White supremacist cops take a minority citizen, drive him out to the woods as a threat, and leave him there. No, it's not Mississippi in the 1930s, why do you ask?

I ordered mine from Blackwell’s a few weeks ago and it arrived Friday in the US. No shipping charge! And the book is delightful. Highly recommend ordering from Blackwell’s. I’m going to order more for holiday gifts.

Sometimes there can be a lot of variability in heat depending on growing conditions and ripeness. I always have a tiny taste to decide. Also, seeds and membrane are hottest parts, so you can cut that out if it’s too spicy.

Jeff Bezos and I are very different people. For one thing, he is a sociopathic billionaire who built his fortune by monopolizing bookselling while I am a penniless author of books. He was born in 1964 and is 62; I was born in 1971 and am 55.

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War — leading to a $93B windfall for the eight biggest oil companies in Q2 2026 alone. Meanwhile, Trump himself has raked in up to $15.5M from his fossil fuel investments since January. Don't forget what this was really all about.
