Or you might call them "camps" where people are to be "concentrated" until they are deported. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This is amazingly insightful. Love.

This is your regularly scheduled reminder that “Jews eat Chinese food on Christmas” began as a symbol of inter-immigrant solidarity. www.tabletmag.com/sections/foo...

I was finally free when I realized I could make one egg for breakfast and not a minimum of two.

Christmas Eve by Stanhope Forbes was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1897. This large painting (1.8m high) shows a band playing outside the Dock Inn in Dock Street, at the foot of Chapel Street in Penzance, with the parish church of St Mary's in the background.

The Retrial...

James Merril’s poem “Christmas Tree,” written while he was dying of AIDS. 1995.

I did Livin’ On A Prayer the other night at karaoke, as loud as I could (thanks Negronis) and I’m still hoarse.

May your holidays have at least one moment of child-like wonder or laughter. #Uplift

Is this cannon?

This time of year I always think of this deliciously unhinged photo shoot with Truman Capote & Andy Warhol for High Times magazine's 1978 Xmas issue, with Capote soused to the gills & Warhol gamely playing along as Santa. I want someone to write an extended oral history of this photo shoot alone

I keep wondering why I'm exhausted, then I remember the past year and most of November until now and... oh. Anyway, buy my book to give me +5 Health and Manna tinyurl.com/3xb6a3bp

Every time book folks think the world is ending, it ends up not ending. A thought for our down-in-the-mouth literary moment.

The book isn't bad either.

Wow😂😂😂

“Write to the market.” You’ll never catch the market. By the time you’ve written it, the market is gone. Write what you’re on fire to write, and sometimes the market shows up.

I love Pluribus because it’s teaching us how to watch it.

You know what’s a really cute word? sundae

Husband also decided to make homemade Chinese BBQ pork (char siu) today

Regent Street - London (1961)🎄

Doing a cry on top of a cry here. (Double cry?) Because of the beauty of Its a Wonderful Life and because I miss David Lynch.

I find it moving that David Lynch loved IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE so much he couldn't talk about it without crying. His sincere belief in the redemptive possibilities contained in that film and what it said about people seems to me like a key element of understanding his own work.

How very odd. Would make a lovely beginning to a short story though

I can't believe they're bringing Philip Rivers back in Avengers Doomsday.

Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

Recreated Red Hook Tavern burgers tonight.

I really don’t understand why there isn’t a New Beverly-type theater in Brooklyn. Come on! BAM has all those screens.

pressure cooker pot roast chicken in stock that’s doing its sixth tour of duty. viscous and lip sticking delicious. champ because Ireland, Calabrian sausage because I LOVE sausages with roasts, green beans for my elven kings 👑

It's my birthday and all I'd want is for ten people to preorder the book that I spent the entire last year finishing up. Is that asking for too much? www.hachettebookgroup.com/grand-centra...

Afternoon undertaking.

Pluribus rules because it’s forcing people who wanna see a bunch of sci fi lore dumps to instead watch amazing actors have incredibly interesting conversations about what it means to be a person

“Be sure to set me to ‘delicate,’ Alison. It’d be a shame to ruin that sweater, you know, in case it ever comes back in style.”

“The world is not to be put in order. The world is order. It is for us to put ourselves in unison with this order.” — Henry Miller

Hey, I was there! And a bunch of us went with William and Allen G. et al. to dinner later. I was disappointed that his door and shotgun paintings were priced WAY out of my league.

One of the greatest editors of the past century. She worked with a staggering list of writers.

Have you ever imagined that the world's smallest monkeys, the pygmy marmosets weighing just around 100g, could line up so politely to receive and enjoy each green pea in such an adorably cute way? ☺️💙😎

Thinking about WATERS OF DEADMOON again (from Heavy Metal September 1991, by Patrick Cothias and Philippe Adamov)

I’ve decided to count how many times “what?” or “huh?” is said by my family per day. So far we’re up to 42,761.
