Three of the best journalistic entities that are covering all this nonsense right are a parody newspaper, a teen mag, and a magazine for nerds, and I am grateful for them (The Onion, Teen Vogue, and Wired)

“Asshole of the Game” by @charliekondek.bsky.social is a coming-of-age story that feels all too real to this Gen X’r. Hell, if Coach Buttermaker from The Bad News Bears could read Charlie’s tale, he’d lament not adding this method to his repertoire. Go read it at greatlakesreview.org/asshole-of-the…

So I went from “probably not gonna read it” to top-three in the @coyhall.bsky.social canon. What a travesty to miss this beautifully written book about truth and falsehood, creation and death, hive-mind and resistance, all with exemplary world-building and characterization. Recommended.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

One way to measure a film director is by the quality of the actor performances she or he presides over. John Badham was a good director.

Big news for me: Contributor copies of Sport Literate arrived. Amazing to see my essay Fallen Figures: Patterson-McNeeley, Dec 4, 1961 in print. And as part of their 30th anniversary issue, no less.

I suck at titles, but once in a while I’ll surprise myself with an absolutely brilliant one. Then I google it and learn it’s the title of a British crime novel from the 80s or a comic books series or an action movie.
