Pinned
Been getting a lot of emails/DMs lately asking when the next Eric Carter book is coming out so I'm pinning this.
I'm glad so many have enjoyed the books. Thank you.
But sadly there won't be one. The publisher dropped the series due to lack of sales. Totally understandable business decision.

The sign on Kristi Noem's podium reads "One of ours, all of yours." The reader will recall that this was a fascist rallying cry in the Spanish Civil War. What it means is that one of "our" people is worth all of "your" people.

FOX: Where’s the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now?
Trent: They are doing those today. It’s called the ICE protests
FOX: Are they talking about Iran at the ICE protests?

The dead cannot bear witness, which creates an incentive for any violent escalation to accelerate towards deadly force, in order to control the narrative.
This math can only be mitigated when deadly force is treated as something dire, deserving of exceptional attention and rigor.

There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good.
This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it.

WELKER: Do you bear any responsibility to bring down the temperature?
FREY: Of course. But I dropped an F bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here and not the F bomb.

The only synagogue in Jackson, MS burned last night. It was arson. They've been here before--they were attacked by the KKK because the rabbi spoke in favor of civil rights.
They have no usable torah for services, all burned. Torahs are handmade! If you can donate a bit this week, here's a spot.

For anyone else reading this, feeling helpless, and wondering what they can do: the synagogue has a donation form and I've donated with a note that it's for fire recovery immediate expenses. www.bethisraelms.org

“If you call us murderers, we will have no choice but to murder you.”
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Hey, queerly beloved, need some help by proxy. A friend's husband recently left her and she needs assistance - lights off, no food, house in disrepair. I'm out of my depth, so if anyone has any suggestions - specifically for the Norfolk, VA area - I'd be grateful

Moody thread from yesterday.
If you know a freelancer, there’s a good chance they’re going through this right now, whether they’re willing to talk about it or not.
I understand the impulse not to.

Freelancer paradox: the only way out of a deep dark hole is to create new stuff and get paid for it. And it’s extraordinarily difficult to focus on creating new stuff from the bottom of a deep dark hole. It doesn’t help knowing so many friends are also in deep dark holes.
I’ll get out. Always do.

If it will lead to the arrest of tourists, triggering several international incidents against our allies further isolating us and putting pressure on this fascist regime and the people who support them, then yes.
Is it a good idea to host a major event like the FIFA World Cup in a country whose secret state police hunt down innocent people, lock them in cages, or execute them in the street?
