NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:

Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.

Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

I'll say more before too long, but for now: Thanks to anyone who has ever read and supported the Post's books coverage.

I've given a lot of support to writers over the years, and someone said, "You should charge for this kind of service."

I never wanted to... but now I do. Why? So I can take the money and turn it around to pay other writers to grow @debutiful.bsky.social even more!

Macaulay Culkin pays tribute to his on-screen mother Catherine O’Hara:

“Mama. I thought we had time. I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you. But I had so much to say. I love you. I'll see you later.”

I created @debutiful.bsky.social as a passion project because I couldn't hack the freelance life.

My goal was 1 book list and 1 interview a month.

January 2026 > the first 16 months total.

Please call Hochul, thank her for these words, and tell her to back them up with ACTION by supporting and signing New York 4 All, a bill that would prevent local and state agencies from collaborating with ICE.

Call her at 518-474-8390 today!
Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign.

Gregory Bovino must also be fired.

No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

Great read from @lydiakiesling.bsky.social. Debutiful lives and dies with book listicles and interviews. Never dipped into reviews for a myriad of reasons. I think a lot of what I do is interesting, but I wish it had more depth.
When the AI slop summer reading list dropped last year I knew I had to write about making book lists. Thanks to @thebaffler.com for letting me go long with bewildered nostalgia & regret on 20 years of Internet book culture & how we made the slop book list inevitable. thebaffler.com/after-the-fa...

The labor involved in making lists was as close to the opposite of a transcendent reading experience as a disillusioned culture worker could get.

Stephen Pittman, a 19-year-old man accused of setting fire to Jackson’s only synagogue, Beth Israel, declared that “Jesus Christ is lord” after the judge asked him if he understood his rights in federal court today.

My writing process is very much “post my word count and ask for feedback throughout” instead of writing silently.

As someone who has spent over a decade in the literary industry but was never a fiction writer, I’m just flying by the seat of my pants.

Sent 750 words to a writer I respect and whose opinion I trust.

Sobbing that it's not 100% trash.

It *IS* the year I start writing after years of saying I never would, so I could focus on the craft of interviewing authors.

Alien abduction survivor, first person and very interior, hopefully in the vein of a mash-up of Laura van den Berg, Kelly Link, Samantha Hunt, and John Darnielle.
2026 is the year you finally start writing! ... Right?
