Six books including Sea of Tranquility, The Glass Hotel, and Station Eleven. St. John is just my middle name; the books go under M.
One of my favorite things about NYC is that the entire fleet of NYC ferries was named by 2nd graders. I think about this every time my run takes me past the docks.
Anyway, there are people who went to work this morning aboard The Tooth Ferry and the Ocean Queen Rockstar.

A new novel by @emilymandel.bsky.social OH HELL YES
If you have not yet read "Station Eleven" or "The Glass Hotel" get to your local library, bookstore, bookshop.org or libro.fm. I would read "Station Eleven" first, just because a couple of characters from that book appear in the next one.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.

Trump is the president he said he would be. He’s always fawned over dictators. There’s just not a ton of room for surprise re: tariffs, targeting immigrants, LGBTQ rights, alignment w/ Putin, etc.
But I have to say, I really, really thought cancer research might be a bipartisan interest.
