@billmaher Agreed, Bill. The worst moment was when Gillibrand actually turned to the candidate at her side and said, "It's my turn," after she had been interrupting others all night long.

[Shawn Sullivan @sps328]

@StephenKing And a gift to us too, Mr. King. From one Mainer to another - - hello from Sanford - - thank you for continuing to share your talents with us these last 20 years.

@realDonaldTrump Why not just say Happy Father's Day, Mr. President? Why all the other stuff?

[Shawn Sullivan @sps328]

@jennafischer Sorry to hear that your show has been canceled. You're a wonderful actress, and we're all looking forward to your next project!

[Shawn Sullivan @sps328]

@StephenKing Your question has promoted quite a few emulsional responses, Mr. King.

When it comes to movies, people avoid spoilers. But TV shows? Not so much. #gameofthrones

@ConanOBrien I like lentils in my lentil soup. The soup's just not the same without them.

[Shawn Sullivan @sps328]

@soledadobrien I am not saying this as a Trump or Barr supporter, for I am most emphatically not either. But as a journalist, shouldn't you refrain from tweets like these and maintain a certain objectivity regarding the news you cover on air? Is your glee or amusement here appropriate?

[Shawn Sullivan @sps328]

@goodreads Georgia. I'm reading the first Jack Reacher novel.

[Shawn Sullivan @sps328]

@DieHard Best action film all time.

[Shawn Sullivan @sps328]

@MonicaLewinsky I turned 47 today and am hoping that's still considered young too.

[Shawn Sullivan @sps328]

@MonicaLewinsky Agreed! I read it for the first time last summer. I was so impacted by and impressed with it that I displayed it on top of my bookshelf as a tribute as a reminder of its messages, rather than just put it back among my other books.

[Shawn Sullivan @sps328]

@joe_hill US is incredible - - frightening, suspenseful, funny, twisty, and smart. My wife jumped a few times, and I did what I always do when a movie scares me: I laughed, reveling in the craftsmanship and in the exhilarating effect the story is having on me.

[Shawn Sullivan @sps328]

@joe_hill Agreed. I'm a bit behind and am only waking up now to how cool Twitter is, after years of primarily sharing my thoughts on Facebook.

[Shawn Sullivan @sps328]

@StephenKing "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy."

[Shawn Sullivan @sps328]

@goodreads The Tommyknockers, by Stephen King. I read it 30 years ago this month and figured I'd commemorate that occasion. It's far from King's best, of course, but I've never understood the bad rap it gets. I'm enjoying it.

[Shawn Sullivan @sps328]

@joe_hill In what way might Ranked Choice Voting have backfired? Is it possible it worked just fine but did not produce the winner you wanted?

[Shawn Sullivan @sps328]

@StephenKing Agreed! And the shortest one in years too!

[Shawn Sullivan @sps328]

@joe_hill Of course - - like the contestants in Survivor, Trump himself is a product of reality TV. Just as the movies gave us Reagan, so too has reality television given us Trump. In the future, we'll probably elect a president who today is a YouTube sensation.

[Shawn Sullivan @sps328]

@robreiner Mr. Reiner . . . all your tweets are about Trump. I don't like the guy either, at all, but as a follower of you here on Twitter and as someone who regards a lot of your films as truly great, I'm curious about your thoughts on other matters in this world, as well . . .
