Fun interview about my latest novel, with lots of history — Eleanor of Aquitaine, the Secnd Crusade, the Templars etc, including the burning question: did or didn’t she sleep with her uncle?
(Fun to do. Still haven’t dared listen. Tell me what you think)

She’s glad Trump Is blowing up boats. She thinks it will make the government fall.

I don’t think it makes him definitionally unfit for office — but it does concern me, I can’t lie. It’s bad enough that the government says he can’t work but being a senator is work. Maybe I’m ignorant or wrong on this but I won’t be the only one.

White populist with a tbi on full disability definitely sets off my Fetterman alarm. Anyway, Mainers will decide.

What does this question measure beyond “people on both sides who paid attention to the campaign versus people on both sides who didn’t”?

brb, declaring myself the Nobel Committee's Opposition Leader and advocating that "legitimate pressure" be brought to bear
From Deutsche Welle: Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado welcomed the US strike, describing it as legitimate pressure. She interpreted it as a direct attack on the government, which she said would be overthrown before long.

The thing about the peace prize is they gave it to Kissinger. So, *shrugs*

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

This is so damn scary. The book claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was the one who introduced Donald and Melania. Now the CEO of Harper UK is out.

Hopelessly naive and like she’s never met a university before and has no idea how they are governed or for whom.

I recommend the rib tips at Lem’s. And Old Fashioned Donuts in Roseland is a must-stop. Try the apple fritter.

He probably doesn’t care if it makes money; the point is to set a narrative. But if no one tunes in at all, he could find that annoying.
