Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.”
They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

saw someone reading RF Kuang's THE BURNING GOD on the subway last week which caused me to pick up the first book in the trilogy, which I am enjoying a great deal! highly recommend! lean into serendipity!
The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

I am a relatively successful writer. Each of my three novels has earned out. I have a day job, one that I have had for many years. I will have it until I am forced to retire at gunpoint. If I did not have this day job, I would not be able to write, it’s as simple as that.
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

It's fashionable now to trot out Nixon being ahead of his time on Russia, China, etc - for good & ill I helped start it - but nobody talks about the last chapter of In the Arena, which is pretty much a no-holds-barred attack on elderly politicians who won't get off the stage & go demented in public.
