OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

Reengineering the assembly of this jumping gentleman. Here his cephalothorax is open so that you can see all the nuts, bolts, and protrusions holding him together. Just about ready to print... 🛠️

I hate to be that guy, but this is the five-alarm fire, and every elected Democrat and frankly, every Washington reporter should be ringing the bell. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. Nobody with a voice should give this administration a moment’s peace about it.
NEW: A second filing today from the DOJ tells Judge Xinis that in their view, since Mr. Abrego is in Bukele's custody, she can't order them to do anything further to bring him back since that's not what "facilitate" means.

They also say the deal with Bukele is classified and/or a state secret.

A network of X accounts is targeting Canada ahead of the election. The accounts are pumping out thousands of posts about the Canadian economy and alleged support within Canada for U.S. President Donald Trump’s annexation threat.

I've been a bit bummed since yesterday because of this. I know it's basically tariff roulette, so who knows where we will be when the plush arrive.
We have 2000 Crow Time plushes about to ship from China. Literally being loaded as we speak. And the time between when I paid for shipping and now the cost is just … yeah.

I thought we could get away without raising prices on them. I don’t think that’s the case any longer. My heart just hurts.

In 2020, when I had my 6th novel out (Mexican Gothic) and @sgj.bsky.social had The Only Good Indians at the same, I remember several stories about us describing us as debut novelists (those books broke out for us but we were both crusty oldies). Still makes me laugh. Sell a million copies, buddy.
Happiest book release day to @sgj.bsky.social . THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER is one of his best, and that’s saying something (I’ve read over 30 of his books)
