"The Black Spot" is now live on Substack—and in a tip of the hat to my start with fan fiction, it's a swashbuckling superhero story! Happy reading!

I think it's hilarious that Nancy Mace's big scandal is called "Airportgate." I don't know why the average person doesn't find that funny.

Alex Pretti’s murder kinda took me out. I’ve barely functioned since. None of the people hurt by these Republican thugs has deserved what was done to them.
Goodnight, Renee. Goodnight, Alex. You did so well. We’ll get them for you.

As someone who made the choice to leave conservatism, though, safety isn't guaranteed. On the contrary, it is objectively harder. I have thought about how to pitch a more just worldview to family members, but I cannot honestly tell them they will be happier.

Holy shit.
He was filming. He went over to help a lady that ICE shoved down. Agents engaged him.
His hands were on the pavement when he was shot.
He never had his hand on a weapon.
Cold blooded murder.

NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

There's probably a good movie in Melania's life story, actually. She is, after all, the world champ of gold diggers. It'd be one of those films in which a person gets everything they wanted at the cost of all else. Anyway, obv. we're not getting that. #FilmSky #movies #film #screenwriting #WriteSky

I don’t think people understand what an ask it is to beta-read a novel. Are you aware that I cannot count your manuscript toward my Goodreads Challenge?

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

God, the whole X-MEN: ELSEWHEN project is really just the most has-been thing a bitter old man like John Byrne could possibly do. Can't say I'm happy to see Marvel reward him for it.

My whole the-editor’s-job-is-to-help-the-author-make-the-best-version-of-the-book-they-want stance got sorely tested this week when I read an MS for an evangelical novel 400+ pages long. Never mind the missionary who wrote it, *I’m* the saint here.

Happy #MLKDay! If you haven’t read a biography about #MLK yet, KING by Jonathan Eig really is your best pick. It manages the impressive trick of being 1/3rd the size of Taylor Branch’s authoritative work but feeling more holistic, and it includes the recent discoveries.

We have ~15 separate radio dispatches, one for each neighborhood, and dozens more for the suburbs/Saint Paul. Each dispatch/monitoring channel contains somewhere between 500 and 2000 people. At any given time there are probably a dozen mobile patrols and 100 on-foot observers in each neighborhood.
Does Minneapolis have a radio dispatch set up for the people who are following ICE? That's brilliant.
alright here you go
