As @chrisgeidner.bsky.social said

I ended up talking wayyyyyy too much about history

#amquerying She's the Man meets Daisy Jones & The Six in THE FRONTMAN (100k, upmarket fiction). Found family and addiction struggles swirl around twins on the cusp of 1980s rock stardom. What's worth more: a legacy or a life?

Incredible work by @sandyernestallen.bsky.social and @maris.bsky.social. Extra grateful to see my beloved BEATING HEART BABY included. 🥲

I'm late for #MSWL day but better late than never? 👀 I represent YA and adult across literary, upmarket, and speculative spaces, and am hungry to find my next obsession that I just can't put down! (1/4)

The addition of the London-based Influx Press will add about 75 titles of upmarket horror, literary short fiction, satirical fiction, and more to Diversion’s list and expand its international presence, Diversion founder Scott Waxman said.

Amid anxieties about the state of heterosexual romance, depictions of realistic sex are more important than ever, Lily Meyer writes—so why are so many novelists shying away from them? theatln.tc/tUcOHgYl

10/7/16: WikiLeaks releases John Podesta’s hacked emails 10/8/16: Jeffrey Epstein forwards a link to the drop to Peter Thiel Associates of MAGA3X—created by Thiel ally Jeff Giesea—later spread false claims that the emails contain coded proof of Dems engaging in pedophilia h/t Peter Jukes 1/

Wow.

The writer Rod Dreher has spoken of fallen angels and portals to the demonic. Robert F. Worth spoke with Dreher to find out more about his worldview: theatln.tc/bRnrBxS6

New in PN: We are all passengers in Trump’s death cab "Trump’s adulation of Putin could hardly offer a starker warning of just how far he's willing to go, & how much more damage he may be willing to impose, to maintain his grip on power, particularly if — as seems likely — that grip begins to flag"

MAGAs are promoting their “SAVE Act” as if their lives depend on passing it. Their promotion of SAVE is *everywhere* on X, but hardly anyone is warning what it really does or calling on voters to tell their Senators to vote NO. They claim to have 50 votes. They need 60 w/ the filibuster. 51 without.

* Carl Jung’s analysis of Adolf Hitler was primarily psychological and symbolic, viewing him not as an individual man, but as a "collective" phenomenon who embodied the repressed desires and anxieties of the German people. * www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mtY...

Me too, Mayra, me too.

World AIDS Day is tomorrow. US government doesn’t want us to champion it - we can anyway. Honor lives stolen. Fight like hell for everyone living with HIV. Do everything we can to prevent new infections. Show up. Speak up. At the very least: 🔴 wear a red ribbon tomorrow to work 🔴

Did someone mention Honduras?

I double dare you.

Proud to take part in #HIVUnwrapped during New York Fashion Week — where #science met style. Students partnered with leaders like AVAC's Mitchell Warren to create designs inspired by #science to challenge stigma & amplify #HIV advocacy. Watch the special on Hulu 11/30 before #WorldAIDSDay.

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

Absolutely brutal.

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

question for the timeline

America Has A Problem has son serious haunting potential

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

Mike Johnson said this kind of rhetoric is highly inflammatory and incites people.

In case you don’t know what the Reichstag Fire was or why it’s relevant now, it was an incident soon after Hitler became chancellor that he used as a pretext to destroy civil rights and seize total power. Some folks think Trump is using the Charlie Kirk murder the way Hitler used the Reichstag Fire.

These are the comments that led to Jimmy Kimmel being taken off the air. "The MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it, in between the finger-pointing."

Facts matter.

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city. This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

Championing the legacy of “free speech” by trying to destroy anyone who doesn’t agree with him

This is a great thread for those who aren’t Terminally Online like the rest of us

Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

In a sense, Kirk was the son Trump never really had: very competent, ruthless, and innovative at menacing Trump's enemies--whoever they might be that day. Stephen Miller, but not as ugly. He was wildly underestimated outside the right, seen as an influencer rather than a key organizer. 2/

This thread and series of thoughts from @gregggonsalves.bsky.social is excellent and worth your time.

Rod Dreher has written that Peter Thiel “‘is by his own admission a heterodox Protestant. He is married to a man, but I learned (not from him) that he attends a conservative Protestant church, one whose doctrine considers homosexuality sinful.’” 2/14/25 … 1/ religionunplugged.com/news/2025/2/...
