So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

WE’RE HIRING 📚🕵️‍♀️

The Mysterious Bookshop in Tribeca — the world’s oldest mystery-only bookstore (est. 1979) and recently named Best Independent Bookstore of 2025 by USA Today — is looking for a new bookseller to join our team.

This position may be part-time or full-time, depending on availability and experience, but one thing is non-negotiable: you must be available to work Saturdays (11:00am–7:00pm). If Saturdays don’t work for you, this won’t be the right fit.

We’re a small, hands-on crew. Everyone here does everything — selling books, fulfilling and shipping online orders, stocking shelves, assisting customers in-store and on the phone, helping with events, coordinating with USPS/UPS/FedEx/DHL, taking out trash and recyclables, and pitching in wherever needed. No task is beneath anyone.

What we’re looking for:
• Deep knowledge of and passion for mystery/thriller fiction
• Reliability and punctuality
• Initiative — the ability to jump in without being micromanaged
• Comfort working in a fast-paced retail environment

No prior bookselling experience is required, but serious familiarity with the genre absolutely is.

This is an incredible opportunity to work at the heart of the mystery community in New York City — surrounded by signed first editions, rare books, major author events, and readers who care deeply about the genre.

Please note: this position does not include health insurance benefits.

If you’re dependable, mystery-obsessed, and ready to start ASAP, we’d love to hear from you.

Send a resume and cover letter to:
ryan@mysteriousbookshop.com

In your cover letter, tell us what you read and why you belong at The Mysterious Bookshop.

And please share with any serious candidates you know!

A comment on a New York Times article in which someone from beautiful Vermont lavishes praise on AOC for most of a paragraph before ultimately deeming AOC "an excellent vice president for Gavin Newsom."

Emily Brontë, in a room full of publishers, walks to a chalkboard and writes "Wuthering Height." Then she adds an S to Height and draws two lines through it, making a dollar sign. The rest is history

The NYT says Democratic proposals for reforming ICE are “facing blowback.”

But blowback from who? Not the people! Polls show support for most reforms exceeds 60%, with some ideas reaching as high as 94% of the public!

When I Invited All of You Over to Watch the “The Big Game,” I Assumed You Knew I Was Talking about Human Chess I don’t know why you’re all so upset. I’m sorry if there’s some “other event” that you were all more excited about that’s apparently also happening...
