Under Trump, Protected Wild Horses Are Going to Slaughter
A legal loophole allows the government to sell mustangs on the cheap, stripping them of protections and clearing their path to destruction.

Summer is a magical time of year in NYC, when the breeze seems to say, “No matter how often you check, it will always smell like you stepped in dog poo. God bless.”

Really glad that Apple added Spatial mode to photos because the one thing I’ve been missing in my life is my phone prompting me to look at a photo I forgot existed with an effect that makes me ask, “Am I asleep or having a stroke?”

I have spent the last week being reminded how fragile we all are. So, I guess the takeaway is take care of yourself, be nice, and ask for /offer help as needed. Doesn’t really seem that hard, does it?

We are the LARGEST union in trade publishing history, and we want better for our workers in order to make a sea change for creatives everywhere. Let's take a stand together against the existential threats to the arts, whether stagnating wages, the AI slop machine, and destructive layoffs.
Screen cap of Publishers Lunch article stating "Hachette Boom Group Employees Unionize" by Erin Somers. Start of article: "Employees of Hachette Book Group announced they have unionized with Washington-Baltimore News-Guild Local 32035 of the AFL-CIO. They have signed up a supermajority of 600 workers, making it the largest union in trade publishing history. The union says it is seeking better benefits, protections, and rights for workers, as well as increased equity, transparency, and agency in the workplace."

@daddyrolleda1.bsky.social Hey, I say this as a fan: I recently purchased a mug from your shop (the d20 patent image) and the quality of the image on the mug is terrible. I in no way am asking for a refund or anything. The lines are too fine to print well. Just an fyi.

I know there is so much going on, and there is a part of our lizard brains that tells us lowering our focus is an existential threat, but it’s also okay to shut off the phone, watch a silly movie, or simply consider the value of this dog:

I saw Godfather Part 2 for the first time yesterday, at Lincoln Center. Was blown away by the film, and by Robert Duvall in particular. To find out that he has passed today is deeply moving. I can’t think of another actor quite like him.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

"As if Wes Anderson collaborated with Edgar Allan Poe to make Friends." Thanks for the apt description, @byseanferrell.bsky.social! Have you pre-ordered @jeffsomers.bsky.social's FIVE FUNERALS yet? Out 2.22.26! 📖 links.ruadanbooks.com/FF #BookSky #ThrillerSky #HorrorSky
A dark background photograph of a chalk outline on asphalt features the Ruadán Books logo in the upper left corner and an image of the book cover for Five Funerals: Choose Your Own Perilous Path by Jeff Somers. Text to the right reads “Coming 02.22.26” and beneath the book cover reads: “Gently macabre, as if Wes Anderson collaborated with Edgar Allan Poe to make Friends. I genuinely love this book.”—Sean Ferrell, author of Numb & Man in the Empty Suit
