“The Ballad of Black Tom” LaValle, V

5/5 Retelling of HP Lovecraft story. Like the quiet way Tom has motivations for this story, & regrets, plus the way that his Blackness feels both a rebuke to Lovecraft but also a reflection of the times & society. He’s pushed to the villain & the world will pay

“The Weight of Blood” Jackson, T

5/5 Carrie but make it the horror of racism, both overt & internalized, even while trying to escape the horror of HS. It keeps some of the religious overtones w/o making it so OTT, & the characters are richer. More YA than the OG, still feels more authentic (175)

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas?

LUTNICK: Generally 10%

DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8%

LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff

DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Weird how time works isn’t it? In some US states a pregnant 11 year-old isn’t allowed an abortion because they need to deal with the “adult” consequences of getting pregnant, but 35 year-old neo-Nazis in the govt group chat are “boys” doing “things young boys do”

some people are fretting that "these people are up to something, that's why they're all here" but I suspect it's strictly because they are starved for attention and looking for fights. It's no fun to be them! Pity the person who pays money to rent a bluecheck who opens an account here too

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

By my count: Of the 15 Departments of the US Government, 13 launched new BlueSky accounts tonight (all but Justice and HUD), and all 13 have posted explicitly partisan political posts blaming Democrats and/or Chuck Schumer for the government shutdown.

Trump's federal agents shot Marimar Martinez, a US citizen, multiple times for allegedly menacing them with her car in Chicago. Only hours later, Kristi Noem and DHS started spreading disinformation about the shooting.

Now the official line is crumbling. 1/

Trump’s Secret Police Shot a Citizen. Then Damning New Info Emerged.

As the official Trump administration line about the shooting of a Chicago woman crumbles, Senator Chris Murphy is asking pointed questions about what really happened here. Will we ever get answers?

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.
