You can’t make this shit up

We couldn't keep it.

I guess if you don't view immigrants as people, it might make sense to store them in shipping containers. Like freight. www.semafor.com/article/02/0...

Here’s the pitch: They hire back the accidentally-fired bird flu folks *and* the accidentally-fired nuclear security guys BUT they put them in each other’s jobs — also by accident! It’s TRADING PLACES meets FAILSAFE meets CONTAGION — and maybe also FREAKY FRIDAY! Need a title.

I'm reopening in March to editing and writing-mentoring clients. Sale through March 1st: $300 for 5 hours at the 2009 price = a free hour. Book and pay now, I'll bank it till you're ready. DM with Qs. (Camp Lipizzan is not available at this time.) capriole.smoe.org

We have to do this differently this time around, and one of the ways I hope that we do that is by collectively understanding that people can care about two things at once (or even, gasp, MORE than two things) especially while people are out there banning books: TALK ABOUT BOOKS!

We’re not going to call it the Gulf of America. Some thoughts on the latest episode of “The Jim Acosta Show.”

if you told me there had already been 7 seasons of "White Lotus", I would believe you

Delighted to say that ‘Only One Word for Love’, a short play I’ve co-written with Peter Souter, will air on R4 tomorrow afternoon at 14.15. It stars the wonderful Jessica Raine and Rupert Evans too. We’d all love it if you gave it a listen. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

A 71-year-old woman has died after her oxygen supply was abruptly cut off in response to the United States’ freeze on USAID funding. Pe Kha Lau, a refugee from Myanmar living in a displacement camp in neighboring Thailand, died only four days after she was forcibly discharged from a…

Trump is the first president to constantly wear makeup. Lol

my view is that as soon as the administration froze disbursement of congressional appropriations we entered constitutional crisis territory

in retrospect it's shocking that they pulled Matt Gaetz

I wrote some books People think they're good You should buy them

Google Calendar has removed key cultural events from their site including: • Pride Month • Black History Month • Holocaust Remembrance Day • Jewish Heritage • Hispanic Heritage • Indigenous People Month

Just a heads up, there is a bill in congress right now HR 722, that would ban abortion nationwide, and potentially IVF and birth control depending on how they word it. It has 70 R co-signers. I argued with MANY maga during the election saying that they would never do this but, here we are! 🙄🤬

THREE MILES DOWN takes place in 1974-75. It's got the Cold War, a sunken Soviet sub, the Hughes Glomar Explorer, Watergate...and the alien ship that sank the sub. www.amazon.com/Three-Miles-...

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Today I will have some news for you about the FBI agents who are suing the DOJ to keep their personal information from being published. Stay tuned!

I feel like a bunch of bears just started running the government and half of us are like "don't worry, bears don't even know how to read. What can they do?" and the other half are like WELL THE BEARS JUST ATE THE CONSTITUTION

Things being as they are, I'll mention IN THE PRESENCE OF MINE ENEMIES, too. It's set in early 21st-century Berlin in a world where the Nazis won...And the last hidden Jews are trying to survive as fascism is starting to break down under its own weight. www.amazon.com/Presence-Min...
