Look who’s on Substack. My 1st post: “The biggest turkey? My mother’s broccoli mold.” Thanksgiving memories — broccoli in a Bundt cake pan, mix it with Jell-O, and call it a vegetable, even though it smelled like a Dumpster in August. Substack link (it’s free!) here: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Thanks, Sarasota County Library. I had the best time yesterday talking books, TV, dread, and how I wrote the WORST first novel ever published, bar none. Also? Got to have lunch with pals from high school and drinks with a pal from college! I just write books to do stand-up.

Deepest thanks to Holy Trinity Armenian Church in Cambridge, MA. Was so honored to speak there last night about the #ArmenianGenocide, ethnic cleansing, and my work. Great crowd, great questions, and great Armenian food!

Covfefe. Release the Epstein Files. (Also, about Trump’s rant below? The redistricting is constitutional. Also? Sounds like a very, very old man’s toddler meltdown.) #EpsteinTrumpFiles
