Oh, gosh, this is such sad news. Any time a books vertical shutters, it sucks for all of us. I'm so sorry.
Today, Paste Magazine shuttered all its non-music verticals, a choice I am both professionally and personally heartbroken about. Sadly, I am once again looking for a place that wants to let me write about Books and TV on the regular, so hit me up if that’s you or anyone you know.

A HUGE win for James Comey in his criminal case.
A federal judge orders the DOJ to turnover ALL OF THE GRAND JURY MATERIALS to Comey's defense team.
About to drop a new episode walking through the details of this scathing order on my YouTube channel!

Axios says Ted Cruz has started positioning himself for a 2028 White House bid. So that’s him and Marjorie Taylor Greene so far. Should be quite the 🤡 show.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is the vile pig who got famous for chasing around teenagers who survived a school shooting, harassing them with a camera crew so she could be Facebook famous.
Just remember: Never interrupt your enemy when they’re helping you.

Important thread from our reporter @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social ⤵️
1/ The night of the raid, Jonahyker López awoke to the sound of a helicopter over his building and federal agents yelling, “Open the door!” López told me he sat on the edge of his bed, wishing that his own door would become invisible. But the door came down and agents burst in. 🧵

Friends, you of course recognize John De Hart as the charismatic, powerhouse lead of "Champagne and Bullets"/"GetEven". Despite this, IMDb only has him ranked as the 48,360th most famous person in entertainment.
