Excellent, damning analysis of the video of the killing of Ms Good, from the NYT, including a quick debunking of the “evidence” the President showed other Times reporters last night. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Walz: "Do you have no decency? We have someone dead in their car for no reason whatsoever. I don't want to be right about this, but I said if they do this they're gonna create a chaotic situation where someone innocent is gonna get killed. And they did it."

"A doctor at the scene attempted to help the woman who was shot, but was kept away by federal agents. When an ambulance finally arrived, it was blocked from reaching her by law-enforcement vehicles, and paramedics had to reach her on foot. The woman has died." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

🤖 It's day 6 of 2026. If you want a super, super low stakes goal, just know you could write a 60k novel by writing ~200 words a day. That's not much. That's actually a little more than this post. Go. Write. It all adds up. ❤️

not the the most disturbing or awful thing about our jaunty little weekend excursion, but for sure the strangest marketing e-mail subject:

We’re so back.

i have family in Venezuela & their immediate reaction is (understandably) is just pure unbridled joy--which i totally get: life under Maduro (and Chavez before that) was a nightmare, but

“A war game run during President Trump’s first term assessed what may follow if Mr. Maduro were ousted, forecasting chaotic power struggles as military units, rival political factions and guerrilla groups vie for control of the country.” — www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...

this one’s different, this is the one time we are going to be greeted as liberators.

“Velvet darkness falls over my Caracas. The stars are out in thousands. The Milky Way stretches its mysterious belt of whiteness across the heavens. The Southern Cross shines. The little city of my boyhood is sunk in slumber.” -TR Ybarra, YOUNG MAN OF CARACAS (1941)

I would die for them

Happy New Year! It’s the first fresh day of 2026: take a moment to write.

This is me extricating myself from 2025.

“I AM THE QUEEN OF MAD.” —the 4yo, at full volume

I drew the current leader of the expedition.

an old sketch: It’s your phone after it built an enormous fort in your backyard from all the boxes you had lying around.

❤️ this list, ❤️ this publication

CITIZEN KANE but it’s a horror movie about a cursed sled.

A fond farewell to the 2024 planner & to planners past, & excited about the 2025 planner: I know it’s dorky & I know there’s a whole Hobochini fad but switching to paper planners changed my life—

“I’m a PRESENT! hiding! UNDER the Christmas TREE!” — the 4yo, at full volume, when the 10yo asked what she was doing

Here’s the poor tree before all the colors

every tv executive’s now trying to figure out how to get Weiss to pull their show off the US but accidentally let it show up briefly in Canada

I drew a Christmas tree and the trimmings, here with tidings.

And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV. There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public

We've complicated something beautifully simple. Writing doesn't need seventeen browser tabs open. It needs you, your thoughts, and zero distractions. Freewrite brings back what writing was always meant to be—just words flowing freely.

this is starting to feel like some kind of Road Runner situation

I bet there’s a pretty brutal Bari Weiss Signal group chat going on at CBS rn

Paula Maxa was a Grand Guignol actress known as “The Most Murdered Woman in the World” & that is such an excellent title for a novel or for anything
