The world is on fire but I got to meet some tiny rescue owls today.

Arrest the goddamn president

The cover has a light blue sky in the upper half. Charlotte's Web is written in blue-green letters, all joined by a spider's web. Hanging down from the C in Charlotte is a spider on a thread. In the lower half is a young girl in a[ponytail, wearing a red top. She's facing left, towards the spider, holding a pig under her left arm. A sheep looks on on the left. A goose looks on on the right. She's leaning on a wooden fence, on which the author's name is printed in red and Garth Williams's in black.

Ch. 7: Charlotte’s Web

The story behind the story. White decides to write about a spider; many drafts and “ripening time” later, he takes it to #UrsulaNordstrom; they collaborate with Garth Williams.
And what a result! #nonfictionkidlit #abramsbooks

A restrained (and deserved) ITYS.

This is not the best part of the firing, but it’s in the Top 10.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Quick reminder: Epstein.

Trump assumed a war would be helpful. It would justify emergency powers. It would deflect from his failures. It would make him seem larger.

But it is making him smaller, more hostage to what’s occurring than leader, more Netanyahu’s patsy than partner, another president sucked into forever war.

We just added a super cute banned books tote to our bookish totes collection! This is a new style along with our best selling composition notebook and library card totes. Find it at Hartfordyarnworks.com under “other goodies“

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

A minor league hockey team had a wiener dog race. Zero thoughts, just vibes and absolute chaos. A thing of beauty

The Feds Targeted Charlotte. Now a Local Democrat Who Helped ICE Faces Voters. - Bolts North Carolina lawmaker Carla Cunningham voted to mandate compliance with ICE, and derided immigrants on the House floor. The Democrat faces an intense March primary.

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."

She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!

When arguing with someone who calls you a genocidal maniac because you voted for HRC, you gotta have fun with it. 😉

whoa -- this is new. Trump has a significant rash-like injury on his neck today in addition to his disfigured hand

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

When you’re incapable of empathy.

Congratulations. You harassed a married staffer until she submitted to your perversions leading to her suicide and still kept your job because the Republican Party stands for nothing except the acquisition of power. Congrats, Tony. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I guess Operation Epic Fury is better branding than Operation Please Stop Talking About Epstein or Operation Maybe This Will Help Me in the Midterms or Operation We'll Work Out the Details Later.

Right? The props were a brilliant touch.

I think @hcrichardson.bsky.social has similar numbers (with less overhead and immeasurably more principle).

Damn. The expressions are all PERFECT.

Morning.

Personally, the biggest obstacle to book criticism (in addition to the loss of review outlets) is that I only want to read weird little books these days — and occasionally, weird big books.

When I like them, few outlets will care. When I dislike them, I don't have the heart to tell anybody.

Massie goes full beast mode today.

Gets on the house floor, shreds the DOJ and starts naming names from the Epstein files.
