Chuck Wendig’s THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS was a wild ride! The novel is a creepy exploration of lifetime friendships and what we owe to one another, and was immersive in the tradition of the best Stephen King novels I read in my early teens.

Sally Mann is, amazingly, as great a writer as she is a photographer. ART WORK is a meditation on creativity and the work of life and art. Peppered with photos and bits of her letters, this was a quick but deep read.

THE THIRD RULE OF TIME TRAVEL by Philip Fracassi is a terrific sci-fi novel. Rather than look at the physics of time travel, it studies the emotional toll of revisiting your own past and the growing suspicion that you might not be just observing that past in spite of the rules.

SISTERS IN THE WIND by Angeline Boulley is an excellent extension of the Sugar Island series, focused on Lucy Smith, a young Ojibwe woman on the run from her past. The novel is a slow discovery of her story, as she tries to learn to trust.

LIVING IN THE PRESENT WITH JOHN PRINE by Tom Piazza is a shining star of a book, a brief account of a brief but deep friendship between the author and the singer-songwriter. This book made me miss JP all over again and sent me back to his quirky, beautiful albums.

ATMOSPHERE by Taylor Jenkins Reid was beautiful and wrenching and then beautiful again. Perhaps the sweetest and best description of new love, straight or gay, I’ve ever read.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Chat GPT is apparently the new Helicopter Parent.
I’ll plan a road trip for you. Drive around with your sister. Here’s a playlist. Or: You’re a morning person so study then. Have a coffee before you begin. I’ll add it to your calendar.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Since 1958, West Point has honored one U.S. citizen annually with the Sylvanus Thayer Award for embodying the values of "Duty, Honor, Country."
Tom Hanks was set to receive the award later this month. His ceremony was just abruptly canceled by the Academy.

fucking hysterical to hear the 'poor little genAI industry' crying about being bullied with "copyright law" as if it's some novel, untested area of jurisprudence.
