J. Hoberman on the restoration of Nadja with Jared Harris, Martin Donovan, Peter Fonda, David Lynch, and the singular Elina Löwensohn. Michael Almereyda has always had the magic touch when it comes to casting (Sam Shepard and Ethan Hawke as father and son in Hamlet could not have been more perfect).

our government used a Blackhawk helicopter in a major American city, detained children and zip-tied U.S. citizens all to target... squatters and the alleged Tren de Aragua presence? "It was a brutal lie against the American public." www.propublica.org/article/chic...

The two children who returned to MN today say they saw one of their Valley View schoolmates at a detention center in TX. This is a child whose family was last in contact with the school on January 9. No one has known where they were until now.

This is an index of the work I’ve done on Jeffrey Epstein. And like Jeffrey Epstein, there are links to everything.

Thanks to @paultremblay.bsky.social for including our event on Saturday in his newsletter. Also, I think spilling water on Brett Cox was actually a miss-- he was aiming for @johnlangan.bsky.social. Don't know what I am talking about. You need to signup for the the newsletter: www.paultremblay.net

Reminder to Texans that tomorrow (Monday) is the last day to register to vote in the March elections

I mean, I would never malign Milne -- seeing the Winnie-the-Pooh exhibit at the V&A was the closest I've come to a religious experience. I wrote about it when it came to Toronto, just before everything went to hell.

I am also not an artist, but I am a crafter and a fellow Spidey writer, so taking a page out of Jody's book to contribute to #Comics4Liam Please visit comics4liam.com for more info on how you can help our immigrant communities 🕷️🕸️❤️

The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

For you youngn's out there, this is a deep, deep cut especially to the sentient but evil remaining members of the Republican party, because all the Keyboard Commandos LOVED them when they were publishing satirical cartoons about Muhammad This will hit different for older Republicans.

there is a post from the US gov 'department of war' on here that includes video of them actually murdering people and threatening to murder more people & it's been up since november

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

just putting this here no reason

But what plays the mischief with this masterly code is the admirable brevity of it, which necessitates a vast volume of commentaries

all for love

Give it to @joshruben.bsky.social you cowards.

Punk always has your back.

It can get lower!

Here's the cover for Ellen Datlow's new Halloween-themed anthology, All Hallows Eve. I'm lucky enough to have a story in it, along with a great group of other writers. It's coming from Titan on September 8th. You can preorder it here. titanbooks.com/72783-all-ha...

For the evening crowd

I have numerous complaints about Ro Khanna, but he took his ass to Minneapolis and seems genuinely pissed off and that’s what I want to see from every Democrat in Congress right now

The Feds never left Los Angeles. Don’t forget us. Solidarity with Minneapolis and all communities under siege by federal pigs. Keep fighting. Hold the line.

They kill us for their sport.

Congratulations Head Halloween Librarian @raforall.bsky.social & her book WHY I LOVE HORROR for making the Stoker Preliminary ballot. And @tananarivedue.bsky.social @claymcleod.bsky.social @sgj.bsky.social @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social for their essays from that book also making the prelim ballot.

👀 Stephen King really liked @natcassidy.bsky.social's forthcoming collection, I KNOW A PLACE! "These stories are f*cking great. They rule. So read them." – Stephen King Incredibly grateful King even agreed to read the collection, but this? We couldn't have asked for a better reaction...

We are so excited to reveal the cover for ALL HALLOWS’ EVE! 🕸️ Horror legend Ellen Datlow presents this chilling anthology of 19 original short stories from a world-class line-up of authors, delving into the histories and traditions of the spookiest season of the year… Coming September 2026 🎃

For the @strangehorizons.bsky.social 2026 Criticism Special, I wrote about weird fiction being constituted by weird reading, vis a vis Sederholm and Woofter’s The Weird and @undertow.bsky.social’s The Best Weird Fiction of the Year, Vol. 1., in tribute to Maureen Kincaid Speller. It’s a long one.

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this. Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

how vast, then, the burden of a whale, bearing on his back a column of two hundred fathoms of ocean!

I can still remember when white men took automatic weapons to statehouses in 2020 to protest Covid lockdowns. Basically armed militias occupying state legislatures. All with the support and cooperation of police. Not one of them was shot down. Not one of them was detained.

Weeelllll if you want to read about at least one person learning* to see the world through other eyes... may I recommend the anti-war, small acts of resistance and malicious compliance** book ONE MESSAGE REMAINS? *being forced **also occasionally blowing up train tracks

Do thou, too, remain warm among ice.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

A straight up fucking execution.

It's a game to them.

Every Democratic member of Congress should be in Minnesota right now. Every single one.

"Just stay cool and don't make trouble until the midterms" is not going to cut it as an opposition response to a murderous regime whose masked thugs are killing people in the streets and then attempting to round up witnesses and destroy evidence.
