Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

The comments are all worrying about how Ollie can breathe in space but, um, it's obvious? Spacesuit arrow. Meanwhile I give it maybe 20 minutes before he attempts to unofficially adopt both Galaxy and Dreamer, as he does to anyone under 25 who strays into his orbit.

From a friend in Minneapolis, just now:

Just left messages for Schiff and Padilla and talked to a nice young staffer in Judy Chu’s office. As we’ve seen with Jeffries, these calls are making a difference and we should keep it up. (I say this as someone who HATES making phone calls but hates seeing my neighbors kidnapped even more)

The Forever People reads like Jack Kirby does a Hanna Barbera teen gang cartoon aka Scooby Doo. They should have been out here traveling the US stopping crooked property investors

If you need something to think about that isn't...everything...I wrote about a DC comic from 1939 that ends with a lesbian wedding. jessicaplummerwrites.beehiiv.com/p/queer-supe...

Comic-con deciding to allow GenAi imagery in the art show —giving valuable space to GenAi users to show slop right NEXT to actual artists who worked their asses off to be there— is a disgrace! A tone deaf decision that rewards and normalizes exploitative GenAi against artists in their own spaces!

The only synagogue in Jackson, MS burned last night. It was arson. They've been here before--they were attacked by the KKK because the rabbi spoke in favor of civil rights. They have no usable torah for services, all burned. Torahs are handmade! If you can donate a bit this week, here's a spot.

Here's a way to help in Minnesota right now.

@governor.ny.gov is in IG saying she'll "make sure New Yorkers can hold federal agents accountable." If you're on IG, please feel free to join me in asking her to put action behind those words and pass the New York For All act. (more) www.instagram.com/p/DTVVNlNjaLT/

Remember the instructor, Mel Curth, who was fired from the University of Oklahoma due to giving a 0 for an essay that didn't have citations & wasn't on topic? She is going to the president of the University to fight for her job back on Friday, Jan. 2. Sign this petition to support her: unfiremel.com

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love. youtu.be/KIxAKyioXng

Reject AI and annoy a billionaire.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

gotta love being sold stories about doing what's right by corporations that even never heard that such a thing

Pantone color of the year:

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

It's equally plausible to me that we all turned off filtering out of kneejerk panic AND that Google is doing shady things, but my inbox is actually way more organized without the filters hiding 2/3 of my emails in tabs I rarely check, so.

Yes! Garth is the best one and I'm obsessed with the Titans' cult era: bookriot.com/teen-titans-...

The answer to "why do publishers keep doing this thing I don't like" is usually "because it makes money" and the answer to "why do authors keep doing this thing I don't like" is usually "because everyone else on social media is and they're willing to try anything that might work." The end.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump. The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.
