Since The Night Guest is coming out in paperback we decided to try to gift another copy bitten by Uggi. And it went … a little *too* well. (See picture 🧵)
Like and share this post and on December 30th I will select a winner and send them this teeth marked copy!

The Erika Kirk v. Candace Owens feud isn't just juicy.
It's a sign that the MAGA movement is destabilizing, especially as Trump gets weaker.
It's also a story of how the GOP ceded leadership to greedy influencers, and now that's backfiring.

My gift to you today: the gut-rotted misery of Graham Linehan’s wretched life ❤️
Graham Linehan has such little self-awareness he *really* doesn’t understand how totally unhinged he seems in his ‘woe is me’ batshit crazy ranting! 😬
He’s the ‘cautionary tale’ of what obsessive ‘gender critical’ transphobia leads to: no friends, no life, and spaghetti carbonara for one!

“Crystal Wilsey, a cashier at a Cinnabon franchise in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, said some unforgivable things to a Somali couple who had the temerity to request more caramel on a pecan cinnamon roll. But I don’t think she should have been summarily fired.”

I wrote about why we should not celebrate someone losing their job, especially in today’s America, even when they’ve done terrible racist things.
Losing a job should also be harder and involve workers’ bodies not unilateral management decisions.

A colleague thinks one of the reasons Putin is utterly resistant to a ceasefire is the army would outright mutiny if told to resume warfare, and that makes sense to me. The slaughter tap would be near impossible to turn back on.

One Russian paper today sees "a split in the Western camp. This is objectively good for Russia.” Other papers: “crisis” in metals industry & “more than 40% of working Russians surveyed have barely enough/not enough money before payday for food & essential goods.” #ReadingRussia

Hey guys, due to Australia’s social media ban that came into effect today, you will no longer be able to message me on BlueSky. They’re requiring us to use an ID to prove our age to access messages now (yes, I’m not joking). The government didn’t let us vote for this, we are being forced to comply.

Yesterday NZ moved to ban puberty blockers for trans teens
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
Transgender care saves lives.
