With MFA app deadline coming up, I've been getting lots of emails from prospective students about the state the Rutgers-Camden program; please note that we are once again FULLY funded, with strong assurances of continued full funding moving forward. We're not going anywhere.

In addition to all the bigger issues here I am astounded by how much this guy built his entire life around being into sex crimes. He's like a model train guy, but for human trafficking

Now that there's precedent for a pro team making a slow 44 year old their starting QB, I know that I've got one more year of NFL eligibility left in me and am preparing accordingly

some of you have a lot of negative things to say about avatar, but if a limey bloke was telling you to 'av a tár (2022) I bet you'd go with it

Any time Eagles fans are impugned as a group, the individual casting aspersions should recognize that they are actually insulting international icon and hero, Malala Yousafzai.

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

Extremely bluesky situation in the replies to this normal post, we've got everything from melting down about paywalls to people scolding Alex for defending fascism

Used to be that the coolest thing a guy could do was answer the phone by saying "talk to me." Hardly ever happens these days. A big loss.

looking forward to this series, and not just because I have a very small piece in it

PLOT HOLE/GOOF: In Home Alone, Kevin McAllister is scared of his neighbor because there is a rumor that he is a danger to children, but in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Kevin interacts casually with the world's most famous pedophile.

thanks to AI, I now know that I'm surrounded by people who dream of taking selfies with celebrities and/or TV characters, and failing that, they're just as happy with a computer imagining what that selfie would look like, were it to have happened

Hello, at the University of Minnesota, we're hiring a visiting creative nonfiction writer for the next 2-3 years to teach a 1-1 (one grad class, one undergrad class) and potentially sit on some MFA thesis committees. This job will give you time to write you next book: hr.myu.umn.edu/jobs/ext/371...

Time for my favorite annual tradition: Barack Obama claiming to have read and liked a highly focus grouped list of consensus books, seemingly picked from the long lists of awards.

Congrats to our reviews editor Katharine Coldiron @ferrifrigida.bsky.social al & @autofocusbooks.bsky.social for making the @penamerica.bsky.social longlist!!!

Write-ins are coming back!

Adin Ross working his way through LA locker rooms and baiting guys into doing incredible stupid things, Deandre Ayton doesn't stand a chance

Very funny that every time one of these Bold Innovative Thinkers takes a new job they start out by acting like they invented shit that was proven to be worthless two decades ago

Basic dumbass. Looks like shit. Often mistaken for broken-ass garbage on the ground because it's too lazy to fly. Easily identifiable by central American passersby giving it the finger. Song is plagiarized. We almost forgot to put it ihere until Stacey was like "oh what about that little asshole"

In the event that tomorrow’s speech is a declaration of further aggression against Venezuela, you should respond in a way that will let you hold your head high years from now, even if it is difficult in the present.

I love to live in an all encompassing surveillance state that only manages to capture criminals when they turn themselves in a couple weeks after their heinous crimes

It should be illegal to write something like this on a wall

[guy who has posted 4700 AI generated memes calling for a race war, moments after seeing that Donald Trump has been rude to Rob Reiner] sir, you've gone too far

it's not analyzing shit! it's impersonating what an analysis of a language might sound like! and if it's right it's by dumb luck! fuck off!

Studying history this morning

Have read a few recent, celebrated memoirs this year that were sold on a proposal, which became evident halfway through when the author ran out of stuff to say and then tried to write a meta thing about how the book they're writing isn't what their editor wants. My verdict: this sucks, don't do it

love when an extremely rich guy logs on & thinks he's inventing an insane hypothetical to illustrate the evils of taxes, and he comes up with something like "imagine if you were forced to drive your car on a road next to other cars and abide by government signage that dictates how fast you can go"

I believe that if I were Ebeneezer Scrooge, I would figure out long before the ghost pointed out the headstone that it was me in the grave

I love it when people who have willingly quarantined themselves on the 11th or 12th most popular social media site speculate about what "normies" believe

Donald Norcross yes vote...Andy please go to war with this man('s brother)

REBOOT by @justintaylor.bsky.social is one of the best books I've read this year, and it's out in paperback soon, and here's the absolutely killer opening chapter up on Brooklyn Rail (especially recommended to people who are way too online, i.e everyone here) brooklynrail.org/2025/12/fict...

one must admit that a single person simply does not need 37 pencils

After the tenth of these emails I got Mad Enough to Blog it. Thanks to @electricliterature.com and @thedennemichele.bsky.social, and all the authors who shared their own scam emails.

Got an extremely kind and generous review of IT ALL FELT IMPOSSIBLE in @riverteeth.bsky.social riverteethjournal.com/book-reviews...

the main thing you need to know about me is that I have devoted more than half my life to thinking about and watching the Eagles, a professional football team that I hate very much and cannot live without

I need to stop seeing photos of pasty pigfaced media executives who are in a competition to give the biggest bribe to the president

We love a spite-fueled author origin story
