New York State generates ~$360 billion in fed tax revenue. NYC generates $12 billion more in tax revenue to Albany than it gets back in funding. NYC tax revenue is the engine for subsidies to Trump-voting upstate regions. We should probably start sitting on that bag. www.mediaite.com/media/news/j...

Didn’t write enough this weekend then had one of those Monday morning #writing sessions that make me certain the thing I’m working on is an absolute dumpster fire so it can only get better from here.

If your first novel was not a traditional “success,” where do you find the confidence to write the second novel?

…Asking for a friend.

The image is a drawing from the movie JAWS and features a minimalist, white outline of a stylized shark on a dark gray background. The shark is depicted with its mouth wide open, revealing jagged teeth, and has a large circular eye. Inside the shark’s mouth, there is a simplistic figure of a person. Across the shark and the person, bold red text overlays the image, reading “My Novel” and “Me.” The background is plain, allowing the white outline and text to stand out prominently.

The image features a book cover and an e-reader displaying the same cover design. The book, standing upright, is titled "AMERIKALAND" by Danny Goodman. The cover artwork is stylized, depicting an abstract city skyline in shades of blue with a prominent bridge spanning across the scene. Above the skyline, the sky is illustrated with orange and yellow flame-like shapes. The e-reader, to the right and slightly overlapping, also shows the identical cover design. Below the cityscape, the author's name is prominently displayed in white against a teal background.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

After practice today, I asked Natasha Cloud about Trump’s callous rhetoric directed towards Zohran Mamdani in the days since Zohran’s Democratic mayoral primary win here in NYC. As always, Tash spoke with compassion, with urgency, with morality.

By the way I love to blurb forthcoming books & rarely have the opportunity. But you can count on me to do to a good book right & champion its way in the world! Just ask 75% of authors I've blurbed, @ddouglasgoody.bsky.social & @upfromsumdirt.bsky.social. So writers, keep me in mind as your blurber!
