Tommy Cassell of the Worcester T&G says it’s a broken left wrist.

I don't know what's going on with Bouchercon this year, but many writers are being denied panels (after the refund deadline has passed), and most panels have only three or four writers on them, when five has been the norm. I got a panel, but it could easily accommodate two more writers. What's up?

once again I am asking for a democratic party that actually does what republicans claim they will do

Trump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."

It was better when they just let us see the local ads. I miss the Sullivan Tire guy.

Watching a game on MLBtv is like a psychological experiment to see how much viewers can take. The repetition of the ads is maddening.

If you BOSCH fans are missing Titus Welliver in his giant belt, THE WESTIES is the show for you.

I've given it a lot of thought, and I'm prepared to make my endorsement for the next senator from Maine.

Sure, why chance retaining a shred of dignity at this point.

Axios is reporting that Platner has said he won't file paperwork to withdraw before Monday, which is the final day he can do so (and four days from now). www.axios.com/2026/07/09/g...

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes and he told me this is the water, and this is the well. Drink full and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within.

Happy 4th of July 🎇

Watching the latest Ken Burns documentary, and I have to say, there's not a lot of great footage of the Revolutionary War. Anyway, Happy 4th!

Moderate Democrats fear they’re on the verge of losing the party’s ideological civil war to progressives.

Today’s the day! Publication day for Waves of Burden. It’s surreal. This book and I have been on quite a journey since I wrote the first draft in 2022. I experienced so much, good and bad, as you would expect for over four years. I wrote this novel with 1/2

THE ONES IN THE CORNER is out in the world! If you fancy a strange and violent tour of an Atlanta underworld I totally made up, but probably also existed in some form, check it out. And if you like it, I’d sure appreciate you telling your friends and leaving a review on Goodreads or Amazon.

I’m so appreciative of @leematthewgoldberg.bsky.social and his supportive words! Coming in less than three weeks. Ride the waves! Paperback preorder link in the comments.

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

I'm sure a tangled rights situation is to blame, but there's something very obvious missing here, Criterion Channel!

"So, what's your take?" "This is the water, and this is the well. Drink full, and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within." "100% disagree."

Here is a short list of tech I have been vocally skeptical of since it first rose to prominence, despite countless people assuring me it was the inevitable future: Cryptocurrency Blockchain The Metaverse Augmented Reality Tesla Autopilot/Full Self-Driving Smart Contracts DAOs NFTs Generative AI

THE BRIDE! reminded me of a lot of 80s indies - really uneven, but tried a lot of mostly enjoyable stuff. Answers the question nobody asked: What if we threw The Bride of Frankenstein in a blender with Sid and Nancy, Natural Born Killers, 30s gangsters movies and musicals, and Goth videos?

I guess we know why #Survivor stopped doing the live reunion.

Oh no! I never got to meet him, but he did such a brilliant job on the LOWDOWN ROAD cover. Absolutely nailed it, and contributed immensely to the book getting the attention it did. RIP.

Tony Stella has died. He was a brilliant artist & kind friend. When I began writing for @brightwalldarkroom.com, he was my 1st artistic collaborator, & his art--vivid, dreamy, evocative--made my scribblings seem professional. Intense, passionate, & dedicated to his craft like few I've ever known.
