Merrick Garland left a standing impression that no one powerful will ever be held accountable. Democrats should rectify that by saying, loudly and every hour, that people who act on illegal orders will face punishment by the next DOJ.
Dems can say: Are you really sure you want to trust Trump, of all people, when he tells you that what he’s directing you to do is lawful, and that you’ll be protected later as a result? That’s a tenuous position for anyone to put themselves into—and Dems should not hesitate to say so.
Awful: Trump's boat bombings are now being justified by a new legal memo that relies on WH's own determinations as evidence. Memo also says people can't be prosecuted for the killings. But that reveals WH knows there's legal vulnerability here, Ds tell me.

I am at the stage of writing this report where there is nothing left to learn and I am heartily bored of the whole thing. Just chasing down typos now.

What I'm reading: Hemlock and Silver. T. Kingfisher's reimagining of Snow White. Mirrors are horrible and creepifying. There is a romantic subplot. No Paladins, but there is a levelheaded and snackable bodyguard.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

“Don’t wear these styles because they age you” good. I want to look older. I want to look ancient, I want to look like someone who has used dark magic to get vengeance, who receives gifts from generations of crow familiars, who stands bent over a cauldron nightly in her forest cottage

Thanks to the latest Epstein e-mail release evidencing a shadowy cabal of pedophile elites implicating even the President of the United States himself, I now believe all other conspiracy theories as well.

I've written a short story every month for about 10 years, and it made me very good at the repetitive form of beginning/middle/end. Endings are easy for me because the key to the ending is always in the beginning. Here's easy hack from a workshop talk I gave awhile back:

40% of kids will learn to read however they are taught. Mom said at 4-yo I spontaneously read all the signs in the produce section of the grocery store.
My kindergarten teachers wouldn't let me read; they didn't believe I could and didn't teach reading skills. They wanted to FLUNK me from k-garten.

The greatest trick rich and horrible people ever pulled is convincing us they were interesting.
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????
