Book 6 of 2026 💙📚: Pears and Perils by Drew Hayes. I think this is one of his first couple of books. It's silly, but I'm a sucker for his stuff.

Book 5 of 2026 💙📚: Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein. Despite the cover I picked here, I read the 1961 edition, not the 1991 uncut edition.

Book 4 of 2026 💙📚: The Tiger and the Cosmonaut by Eddy Boudel Tan. More litfic than I generally go in for, but it was nominated for the Giller Prize last year. A bit mystery; a lot of 'coming home' and dealing with family and identity, in this case a queer Chinese-Canadian.

Well, I just finished my reread of Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land for the podcast and I found that I did not hate it like I did when I first read it when I was 18 or 19. (There are many things I did not like, but it was also more interesting than I remembered.)

Jamelle Bouie: National Treasure.
Jamelle Bouie posted a great video about how he's not going to engage with anyone claiming Good's murder was self-defense, or she was trying to ram the ICE officer with her car, etc.
I think that's exactly right. It is not good for the human soul to humor or debate bald-faced, knowing lies.

/12 If you think it is obvious that the videos prove murder and nobody can say otherwise, your view is based on how you want the system to be, not how it is. It will be brutally hard, fighting inch by inch against what America is, to convict Jonathan Ross. Your feelings don’t enter into it.

Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already:
If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder.
It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO.

So here’s the order of events:
Renee Good: “I’m not mad at you.”
*ICE officer shoots her in the face*
ICE officer: “F**king b*tch”
Trump: “It’s a miracle he’s alive”
Vance: “She was a domestic terrorist.”

I do not normally repost things from the fucking democrats, but it is worth noting (if you do not want to watch it, which I GET) that the video does show that her last words really were this.
And the shooter called her a 'fuckin bitch' after he'd shot her.

the ICE officer calling a woman he just murdered a “fucking bitch” is visceral, but imo the most material new information in the latest video is that she very clearly turns the wheel away from the officer right before it happens

I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.
