Bc if you're not part of the corrupt system, you're a fool. When I'm lying to you & you know I'm lying & I know that you know that I'm lying, & on & on & on, that's how countries collapse."

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · 4d agoIt's not about one US Senate seat. It's about all of us together. It's about a belief that we can take our government back from the very people who want to monetize us at every turn. The fomentors of inequality. The drivers of war and genocide and apartheid. We get to decide.

Did Gen X have a plan? What liberations did Lollapalooza promise?Has it delivered on some? Failed on others? Why? These - or even more compelling questions - will be addressed directly and indirectly in The Last Temptation of Beck, from @josie.zone which releases on 10/6. www.beckbook.com

What a pleasure to hear @sarahweinman.com read from Catch the Devil by @pamelacolloff.bsky.social “What made him so dangerous was not his intelligence or cunning, but rather how readily the institutions that were supposed to uphold the law and protect the most vulnerable had amplified his lies.”

An exceptional piece of writing from @leanderalphabet.bsky.social that sums the whole World Cup up defector.com/fifa-got-wha...
What's cool about books is that even after World Cups are over, you can still read them to make sense of what you just saw. You can pick up a copy of mine, THE LONG GAME, at, say, @bookculture.com in Long Island City. Where you'll find it on, oh, you know, the non-fiction BEST-SELLERS TABLE.
Strongly pro-Spain (and satisfied) sentiments at the PS1/MOMA watch party in Queens.
Like Odysseus shooting the arrow through the axe handles.
A World Cup made up entirely of 3rd-place games, please

“For most of his adult life, Paul Skalnik, a former police officer, pretended to be someone he was not…” @pamelacolloff.bsky.social in @postopinions.bsky.social… www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
Opinion | He had an incentive to lie. Then he testified in 37 cases.
Jailhouse testimony can earn witnesses a lighter sentence. Is that a problem?

Dallas friends! I'll be at @interabangbooks.bsky.social on Wednesday night (July 15), talking about my new book, CATCH THE DEVIL. @kellydearmore.bsky.social wrote this terrific piece about the book for the @dallasobserver.com. www.dallasobserver.com/news/pamela-...
In a new book, an award-winning journalist exposes the con man who fooled her too
In "Catch the Devil," Pamela Colloff details how a prolific jailhouse snitch manipulated the courts for decades — and, for a moment, even got the better of her.
