My latest book, The Wounds of My Father, sequel to The Blood of My Mother, out now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, etc.
I tell my cat βI knowβ when she meows at me but if Iβm being honest? I donβt always know
Canβt believe the knives are already out in the stores. The Ides of March gets more commercialized every year.
He nails it.
Better not call it a βvaccineβ or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.
An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case.
Money quote: βI expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.β
Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
Stand with science. Always.
Trust me, bro.
Super Sunday. Good day for Football. Bad day for Chickens.
Indeed, every day is a bad day for Chickens. While you gnosh on wings today I offer this annual reminder that in the US, we lay, hatch, grow, slaughter, bring to market, buy, cook, and eat, one million chickens per hour.
Good time for a reminder:
Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.
what was supposed to be a speech about economics quickly devolved into a litany of Donnyβs well-worn grievances about βthe transgenders,β and all the other crazypants shit that pinballs around his worm-ravaged brain β and it was incoherent as fuck.

Great letter in today's Guardian. What sort of free speech is prevented by factchecking, Zuck?
That assertion is wrong. The city was in the process of negotiating a new contract with the fire department at the time the budget was being crafted, so additional funding for the department was set aside in a separate fund until that deal was finalized in November. In fact, the cityβs fire budget increased more than $50 million year-over-year compared to the last budget cycle, according to Blumenfieldβs office, although overall concerns about the departmentβs staffing level have persisted for a number of years.
I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year β which is circulating widely on the right β is false.
As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

My message to Zuck
everyday I wake up in a country that I no longer know.
It's been a real joy and privilege to have worked with the brilliant @jackbutlereditor.bsky.social on both Clairmont and Love and Other Poisons. Sphere are lucky to get him!! www.thebookseller.com/news/jack-bu...
Some more fun Old English words:
The Old English for dung beetle is tordwifel (turd weevil) and a queen bee is a bΔomΕdor (bee mother)
[my own photo - you can just about see the bee!]
This ignorant lunatic thinks Canadians are eager to give up their universal healthcare so they can have mass shootings in their grade schools.
How to write: Stop not writing. Keep your butt in the chair. Write really bad small sections of the wholeβpassages, moments, episodes, memoriesβtil you have an incredibly shitty 1st draft. Then take out the boring parts, the lies and pretensions. Then write a better 2nd draft.
Modus ponens?
Can we just admit that we NEED immigrants for our economy to run, from agriculture to high tech?
Weβre a goddamn nation of immigrants, arenβt we? Letβs be proud of our immigrant heritage!
