@NicoAtNight7 @lilacwinewml @taivillan @doubleveenus When she won her Emmy she was the youngest to win best actress (later, Zendaya was a tad younger).

“The novel’s strength lies in its sharp, efficient, and evocative prose, which keeps the tension high and the pages turning. Through Dragan’s keen yet understated perspective, the story unfolds with a blend of mystery, action, and deep character exploration.” 4/4

I see #CrimeFiction is trending. Let me add my 2025 release 'Nina's Friends' to the list. “The story is full of twists, shadowy allies, and tense moments... the European setting adds a cool atmospheric edge.” On Amazon - https://t.co/VUtkv9Atab 🧵1/4

“Those who love the classics – Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, for instance – will recognize the author’s influences, but this is an entirely modern thriller. The writing is clever, efficient, and engaging.” 3/4

@GPBinNL Do not, under any circumstances, watch season four.

@TinkererYorch @DiscussingFilm So you wanna troll but you say something stupid because you don't understand the film industry and are too lazy to look up credits, then backtrack and try to change your point entirely so you don't look like a fool. Right, got it.

Although there have been discussions & articles about Project 2025, VERY FEW focus specifically on Trump's plans for Black Americans

That's why I read all 922 pages of #Project2025 as well as #Agenda47

Here are the top 10 things I found:

Spend 5 minutes around Trump and the first thing you realize is how dumb he is, ditto his kids. The next thing you realize is he’s a racist, then a sexual predator. Then a criminal. He basically reveals all this very quickly to anyone who is paying attention. Folks generally have one of two reactions, there’s ‘yes Sir, Mr Trump’ of greasy dudes who think it’s cool and there’s the moral folks who are disgusted. He’s a conman. Vote Blue.

Trump remains thoroughly unfit for national office. Voting for him is shameful. https://t.co/uePeXM4hnI

Highlighting some recent series lead performances by women, that I liked and thought they were doing interesting and creative things with the material. https://t.co/g7gNLoZHQ7

(4) Do not watch season 4 for the love of all that is holy. It is a mind-dead, incompetent disaster by the writers, and the final showrunner is deeply hated by fans for what she did (I agree, I wouldn’t hire that woman to write ad copy for a St. Louis hair salon). 5/5

‘Killing Eve’ is now on Netflix. If you haven’t seen it for goodness sakes get on it. But remember each season had a different show runner, so here are the rules: 1/5 #killingeve #jodiecomer

(3) Comer and Sandra Oh are still terrific in season 3 but the writing loses the thread and most of the wit. Watch with caution, there is extensive creeping lameness. Now stop, please. I mean it this time. 4/5
