I went looking for books on Venezuela today because that's always my first instinct and practically everything is from an academic press, or out of stock AND from a publisher whose politics I don't trust

Wouldn't it be cool if the Senate majority leader (one of my senators!) accepted voicemails after office hours and on weekends?
Call your Congressperson now. It will be logged as “Holy cow we got X calls on the week end”. If they’re Dems they need these calls to pressure worse Dems & better Republicans. Don’t give up the ship yall.
Candid answer - as someone who handled constituent affairs calls for years - while they’re not checking the phone right now, the urgency of the moment is important.
Show them you care enough to make the weekend call, and be counted that way. Staffers will clock and report this upstream.

I know it's just tourist helicopters overhead but we've just illegally invaded a foreign country and kidnapped their president and I don't appreciate the additional anxiety triggers

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Is the best thing to come out of the gay hockey show the author finally getting the medical care she needs?
I hate that this is a feel good story & not an indictment of the fact that you need to be very rich or know the right people to get specialized care but I live in the real world so 🤷♀️

Why are there three private helicopters hovering over midtown right now (SW corner of Central Park + mid W 50s) and a third that buzzed my neighborhood and now is slowly going down the east river, and all left Linden about a half hour ago

People are sharing what they are proud of from 2025. I bought myself basketry materials for the first time in 25ish years and made some things and taught a few other people to make some things

The Veronica Mars mystery novel (first one at least) was a NYT best seller
We did so much better with Heat 2 than I expected
I realize this headline is bait but I am in fact the fish who swallows this particular bait as a bookseller, reader, and lifelong Cameron fan

James Cameron has said he’ll write Avatar novels himself, although doesn’t think there’s a business case for books anymore. https://bit.ly/4pScKIN
