Honestly rude because my new book is this, but 300 pages.

Mos Def in a movie’s opening credits? You know you’re about to see something good. No skips.

If you’re looking for something joyous in this ghoulish hellscape, may I recommend @questlove.bsky.social’s incredible doc about the music on SNL. I kept clapping, in my living room. Inspiring!

Authors Against Book Bans @authorsabb.bsky.social · 26/01/2025

President Trump's DOE has made themselves clear: they will support book banners in their efforts to strip our institutions of learning of the books that define them. So let us be perfectly clear: we're going to do whatever we can to try and stop them.

Today the DOE announced plans to dismiss 11 outstanding complaints against book bans, and to eliminate the position of Book Ban Coordinator at the Office of Civil Rights (OCR). This distortion of the intended work of the OCR--the protection of civil rights and students' freedoms in our nation's schools--is negligent, grossly un-American, and in direct conflict with freedom of speech, a bedrock right enshrined in the Constitution.

Authors Against Book Bans unequivocally stands against all such attempts at censorship and discrimination. We stand with families, students and educators across the country who exercise free speech every time they open a book, and with the 71% of Americans who are opposed to book bans. Book bans do not protect children; history teaches us that they are a terrifying step toward tyranny.

Not to be basic but I love everything about The Bear, including, but not limited to: Richie’s White Squall poster, Carmy’s nose to chin ratio, the soundtrack, the cameos (fucking Xmas!!!! And Forks!!!!), every second of the sublime Ayo Edebiri, every second of Matty, the invisible cat, everything!

Books Are Magic, yes, but libraries are even better. No cuts! Libraries are vital resources for all. If ACAB, then ALAN—all librarians are necessary.

Ann Patchett’s new book is a bucolic pandemic sex mystery, you heard it here first. (I loved every page.)

RIP to Nicholas Gray, the founder of Gray’s Papaya, the best restaurant in New York City. Just happened to be wearing this today. Rest in peace and sauerkraut.
