Set in 1915, @danchaon.bsky.social's spellbinding new novel, "One of Us," explores American marginalization and violence via telepathic twins in a traveling circus. Just out from @henryholtbooks.bsky.social. Here's my rave review for @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/b...

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Choosing Chris Evans over Pedro Pascal makes no sense. Choosing Miles Teller over Callum Turner makes no sense. These movies are lying to themselves and to the viewer and I can’t abide. CAN’T. ABIDE.

Appetites There are still days when I want to lickthe plate clean, and by that, I mean really clean; no smears of berry sauce, noerrant pea quivering in a dab of aspic on the white china plate’s thin side.

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next.
This is what dictatorship looks like.

Re-watching 1980’s SUSPECT to get my young Liam Neeson fix *and* revisit John Mahoney, terminal pro. Cher as hard-working, hard-bitten defense attorney is cherry on cake, etc. etc. Quaid is pretty but he’s dead to me.
