I'm writing a book!
I'm thrilled to announce that my first book, "Slaves to the Grave: The Wicked Rise and Deadly Fall of Rigor Mortis, Pantera, and Southern Metal," will be published by Da Capo Press in the fall of 2027. I couldn't be more excited.
Now for the easy part—writing the damn thing!

Amazing piece. So proud of Jenni
When @vandoliers.bsky.social set out to record what became Life Behind Bars, it led Jenni Rose to the final steps of a journey through gender dysphoria — and addiction/recovery — and a decision to come out as trans. We talked about it at @rollingstone.com

Trump’s mission is simple: to exert authoritarian control over all branches of the federal government. To do that, he has to break the back of the federal employee labor movement.
If Trump Crushes Federal Workers, We’re All Next
Bosses everywhere are itching to wage a DOGE-style war against their workers. That’s why it’s so important that Trump and Musk fail.

For those unfamiliar, the Associated Press is a non-profit cooperative formed by US news organizations that covers news for its 1,300 member papers, radio stations and TV stations. It is the foundation of the American press. It has always gotten the first seat and first question at official events.
Because AP continues to refuse to use 'Gulf of America,' it is being barred indefinitely from the Oval Office and Air Force One, but its journalists will be able to retain their credentials to the White House complex, according to Taylor Budowich, White House deputy chief of staff.
