The most cynical part of me thinks this story will get more Americans to wake up about the evils of ICE in the same way that you can murder as many humans in a crime novel but killing a pet is unconscionable

Donald Trump murdered this man.

Rep Justin Jones made a statement entrance, walking into the Tennessee legislature with an"Abolish ICE" flag. No subtlety. No backing down.🔥🔥

Just so we're clear here, Trump installed his own defense lawyer as the Deputy Attorney General and had him lead the purge of the federal prosecutors who brought cases against Trump.

Reminder that you are being lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale

👏🏼The Choctaw Nation has purchased a warehouse in Oklahoma that ICE was trying to buy and use as a detention center. www.projectsaltbox.com/p/choctaw-na...

The NYT purposefully mischaracterized the position of the AMA to make it seem like they changed policy and opposed gender affirming care on trans youth. It appears they have rejected efforts by the AMA to correct the record.

Amazing.

Book Review for the upcoming @paultremblay.bsky.social novel. So what does a PKD obsessive think of this novel? The publisher calls it "PKD meets the Coen Brothers." This Science fiction horror novel is ready to ontological on your ass.

2. PELLARGONIA Since we focused on Borges last week, I had you read a story from @theodoragoss.bsky.social that has heavy Borges influences – "Pellargonia: A Letter to the Journal of Imaginary Anthropology." 53/

Today is officially @ericlarocca.com day! Celebrating his latest release WRETCH, we present Part I of our conversation on video at the @thisishorror.bsky.social patreon. It's always a great conversation with Eric, and his new book will destroy you in all the right ways.

Laird Barron writing on Shirley Jackson is as beautiful as you’d imagine.

Happy Nowruz, New York City.   As Persian and other communities welcome the new year, I joined our team to learn about the Haft-seen table — a tradition rooted in renewal, reflection, and hope.   Wishing you all a new year filled with peace, light, and understanding.

does it not bear a faint resemblance to a gigantic fish? even the great leviathan himself?

This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. “Evil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as them” is another theme that feels relevant right now

Huh. Turns out you can in fact get older *and* better, and many humans do: www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

It would've been reckless and inexcusable to cause generational damage by illegally defunding USAID, NIH, HHS, Dept of Edu, and so on just to reduce the deficit... ... but spending and the deficit are both higher than '22, '23, '24. It was all just harm for harm's sake. The cruelty was the point.

World Poetry Day, so here’s my favourite poet. Memorial Norman MacCaig

Whoa whoa whoa. WSJ reports that Trump *personally* pushed the Justice Department to settle its antitrust case with Live Nation. Several sources for my NYT column speculated this was the case. The Journal says it's a fact. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

For #WorldPoetryDay, here's the man himself reading his poem "Postscript." It's one of my favorites. vimeo.com/73559117

Oh, today was the Equinox... But where was Fritz Leiber?

Holy shit, this would be AMAZING.

Ya know, I wasn't even especially into the idea of a Buffy reboot, but now I have a NEW ENEMY. Who is this creepy exec?

Problems at Amazon have been resolved. You can order Pandemonium Waltz and it will be delivered in days. It will not have the inside cover art but otherwise will be complete. If you want a copy with the inside image by Derek, get it at the Lethe Press site, Barnes and Noble, a local bookstore.

That was your reminder that every time the Academy talks about removing the documentary awards from primetime, it’s about removing politics

I spoke to Ray MacKay (a young comic creator getting his start) at The Fantastic Comic Fan podcast about my comic career- How I got my start, the influence of tabletop RPGs, developing my creator-owned books, working on Conan the Barbarian, and a whole lot more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4-i...

The Fisherman, de @johnlangan.bsky.social , John Langan. Probablement le livre qui m’a le plus scotché ces dix dernières années. « Comme si William Blake et Lovecraft avaient écrit ensemble un scénario barré pour Sam Raimi et Guillermo Del Toro ». Édité en français avec le même titre chez J’ai Lu ⭐️⭐️

in the soul of man there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half known life

💯 this!!!

one serene and moonlight night, when all the waves rolled by like scrolls of silver; and, by their soft, suffusing seethings, made what seemed a silvery silence, not a solitude; on such a silent night a silvery jet was seen

random 4 book shout-out (was gonna add "of writers i follow" but i dont follow cadwell) — • shigidi & the brass head of obalufon by wole talabi • ordinary notes by christina sharpe • no gods, no monsters by cadwell turnbull • the ballad of perilous graves by alex jennings support black authors.

A good overview of the incompetent and nonsensical (but not unexpected) way DOGE ripped apart the NEH last spring, leading to hundreds of cancelled grants for petty reasons. I'm grateful to @historians.org and co-plantiffs for challenging these actions in federal court.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
