First 5/5 read of the year. This is the first work by @gabino.bsky.social I have read.

Protagonist in search of redemption? Check. Violence at the US-Mexico border? Check. Incisive portrait of US under Trump? Check. Demented spooky shit? Check. And, finally, a poetic ending? Check. This had it all.

Here are the bestselling books of 1925 (in the US). The only book and author I personally recognize is "Arrowsmith" and Sinclair Lewis; the rest are merely Wikipedia entries at this point. All fame is fleeting. We are all dust in the wind.

Yeah, social media is bad, but the coming here every morning and following cool, creative folks who also hate fascism brings me joy.

Hanif Kureishi, still not pulling any punches.

Jesus fucking Christ
