Pinned
Been getting a lot of emails/DMs lately asking when the next Eric Carter book is coming out so I'm pinning this.
I'm glad so many have enjoyed the books. Thank you.
But sadly there won't be one. The publisher dropped the series due to lack of sales. Totally understandable business decision.

Newsom needs to be voted out and never allowed to hold political office again.
Let me tell y'all about guys like Newsom, because we learned the hard way in Dallas.
Eric Johnson was a respected Democratic state rep when he was elected mayor in 2019. This made sense, as Dallas is deep blue. Johnson's tenure began normally.
But then he started hanging out with Republicans. 🧵

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I brought this up on a recent episode of @worldbuildcast.bsky.social, and I owe my knowledge on the subject to the magnificent Tiffany Stern, whom I heard give a fascinating lecture on early modern time-keeping.
Had an intriguing editorial discussion recently: how did people in the past talk about 'minutes' when they didn't have watches or standardised times? How does that affect your thinking?

for context here, you also have to remember that Canadian-Chinese relations *cratered* in the last few years as a result of Beijing's hostage diplomacy. That the Canadians now have more trust in China than the United States is quite an achievement by Trump.
Okay this is way bigger than the article below suggested.
"The Prime Minister welcomed President Xi’s commitment to introducing visa-free access for Canadians travelling to China."

I honestly don’t expect anything to come of it but I am curious to see what happens next.
🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.
He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.
