And so the resistance begins. US Treasury building, 2/4/25. Elizabeth Warren speaking, followed by chants of “Shut down the Senate!”
May this be the first of many.

Two friends in their 20s came to us after evacuating their west-side home Tuesday. We had to relocate again due to new fires. One said yesterday "I am just SO TIRED of 'living through things.'" My heart breaks for young people who've never known anything but the corrosive madness of recent years.

Morning update: we are safe from fires, but smoke is everywhere. AQI 198. Feels apocalyptic. I walked down the street for donuts to serve our friends who evacuated their home and stayed over last night, to try to restore a sense a normalcy, and these were the views.

To be clear: it’s already very bad. But the wind is hampering the firefighting efforts and the fires are exploding in area and intensity.

"...drying the hills and the nerves to flash point. For a few days now we will see smoke back in the canyons, and hear sirens in the night...." - Joan Didion, "The Santa Anas"
The wind is just now starting to pick up. It's gonna be a long day and night in Los Angeles.

2024 was a dumpster fire in many ways, but it was the best year of my career thanks to George S and Gretchen W, two of my all-time fave book clients. #TheSituationRoom #TrueGretch (#1 & #4 NYT).
Happy 2025, all! Looking forward to telling more stories and bringing you more books in the new year.

Just finished reading @jonathaneig.bsky.social's KING, and it is everything you could hope for in a biography: A well-researched, searingly honest portrait of a complex and layered man. Beautifully written, impeccably researched. And unfortunately timely.

Betty Gilpin taking over as Mary Todd Lincoln in Oh Mary! is the greatest news we all could have hoped for. She will be bonkers and touching and perfect.

A peculiar hallmark of many who support the president-elect is the lack of understanding--or caring!--about how his policies might harm them. Example number eleventy billion below, a quote from an undocumented worker in today's NYT magazine.

From this morning's NYT Flashback quiz, my new favorite piece of music trivia:
"ABBA's song 'Dancing Queen' debuts. The group picks its bold clothing because costumes are tax deductible, as long as no one would wear them on the street."

Like, seriously -- have they thought this through? So, they're requiring Sarah McBride to use the men's room? Here's a photo of Sarah McBride. How happy are the men at the urinals going to be, having a woman walk through because Nancy Mace and Mike Johnson insisted that's where she belongs?

Welp, looks like everybody's over here now, so I'll start over yet again. ISO book people, comics, travelers, weirdos, sporty spices, smarty pantses, journalists and puppies. I have zero followers! You could be my first. Hey, @karaswisher.bsky.social, can you give me a little boost?
