Would 100% watch a sitcom in which Cuomo and Dershowitz end up roommates, Dershowitz is denied a pierogi every episode in exactly the same way, and Cuomo runs for successively lower-stakes office each week, only to lose again.

Wow, I read/listened to some great books in June. My favourite for this month (and possibly this year) is Catherine Chidgey's amazing 'The Book of Guilt' which I read a physical copy of. #BookSky

Incredible aerial scene from San Diego where a massive crowd of 20,000+ protesters are marching through the streets for the No Kings Day rally against Donald Trump.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.
We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Harriet Walter, who has played many of Shakepeare's woman, has imagined speeches for them, exploring their deeper feelings and motivations. I actually preferred the sections preceding her imaginative takes, where Walter discusses the characters, the plays and her experiences on stage. #booksky

From the first paragraph, All Fours by Miranda July had me hooked, but as the story progressed and got progressively weirder, I was less engaged. Still, I would recommend All Fours to particular people, but not generally. What I admired most about it was July's courage as a writer.

Meta is trying to stop the distribution of this memoir by Sarah Wynn-Williams. I just downloaded the audio version on @librofm. Buy it if you can, order it from your local bookshop, request it everywhere: #booksky #stopbanningbooks #besubversivereadabook #bookbanning #meta #oligarchs

In The Trees, Everett plays with genre and form (in a manner that brings to mind the film Get Out) while incisively exposing racism in America. It's moving, unique and a page-turner. @percivaleverett.bsky.social #BookSky #BookSkyBooks #BeSubversiveReadABook

Repubs are running away from their own town halls like Josh Hawley fleeing an insurrection.
Meanwhile, Senator Bernie Sanders is barnstorming through Red states, drawing sell-out crowds for his "Fight Oligarchy" tour.
This is how you represent Americans.

Stunning reaction to my new #StarterPack But still lots of space left. Just ask if you'd like to be included. Otherwise, please help out these fine writers by liking and circulating widely. And they're all terrific and well worth following #booksky #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity #writers #agents

Apple has opted iOS and MacOS users into an AI photo scanning feature which tries to extract landmarks from your photos called Enhanced Visual Search by default with little notice.
