Happy Indie Bookstore Day! If you’re hankering for a few signed copies of my books, I got to swing by @interabangbooks earlier this week to sign some Duck & Moose books!
A photo of me (Kirk Reedstrom) holding copies of three Duck & Moose books. I am smiling, wearing a checkered shirt and grey blazer. I am inside of Interabang Books, and behind me are shelves made of light wood, many books, a cash register, and orb pendant lights.

In his @status.news newsletter @oliverdarcy.bsky.social reports the White House got Getty to delete this photo (from a Thanksgiving White House PHOTO-OP STUNT) because Karoline Leavitt was offended It ran only in a Swiss newspaper. It would be a shame if you retweeted and Streisanded it

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Posting is a constant reminder that you can arrange two dozen uncomplicated words in a straightforward fashion and any number of people will read them out of order, skip half of them, or in some other way misperceive them, so you might as well write to your own satisfaction and call it a day.

If you want to rest in the shade of clinical-grade tomfoolery, free of all contaminants and impurities, you're in the right place. I get every batch tested.

The advantage of moving ever deeper into a shadowy and all-encompassing silence is that I can't hear anything, but I can keep sending out flares. Ideal, really.

There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

Wild North American sugarplums are boneless, but European sugarplums have tiny, razorlike skeletons. Inbreeding, I think.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

What I don’t understand about the wealthy class is their goddamned attitude toward paying taxes. If, as they say, the first and only duty of the US government is to protect us and our property, who, then, has the most to lose? How about the ones that have the most. Shouldn’t they pay more?

And cut the world in two –
And see what worms are eating

A shout out to this solid dude, Don Winslow, who came to my little bookstore, Interabang Books, on Indie Bookstore Day a few years ago. And cheers to all authors who are out supporting indies today. And to my book selling brothers and sisters, especially those in Texas, keep your chins up.

In a nutshell: — The Espionage Act contains a provision that criminalizes the disclosure of national secrets through gross negligence. — The law does not require that the info be classified, it refers simply to national defense information. Arrest them. Immediately.

Shout out to independent bookstores everywhere. Here’s a gem in Chinatown, NYC. They’ve also got a little reading room and an espresso bar in the back. (44 Mulberry St.) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Store front of a bookstore. Dark red awning with white letters reading, You & Me Books, and their telephone number 646.559.1165. The 44 on one side refers to their location, 44 Mulberry St.
