The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

we're seeing it in slow motion every day anyway.

Libertarians standing around not doing anything (which is on-brand) Then this guy hits them from a thousand yards away with a perfect sniper shot.

it's cool to see that this game's starting pitcher is still hanging in there

that play at 2B wasn't as bad as Kent Hrbek lifting Ron Gant's foot off of first base in the 1991 World series, but that's only because Hrbek is a bitch-ass cheating motherfucker.

If you are in the Birmingham AL area, go see Bobby! And tell him I sent you. Then tell him how amazing he is. Cuz Bobby is fucking amazing.

Hey hey, it's the day of the event. If you're in the Birmingham metro area, come say hi at the Hoover Public Library at 3 p.m. I'll be reading a couple of stories, talking about why I write about the South, and giving away a few books!

I would totally go to this. YOU should totally go to this. But if you're like me, and way too far away, you can find his short stories lots of places like the ones below.

Bobby wrote a couple of my favourite crime novels of this century! If you're in the area I envy you the chance to stop by.

If you're in the #BHM — that's Birmingham, Ala-damn-bama — area on October 19, I'll be reading some of my short fiction and talking about what inspires me in this city. Come see me at the Hoover Public Library! Event is free and open to the public. :-)

If only Robert E. Lee had shaved. Pete Hegseth and the rest of MAGA would have the country they truly want.

Sherman coulda marched through Georgia in a day-and-a-half if he hadn't had a beard.

Wtf

REMINDER: Black women lost 319,000 jobs between February and July of this year, the only major female demographic to experience significant job losses during this five-month period. White men saw the largest job increase 一 365,001* 一 among groups * = added Jimmy Kimmel who got his job back! 😒

I've been having some health struggles in recent months that I haven't talked about on here ... some of it seems to be looking up. Keep your fingers crossed, y'all.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

"I can't swim!" "Are you crazy? The fall will probably kill you!" Butch and Sundance are together again. Rest in Peace, Robert Redford.

RIP to a great actor and watch "All the President's Men" this week/end if you want to remember what it was like back when the Washington Post did real journalism

NEW: We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims officers use a “minimum amount of force.” You can judge for yourself. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social @mckenziefunk.com

Typical Chump Supporting RepubliKKKan.......

The Nassau County legislature on Long Island attempts to silence a young American citizen whose father was abducted by ICE.

The budget for ICE is now larger than the budget for the United States Marines.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is back in the House—loaded with tax cuts for the rich, deep Medicaid cuts, and a $5 trillion debt bomb. Republicans are fighting each other over it. Democrats are united against it. Meanwhile, 12 million people could lose health care. All for a billionaire’s PR stunt.

Just finished this great book. I highly recommend it. Add it to your summer reading list. @blacktopkid.bsky.social #authors

My novelette ‘Welcome to Kearney’ is out in this!

Writing is easy. Re-writing is one hell of an old bitch, though. @zhoney.bsky.social, it's coming ... just way slower than I thought it would.

For reasons best left unexplored, BEHIND THE WALL OF SLEEP is on sale over at Jeff Bezos’ rocket fund. I just bought a house, so if you and everyone you know could go buy a copy, that’d be great, thanks! a.co/d/goVbwHb

No Kings Day. Y'all be safe out there. <3

What happened to @padilla.senate.gov is an attempt to intimidate anyone with a dissenting view of this Administration and stop them from exercising their First Amendment rights. We will not be silenced. youtu.be/7dNpkFlP0BQ

SAINT OF THE NARROWS STREET is about a mother and son, but it’s also about how some fathers—even when they’re gone—give you trouble in your blood. It’d make for an ace Father’s Day gift (especially if your old man’s on the lam). www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/768961...

Such great news. A resounding defeat of maga book banning fascist creeps, and a triumphant protection of libraries. Congratulations to @chriswarcraft.bsky.social who has done so much to preserve the values of the old So. Cal. I grew up in, thank you

One of the things I hate the most is when someone else makes me look like an idiot. I don't NEED help for that, FFS.

No Kings Day is almost here — and it’s going to be even bigger than Hands Off! More than 500,000 Americans have signed up to hit the streets on Saturday at over 2,000 events all across our country. Join the nationwide peaceful protests to say NO KINGS in the USA: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Anyone seen @jerrybloom.bsky.social, @jamesdfhannah.bsky.social, or @robdsmith.bsky.social? We may need bail money.
