not meaningless to contribute to him being publicly humiliated by this poll.

@StephPostAuthor It was a whole thing, sometimes they would just randomly get Living Dead Dolls that were hard to find. There was a huge resale market. Fascinating.

And I would look at but not buy Manic Panic.

[Allison Shoemaker @allisonshoe]

@petersob13 @ebertvoices @realsarahpolley great list

[Allison Shoemaker @allisonshoe]

@laurenjcoates This is advice I wouldn't take because I panic about stuff like this but... make it a crop? As a noted non-stick I don't love how I look in a lot of sweaters/sweatshirts, but if they're cropped suddenly I'm a bad bitch.

Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell.

Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

[Allison Shoemaker @allisonshoe]

@AADowd Not sure I'm going to have one this year, maybe I'll do a Letterboxd list or something.
