I've said this before but I truly believe we could revitalize YA and kidlit overnight by switching to MMPB and paperback first. Kids want paperbacks! It is by far the biggest request I get from teen readers.

A pleasant surprise!

Signature sheets are here! Incoming, @lairdbarron.bsky.social.

Oh! I know this one! As the saying goes “Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.” But what disturbs Conservatives is people different from them and what comforts them is being told they are right. Good art can never say "These people are just better; everyone else is wrong."

ICE is opening up offices all around the country. We need to protest this HARD. www.wired.com/story/ice-ex...

I rolled my own home surveillance system because I don't trust Ring or any cloud based service with my private data. It's hard to set up but Home Assistant works well and is highly customizable.

They had both been invited to the island at the same time by Mr. Roarke and Tattoo. You see coincidences like that only on television!

They built a mosque and a Muslim school near where I lived in Houston. The lady at the liquor store was not required to wear a hijab and I could still buy pork ribs from the barbecue place down the block. Guys like Brandon Gill are the reason Texas is a punchline for so much of the country.

These are concentration camps. Gulags. In America. We sure are great again, huh?

Write the screenplay!

It’s not culture: it’s clickbait.

Make America Bad Bunny again

Sadly, too meta.

Like maybe they should listen to the lyrics?

It does really hit you that American artists of color continue to make these aesthetically incredible, thematically rich works of art and the white supremacists that rule this country are just complete dullards

The people who needed their own half time show are the same people who needed their own water fountains.

Gee--this is the evening that I wait mischievously until 4th quarter to phone friends whom I haven't contacted in years and ask: "It's been so long since we talked! Are you busy right now?"

OMG -- it's like abandoning our cars to trudge the NY State Thruway on foot to attend Woodstock. The counterculture still lives!

Bad Bunny isn't an immigrant. This shit is cooked through. 150 years of being a newspaper and now you're a 4chan comment thread.

Like vinyl, I believe that the mmpb will rise again.

orange marmalade, batch 4

The sunset?

I'll because guest ar Pensacon 2026 in Pensacola, FL. Feb. 20-22 www.pensacon.com

There should be a global boycott.

What he said!

What’s darkly funny is that there’s an old CIA manual about this, and how if enough people do it, it can destabilize a country. It’s still on their website right now after being declassified in 2008.

Psst! He'll take it, but only in bitcoin, and provided he gets to amortize his full $250 million purchase price as a tax write-off over the next 10 years.

Any use of AI in the arts arises from two intertwined motives: Laziness and greed.

"Trump for Europeans conjures up the pre-war era when what we now call populism but then was called fascism engulfed country after country and led to a continent-wide catastrophe that killed millions of people."

Thankfully NOT responding.

Kinda of like his underwear.

Had a great birthday dinner (steak) 😊 Read some stories from @sgj.bsky.social ‘s States of Grace Ending the night watching my fav Final Girl 🖤Nancy🖤 in A Nightmare on Elm Street! The best day! 😊

One object with TLEs so far from this launch, in a 487 x 512 x 96.6 deg, 1030 LTDN sunsync orbit. It is 2026-023E, so possibly there are 5 payloads?

They don't even know how to spell "Worse Shit" correctly.

AOC on the Kennedy Center: The renaming is completely illegitimate. All they did was screw some nameplates onto the building. That’s coming right off. Enjoy your name on there for a year or two, but that’s getting ripped right out.

I'll take that view WITH a storm any day.

so very excited about this one—includes several of my all-time favorite stories

Isn't that a line out of Yeats?

I would prefer not to.

This.. #activism

Meet the six authors we've solicited to be part of WHAT ELEGANT FUNCTION 🚀

Ladies and gentlemen, professional American law enforcement. We are the shithole nation. We are the country that needs regime change. We are the beshitted totalitarian state.

A federal judge has sharply questioned the legality of the Defense Department’s efforts to censure and possibly demote Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain, over his public criticism of the Trump administration.

America 2026!

Gratin time.

Everything that is done there, can be done here, and could be; this current administration has no love of democracy, free speech, or dissent, and it's already been road testing killing average people who get in their way.

Bad Bunny condemns ICE during his #GRAMMYs speech for Best Música Urbana Album: “Before I say thanks to god, I’m going to say, ICE out. We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we are humans and we are Americans.”

The man is using brushes. That's serious percussion.

Is anyone paying attention to whose pocket the funds allocated for the Kennedy Center for the next 2 years are depositing to?
