Terminal 8 at JFK is the worst in New York. Real “dying mall” vibes, right down to the cheap souvenir shops, the soft rock on the loudspeaker, the dozen empty storefronts, and an overwhelming dead-space energy. Everyone here hates being here.

Well, readers, you've done it: Even the one novel of mine that really tanked, Hummingbird Salamander, has now earned out its pretty large advance. Absolution earned out when it hit trade paperback, and the Ambergris reissues are selling very well. Thank you very much. Extremely grateful.

This story is great but man I am laughing at how much this guy looks like Michael McDonald - did any other genes even make it in? If you told me that he’d been the result of asexual reproduction by Michael McDonald I’d believe you

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

I'm not sure who saw this coming, but so far nearly all the jobs created during the second Trump administration have gone to women.

Line chart titled "So far during Trump's second term, just 8% of all job growth has gone to men" showing change in employment by gender since January 2025. Total nonfarm employment grew by 776,000 jobs through September 2026, with women gaining 711,000 positions (92% of growth) while men added only 65,000 jobs (8% of growth). Women's employment gains accelerated sharply through 2026, reaching 711,000 by September, while men's employment growth remained flat with brief periods of decline, including a drop of 96,000 jobs in February 2026.

Here's what Tucker Carlson is up to when he talks to his own audience, instead of interviewers from NPR or NY Times: Explaining that white people are facing extinction and the ADL is trying to cover it up. He concludes, "Noticing is hate. Noticing is violence." www.mediamatters.org/tucker-carls...

TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Again, what possible interest would the Anti-Defamation League have in attacking whites in South Africa who say they're being killed, especially since there are many, many hundreds who have been killed? And that's documented. That's not a guess, and it's not a conspiracy theory. And every single one of them was killed by a Black South African. This is intra-racial crime, and it is racially motivated.And the testimony of almost every survivor corroborates that. So why is it in the interest of the ADL not simply to deny it's happening, but to attack the survivors of it and their family members? You have to ponder that for a minute.

Here's Wikipedia's response to this racial conspiracy theory. Quote, white genocide is a political myth based on pseudoscience, pseudohistory, and ethnic hatred, and is driven by a psychological panic often termed white extinction anxiety.

White extinction anxiety, often referred to as white extinction anxiety. So let's just, I don't know, get the demographic numbers, which are publicly available for the biggest white countries in Europe and North America, and ask a really simple question. Is the percentage, the proportion, of the white population going up or down? Say over the past 50 years, has it gone up or down? Well, it's not only gone down, it's bottomed out. United States went from nearly 90% white over 60 years to probably less than half white.

So that's white extinction anxiety? No. Those are facts. So again, it's not enough to pretend that it's not happening. Wikipedia, like the ADL, like CBS News, like ABC News, feels the moral obligation to attack anyone who happens to notice what's happening. The facts are themselves racist. Objectively, again Wikipedia, white people are not dying out or facing extermination. The purpose of the conspiracy theory is to justify a commitment to a white nationalist agenda in support of calls to violence.

Noticing is hate. Noticing is violence.
