Reuters: U.S. JUDGE DISMISSES INDICTMENT AGAINST SALVADORAN MIGRANT KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA - COURT FILING

@brianphillips.lol has become the go-to for explainers on "Deeply Ridiculous But Unfortunately Real News Thing" and I appreciate the incredulous tone he brings every single time to emphasize exactly how ridiculous something is and the people involved

Super thankful to the great Gary Phillips for his kind words.

Anathema is so close to funding! Let’s gooooooo!

I loved writing this piece for Criterion's glorious new blu-ray of Lawrence Kasdan's sublime neo-noir, BODY HEAT. Check it out! www.criterion.com/current/post...

The latest title from my imprint, Magician by Tracy Lynne Oliver, is out now! It's literary horror, and I'm especially proud of this novel. You can read an excerpt at Lithub: lithub.com/magician/

Not only did two neo nazi teens attempt to copycat the Christchurch mass shooting, the world's richest man falsely blamed trans people for it. Not a single outlet covered that he spread that disinformation.

I’m so thrilled to share the news that my new novel PENITENT will be published by @doubledaybooks.bsky.social, with Thomas Gebremedhin editing! Thanks as always to my agent Kirby Kim for his wise advice and for finding my book its best possible home. Coming Spring 2028! I can't wait.

"Don't draw conclusions," the mayor says. "Ignore the video on Facebook of a 75-yo Black woman being beaten to death," says the mayor. The mayor adds, "The police who just killed a guy yesterday for being too crazy for them have the real video that will make it clear she needed to be beat to death."

We had a Muslim genocide in the 90s - mass graves (which we still come across), pogroms, rapes of Bosnian Muslim women and girls, physical removal of Bosnian Muslims - and yet here we are, with Muslims treated like the lowest of the low.

This is common sense: Congress should prevent the President and his family from profiting off crypto deals while in office.

“Hemlock” was an interesting gothic story about gender and alcoholism as a family curse. Check out my review here: diversityhorror.com/2026/05/18/h...

You can help Suad keep her child Omar alive through Israel's genocide right now by sharing & donating. They've been left homeless, starving, & sick by the siege, & urgently need help. Omar is seriously malnourished & urgently needs food & vitamins. They have no one else:

Angela Morley helped John Williams make his scores a reality, orchestrating on Star Wars, Superman, E.T., Home Alone, Hook - but her name is all too often forgotten www.wearequeeraf.com/from-star-wa...

For all my love of Williams' earlier scores, i never even knew her name until now.

9 years was not an excessive punishment. Peters was a county official who used someone else’s security badge to let a fellow election denier access the whole county's voting data. That is an extreme breach of public trust for the purpose of undermining our democracy; harsh deterrence is vital.

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

NOTICE: Do you have an elderly or disabled neighbor in NYC? Be a good neighbor and let them know about the free air conditioner program. If they earn $3473 or less a month, NYC will cover the costs of an A/C. Remember…last summer we had 95 degree weather. Look out for them

Do you want the Tank Girl future? Because this is how we get the Tank Girl future and last time I checked none of you are sentient mutant kangaroos.

Your regular reminder that when David Duke ran for statewide office in the early 1990s, the MAJORITY of white Louisiana voters pulled the lever for him. This was AFTER they’d seen the pictures of Duke in a Klan outfit and a Nazi uniform.

Argument is always same lies, the date has just changed for good old boys belief in their absolute right to power. “Louisiana Republicans desperately want to abolish the office—a move that is not only offensive to Duncan and his constituents, but to the concept of multiracial democracy itself.“

A nightclub in Mexico City has gone viral for charging Americans a nearly $300 cover charge, while citizens from any other country pay just $20 for access

If @seattletimes.com can do without journalists, it can do without my subscription, too. And if it thinks Seattle wants to be served up slop by an unaccountable planetary destruction machine, it has seriously misread the Northwest.

The trailer for Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” is out:
