Looking back on 2025 before moving ahead to 2026. So grateful to @desertsleuths.bsky.social for including my short story "A Killer Job" in their most recent anthology. If you enjoy reading mysteries, anthologies are a great way to meet new authors! #mystery #anthology #amreading

I thought I could resell my Rimowa but apparently one of the nieces or nephews will be stuck inheriting them. I’m sorry, future nieces and nephews. I love them, but not everybody does...

i’m pretty sure there are providers who could support scaling (like whoever handles tix sales for soccer games), so DoJ wouldn’t have to throttle searchers…

I did a good thing today for a Young who truly appreciates The Good Thing and I tell you, it makes me feel better than my finest bottle of fancy whiskey. Even if you haven’t much to give, giving something feels so goddamned good. #NewYearsThoughts

Loved #WakeUpDeadMan even though it's more remote/allegorical than the previous two. The message is so important! hard to believe Josh O'Connor played both Prince Charles & the priest in WUDM. Every one of my writer friends will enjoy Andrew Scott's last scene.

Rocket J. Squirrel has kept every stray cat out of the backyard...
...until today. Saw him and another cat just sitting on the ground, loaf-shaped, facing each other and giving each other slow blinks. I think we just acquired another cat...

With my next SCOTUS argument little more than one week away, I will be writing less often between now and the 9th. In the meantime, subscribe to Democracy Docket to support the team's invaluable work. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Clearest explainer I’ve found of what’s been happening on the court case related to the Judge Boasberg contempt legal tangle, and the latest status, highlighted by the claim that Noem metaphorically dragged a court order out to a gravel pit... www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMcD...

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ’s win reminds me of the time we heard Gus Newport (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gus_New...) speak about being Berkeley mayor. He said he was a socialist but he still had to meet payroll.
Wishing you good fortune with job ahead, Mayor-elect Mamdani!

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.
