Tell me what crime fiction you are looking forward to reading next year because I have to start thinking about that again

Much respect to UFC fighter, Brandon Royval, who gave this answer as to why he would not fight at the UFC event on the WH lawn:

Did an interview with a journalist for one of the country’s largest newspapers almost as soon as I got to Barcelona. He’s been covering books for more than 40 years and told me two authors have left a mark on him with the power of their violence: Jack Ketchum and me. Holy shit. Long live Dallas! 🖤

“Elon tried to ban The Onion on X and failed. His inability to be cool affects everyone’s lives.” english.elpais.com/technology/2...

www.theguardian.com/environment/... “more sustainable farming, which reduced pesticides and restored semi-natural habitats, would help bird populations recover.”

Seriously WOW

I mean, I wasn't *planning* on leaving grumpy irate voicemails for my senators with less than 48 hours to go till my book's out, but God laughs at human plans, so I left the voicemails

Fátima Bosch es chingona.

www.cnn.com/2025/11/07/p... Federal judge ruled Friday that the Department of Education violated the First Amendment rights of some agency employees when it sent out-of-office messages on their behalf that blamed Democrats for the government shutdown.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

The most corrupt administration in American history.

Can't top this one I got in a text

Volunteered to pack some whistles tonight. Planning to distribute a bunch of these to my local mini libraries.

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

House cancels votes next week, including vote on Epstein files.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Writing like it might be outlawed soon…

If you are inclined to prayer, please pray tonight for the housekeeping staff of the White House.

While you're waiting for #election results, you might want to take a look at this. www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

If Mamdani wins I will leave New York. I will go live in one of the other 5 houses I have, perhaps the one in South Florida, or the one in Paris, or Napa, or Cabo, but I will definitely leave New York. I will keep my apartment, though, because it's awesome and New York is great. But I will leave.

Do the antisemites now dominate MAGA? WSJ thinks that's a close question, and a troubling one. www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...

hello @ the unmarked cop car with tinted windows parked across the street from my apartment

“Don’t you think you’re too old to be Trick-or-Treating?” SIR, I AM 55 YEARS OLD. I AM TOO OLD TO GIVE A SHIT.

They literally ruin everything they touch

ICE agents are being seen wearing Halloween masks in the Los Angeles area.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Repost if you stand with immigrants over the ICE gestapo. This shit has to stop!!

If you are going to donate to a food bank, I strongly encourage giving cash. Most food banks have immense purchasing power and can turn $1 into multiple meals.

I can’t qWHITE figure out what’s wrong here.

An abridged version of a poem from a while back.

State of Matter Breaking a ship’s hull like an eggshell, it hides in steam and water; a fifth column waiting for its signal, given once days shorten, fields rest. Crystal plots fabricate, clandestine cells convene. Down gutters, over rivers, hardness claims the land.

Let’s rename A.I. Artificial is another word for fake. Fake Intelligence is not appealing. F.I. F*** It.

Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino personally participated in an ICE raid at a laundromat in the city. However, the owner locked the doors and refused entry, which halted the operation at the site. Chicago

"With these," the magician put the glasses on the girl's face, "The #unseen will be seen." "I don't see anything." "Look at your date." When she did, she saw a group of dead women surrounding him. "I can also make the seen unseen if you want to get away from him," the magician whispered. #vss365

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Prince Andrew has been stripped of all his royal titles. Exerts from Virginia Guthrie’s memoir, detailing her abuse by Andrew, played a role in his downfall. Tragically, she committed suicide last April. It’s on all of us to make sure the other Epstein survivors get justice before it’s too late.

Breaking on MSNBC: Two top criminal lawyers in the Eastern District of Virginia have been fired: Elizabeth Yusi, the criminal chief, and her deputy Kristin Bird. Both had been involved with Letitia James case and were skeptical of it.

I’m old enough to remember when we had a system of checks & balances that involved Congress, when Congress controlled the purse and legislated, and the president respected the Constitution & rule of law. I’m old enough to remember when a U.S. president wouldn’t want to be King George or a dictator.

This is a HUMONGOUS red flag. It means things are staging in the pentagon that the administration does not want the American people to know about.

In DC, a police checkpoint on M Street, Southwest, between Delaware Avenue and Third Street. An officer said the check was for tags/plates and heavily tinted windows. That said, another officer was speaking to an apparently authorized person in plainclothes in the median.
