Need more middlebrow fiction goddamnit. Some of us are too cultured for total genre slop, and not cultured enough for some MFA’s exploration of the intersectionality of grief! Give me something written at an adult reading level with emotional depth that also has a murder or a vampire or some shit!

i think these were not "US Marshals" but rather Musk's private security team, who have been deputized as US Marshals.
This is abt latest turn in the U.S. African Development Fdn story where Trump's purported appointee showed up this afternoon w US marshals and forced his way in. Story below. I'm curious what people know about the authority under which the marshals were even there. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/u...
Marshals Escort DOGE Team Into African Aid Agency
A day earlier, U.S. African Development Foundation workers had refused entry to Department of Government Efficiency workers and the State Department official in charge of foreign aid.
