Barney Rosset is such a blisteringly difficult person to write about that this week's newsletter took me from lunchtime Friday till ALL EFFING WEEKEND. neonliterary.substack.com/p/an-unhinge...

Holy shit - not my girl @greenwell.bsky.social the @bookshop-org.bsky.social bestseller list four months before pub on the strength of her Bluesky preorder announcement alone 😭 I love this platform. bookshop.org/lists/booksh...

Also for this Sunday's @bostonglobe.com Books section, I spoke with @sarahjones.bsky.social about her important new book, DISPOSABLE, and how COVID exposed just how deadly this country is to people who aren't rich. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/21/a...

@sarahjones.bsky.social's book is a gorgeous memorial to the working people eaten up in the past 5 years and a chilling prophecy for what's to come. America eats up and destroys its poor BY DESIGN. If this wasn't plainly obvious to you before now, it will be by the time you finish DISPOSABLE.

Random question, but does anyone out there drive an Ioniq 5? Is it a nice enough car to make up for the wanton misuse of the letter Q?

If you're thinking about how (whether) to invest in social media now, you have to read this:

What’s going on with the privatization of the FAA is disturbing AF, *and* I feel like I am going insane watching so many brilliant people take up the patently right wing propagandistic narrative that we are in the middle of a “plane crash epidemic.” WE ARE NOT.

DC FOLKS: Please come out to hear the formidable @sarahjones.bsky.social talk about her new book on Thursday at People's Book in Takoma Park! And today is your last day to pre-order--which is the biggest way you can help support your fav authors. peoplesbooktakoma.com/event/dispos...

things are very bad right now, but the US also has advantages that other backsliding democracies haven't. the best example of this imo is our bafflingly decentralized elections system: there is literally no way for the federal govt to "cancel" a midterm election, bc the feds don't run elections

Not to harp on about that anglerfish or anything, but: “wildly concerning evidence of floundering oceanic current interpreted as inspirational metaphor by clueless public” is just the most :chef’s kiss: thing for 2025

Uhhhh does no one on TikTok understand that something was seriously fucked in that poor anglerfish’s brain, and it probably died in confusion and distress

“Our ancestors came here resisting the violence of empire and white supremacy. We have never, as a people, capitulated,’’ he said. “So when they came and vandalized our property, our ancestors stood up in us and we said, ‘No, we will not shrink.’"

Budget cuts "undermining your ability to do the basics of the job. Budget cutting that feels nonsensical and is not based in research and not based in what’s actually making you money is super common." Pumped for @greenwell.bsky.social's forthcoming book www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Reason #374646383 it is fine and okay to only change your name socially vs legally when you get married (if you decide to change it at all)

The book is also just beyond, FYI

I am extremely freaking thrilled to announce that Bad Company is *officially* available for preorder wherever you buy books. (I am linking to Bookshop but buy it wherever!) I worked so, so hard on this book, and it would mean a ton to me if you ordered it. bookshop.org/a/109816/978...

the “administrative state” in practice is a lot of very hard working, practically anonymous people doing the thankless work of making this country run and a drug-addled dipshit is slandering them in order to steal our money for himself

😱😱😱😱
