The new Myles Dungan historical novel was a delight! Witty, edgy, smart, it follows the travails of an Irish-born detective in San Francisco in the 1880s....highly recommended. @mylesdungan.bsky.social @irishlittimes.bsky.social @irishlitsoc.bsky.social @publisherswkly.bsky.social

Still our best news source, I'm embarrassed to say. But I love Colbert ....and you should, too.

WTF

MAGA makes sure ZERO help is on the way.
That tells you literally everything you need to know about how much they care about our children’s health and safety.

We must resist Trump- and everything he represents- with everything we have, before it is too late.
