You don’t hear a lot about tone. The charms of tone often fall under “voice,” but there’s a distinction to be made. The 1st person POV in “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐭” is light but the tone drives it. It’s stubbornly effervescent in the face of life or death questions. @mhwesner.bsky.social #booksky #fiction

What Pablo Torre did was ridiculously impressive. Uncovered a conspiracy between rich guys, withstood a propaganda campaign by one of the richest guys in the world with a pretty good reputation, didn't buckle or panic, and just kept reporting. That's some Pulitzerin' right there.

I’m filled with white-hot rage at Olga Tolarczuk. I’ve spent every day of three decades struggling with my art. The art lives in the struggle; the product is only the last traces of the art. If you’re not in the struggle, you’re not making art. All respect I’ve had for her has instantly vanished.

I simply cannot square how we collectively allow false images like this to be so easily generated and disseminated. Like it's just accepted and we have to train ourselves and others to spot the lie. It is equal parts infuriating and frightening. These should not *exist*

Federal court orders Trump administration to restore historical panel exhibits at President’s House in Philadelphia. Happy Presidents Day.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

February 16, 2026
“All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary. In no case would it have been possible, once the deed was done, to prove that any falsification had taken place.”
George Orwell, 1984'

As if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's 1984 now existed, with its motto
"Ignorance is Strength," this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government
has the power it claims—to dissemble and disassemble historical truths when it has some domain
over historical facts. It does not.
The President's House is a component of Independence National Historical Park that
commemorates the site of the first official presidential residence and the people who lived there,
including people enslaved by President George Washington. On January 22, 2026, the National
Park Service ("NPS") removed panels, displays, and video exhibits that referenced slavery and
information about the individuals enslaved at the President's House.
Plaintiff City of Philadelphia ("the City" filed this lawsuit under the Administrative
Procedures Act ("APA") against the Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum…

CONCLUsION
For the reasons stated above, the Motion for Preliminary Injunction will be granted. The preliminary injunction will remain in place pending further litigation in this matter. There can b
no prejudice to Defendants' restoration of the status quo as of January 21, 2026, which requires that Defendants reinstall all panels, displays, and video exhibits that were previously in place.
Defendants shall further prevent any additions, removals, destruction, or further changes of any
kind to the President's House site, except in the event that a mutual written agreement is reachec between Defendants and the City of Philadelphia. An order will be entered.

today's small prose poem from Maureen Thorson is a marvel, but that first sentence — "It’s nearly Christmas." — just about gave me a panic attack. www.havehashad.com/fm8m7

November 11, 2025
Song
Maureen Thorson

It’s nearly Christmas. The bar’s half empty, which also means half full. Even the strangers know each other, the way people do when the righteous are in bed. An older man in a beret sits up front, with an amp and a guitar, and it’s too cold and late for irony. Suddenly, Hotel California. Everyone takes it up, a doxology in two dozen voices. What’s religion but everyone knowing the words? Afterwards, the bartender in cat-eye glasses laughs, says, “You guys bring out the worst in me, which is awesome.” The night fogs like breath on a mirror when we disperse.
