One of my book characters (Darsh Singh) was just paged for my flight and I am all aglow.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.

My goodness, I have talented friends. Looking at you, @toniandersonauthor.bsky.social. *goes back to book* *hums happily*

Consolidation in right-wing media in the UK. (UK: Murdoch + Rothermere. US: Murdoch + Ellison + Sinclair) Daily Mail owner strikes £500m deal to buy Telegraph titles www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful. Vaccine-preventable illnesses are serious - this is going to cause real harms. This is dangerous & disappointing.

This is bullshit! What are the charges? 📌 Border Patrol arrested two women for allegedly honking their car horn to alert others of the agents’ presence

Powerful.

Video of a daycare raid in Chicago went viral last week, showing armed federal agents dragging a teacher from Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center as children watched in terror. To the families at the daycare, the scene was a show of force that shattered their sense of safety.

They’re calling her Megyn. R Kelly now.

Romance should evolve, but its so clear when people want the shine and financial benefit of Romance without respecting the genre, its conventions, or the readers. It's disturbing, but not surprising that we've arrived in a place where CRAFT DOESNT MATTER is a thing people believe.

We hired a bunch of non romance authors so we could have more wine and cheese parties.

If you have to get permission to teach in your area of expertise from people who are definitionally not qualified to adjudicate your expertise then you are no longer working at a university. You’re working at a state propaganda factory.

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children. It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

Reposting this…for reasons.

This is not how science works. At all. If you disagree with it, you actually have to do the work of *showing why, with actual data* that supports your alternative hypothesis. Simply criticizing it may mean you have opinions, but they wouldn’t be informed opinions—or scientific ones.

congrats to everyone (glares at UCSF) who helped make this happen. someone who is antivax and has actual knowledge of drug policy levers is extraordinarily dangerous

So I’m doing this Kickstarter for my new book, JULES CASSIDY, P.I., and around 75% of my many MANY backers are first time Kickstarter users, and I’m pretty sure Kickstarter has noticed this. JULES is now a “Project We Love,” and not just because he’s charming and funny and smart and kickass. 🥳

The goddamn nerve of Jeff Bezos' newspaper to talk shit about raising the minimum wage at a moment when workers at Jeff Bezos' online superstore -- who are paid so little half of them in one study were on SNAP benefits -- are going hungry. The fucking arrogance.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

This fall has been an extra slow one for small businesses out here, and the tea house is $3.7k shy of where we need to be to make rent before late fees hit this month. All this to say, if you have some tea shopping to do or friends to point our way today, we'd sure appreciate it!

This is DEPRAVED

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

This is really sad. Teen Vogue has been one of the best outlets of the last decade, unflinching with moral clarity in the face of some real bullshit. @versharma.bsky.social & her amazing team have always treated their readers with respect - a too rare trait these days. www.vogue.com/article/teen...

My husband made it back from the crime-ridden depths of Chicago where he attended a rugby match and had a generally great time. Said it was a lovely city.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

Tolkien is not perfect but he did, in fact, hate the fucking Nazis.

We live in a country where the media is focused more on who a Democratic mayoral candidate defines as his ‘aunt’ than on the DHS Twitter account putting out white nationalist propaganda and replying to Nazis online.

BREAKING: A Department of Homeland Security officer shot at an unarmed black man during a traffic stop in DC, and the DC police officer said he was told by superiors not to mention the shooting in his incident report. 1/ www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Here in Okinawa we-civilians & service members-are facing the 1st of the month w/o getting paid Living Quarters Allowance (in addition to no paycheck). LQA is what we receive instead of COLA & it covers monthly rent & utilities. My husband & I have savings, but I'm very worried about my neighbors.

Isn't it interesting how the historical polling shows Americans consistently trust Republicans with the economy right up until they crash it, so they vote for Democrats who fix things up, and they immediately go, "Republicans could definitely be doing a better job of this right now"?

WOW: "Covid-19 vaccines... set off a powerful alarm that rallies the human immune system against cancer and nearly doubles the median survival length of patients, according to a new retrospective study by researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center & the University of Florida."

A major decision in the lawsuit over vendor book ratings required by the Texas READER Act. It's a big win . . . and adds to some of the ongoing questions related to First Amendment Rights, Free Speech, and government speech as discussed in *several* recent lawsuits. bookriot.com/texas-reader...

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

I just can’t imagine being the guy running the backhoe.

I failed the ICE speed test the other day, but in my defense I a) am slow; b) am not trying to join ICE; and c) stopped multiple times to take pictures of birds

Smoking the FBI-grown shit that makes you say “Toronto Rangers”

VLADDY IS CRYING WE’RE ALL CRYING WHAT A SCENE HERE IN TORONTO

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

This is insane. “It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Good lord police you're looking for someone who robbed an art museum the guy is RIGHT THERE

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Justice Kavanaugh, demonstrating about as much awareness of the actual world as a white prep school student from affluent Montgomery County, Maryland as we might expect.

Because it is illegal

Yes! And I'll add that professors also exist to motivate and inspire students. Articles like this assume that all college students are 100% self-motivated to do all the hard work required to learn. A professor's genuine passion for a subject is contagious in a way that a computer never can be.

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education. We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.

It truly appears that the desire to say this sort of stuff without being socially ostracized and so on has been a main driver of one side of our politics from the "anti-PC" 1990s all the way through the "anti-woke" / "anti-DEI" present. A true political juggernaut, this desire certain people have.

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.
