Congratulations!!! What an extraordinary and epic run! You left the book world a better place than you found it, and I’m grateful for that. Now that you’re retired let’s start up Mishap again. I’ll track down a mimeograph machine!

Hey all, for the first time in over two years, we took a short break on The Thieves Guild. The podcast will be back on Monday. I know, THREE DAYS OFF! We're clearly slacking.

Oh no! He was so under appreciated. “Texas, “Road to Hell,” … so many great songs and such a compelling voice.

I don't think I could love London Grammar any more than I do. Such lovely music.

The Thieves Guild Friday Binge - Chapters 77-81
This binge contains 5 episodes. Episodes included: 1. The Stillness and the Burr (November 10, 2025) 2. Opening Pleasantries (November 11, 2025) 3. The Vote (November 12, 2025) 4. Chaos in the Council (November 13, 2025) 5. Escape From Harvest House (November 14, 2025) --- Episode 1: The Stillness and the Burr In a rare moment of peace at the Tower, Maela struggles with the unfamiliar comfort of domestic life alongside Darla. What should be a perfect respite becomes a source of internal conflict when a simple request to help the mysterious Prosper reveals deeper tensions. Episode 2: Opening Pleasantries Vesper and his allies arrive at Harvest House for a crucial guildmaster council, only to face immediate resistance at the door. When Tim, the Harvest guard at the entrance, attempts to block their entry based on selective rule enforcement, Karch demonstrates his mastery of political maneuvering with a calculated power play. But that is merely a prelude to the surprises and political lies that occur as the council dinner begins. Episode 3: The Vote During a tense dinner gathering of guild leaders, Ralan discovers that Captain Rogers has masterfully infiltrated multiple powerful guilds while secretly serving the Thieves. As allegiances blur and tensions rise, suspicious glances between Rogers and the supposedly unshakeable Guildmaster Quinto hint at deeper conspiracies. While Karch seethes with barely contained fury and Vesper watches the chaos with calculated interest, Ralan must make his choice: The loyal captain Rogers or the former Blade that tried to assassinate him. Episode 4: Chaos in the Council A crucial vote for the new guildmaster explodes into near-violence when Polo demands Ralan's arrest. As swords are drawn and guards advance, only the respected Quinto's intervention prevents bloodshed in the guild hall. While immediate conflict is avoided, the simmering tensions set the stage for a political powder keg that could re-ignite the city in violence at any moment. Episode 5: Escape From Harvest House Alard plays a masterful long game, fooling his captors with weeks of calculated deception. As he finally makes his move, slipping through Harvest House's defenses with the grace of a predator returning to its hunting grounds, he ponders the new era of peace now secured for Ness' future with Rogers installed as Guildmaster Craft.

Here's a live report on the meeting with Judge Sara Ellis and Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino.
U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino is on the witness stand in the courtroom of U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis. He is wearing his typical Border Patrol uniform.

"Good morning, your honor," he says.
Ellis is calling Bovino to the witness stand.

Will start a new thread for his testimony.

I enjoyed this so much. I won't spoil it for you by saying more, but just think about it: how can an autobiography be unauthorized?
Excerpts from The Unauthorized Autobiography of Benjamin Brick
This week, John P. Murphy brings us a terrifying look at identity, and ownership, in the not so distant future.
