My new novel is set in Saranac Lake, NY, in 1916. In the 1890s, S.L. inaugurated a winter carnival to entertain the TB patients in the sanitarium. It included a magnificent ice palace. I loved seeing it, and it ended up playing a significant role in Bad Juliet. #winterstories

Sorry Kellogg's. Raisin Bran has always been my favourite cereal, but as long as your government keeps threatening and insulting my country, well, buh-bye! #boycottusa #buycanadian #impeachtrump2025 #arrestelonmusk

This is horrific to see. And any news organization that resorts to any sort of euphemism to describe this is absolutely failing everyone.

Saw this review of a How-To vid while looking up ways to repair a favourite pair of boots. "Sometime I watch a repair video of something and think nice but whatever. Sometimes I watch one and I'm impressed. This is one of those times."

This ludicrous “election interference” lawsuit by Donald Trump against the Des Moines Register and its top pollster would be laughable if it weren’t such a lamentable threat to freedom of the press and such a scary harbinger of the coming autocracy www.axios.com/2024/12/17/t...

The fact that we're pretty sure Donald Trump won't divest his businesses doesn't mean he should get a pass. It still will be a national security risk, a source of corruption, and a violation of the constitution. That's why CREW called on him today to divest.

Daniel Penny, an ex-Marine, choked to death Jordan Neely, a slender 30-year-old street performer having a breakdown on the F train. Now, writes Dave Zirin, Penny is a right-wing folk hero who sits with Trump at the Army-Navy game.

NEW: We just sent Donald Trump a letter demanding that he divest from his businesses before taking office in January. If he doesn't divest, he will violate the Emoluments Clauses of the Constitution.

MAGA is a death-cult, friends. Pure and simple. These are nihilists who want to burn the whole world to ash.
