It was fun while it lasted.
To all the supporters here, to my spectacular colleagues, and to the booksellers, critics, agents, readers, and above all, the phenomenal authors I was blessed to work with:
Thank you thank you thank you thank you

Yesterday, I suggested that the category 5 cyclone bearing down on India and Bangladesh in the midst of a pandemic and refugee crisis was a portent of climate cascades to come. Overnight, historic flooding breached two dams in Michigan, leaving Midland under 9 feet of water.
During a pandemic, an intense cyclone is bearing down on India and Bangladesh, flooding has broken dams and submerged Michigan under 9 ft of water, hurricane season is around the corner and wildfires will follow. We have exited the “human climate niche.” https://t.co/oCuThmOzFN
A revolution has taken place in women’s intellectual life in the last 100 years. But the writing of women’s history lags behind. SQUARE HAUNTING by @francescawade & THE EQUIVALENTS by @magsrdoherty, both fantastic, are helping it catch up. https://t.co/yheyUgMdFR
Just finished @NYTBen's excellent MBS and highly recommend it to anyone puzzled or outraged by Saudi Arabia. Brings to life both the powerful appeal of MBS's gift of a more normal social life to young Saudis and the absolute medieval horror of his crimes. https://t.co/MZkSzeOTQC
I'm struck by how thoroughly male this contretemps is, especially given the #MeToo subject matter at the heart of it. (One data point: Of the nine people whose words are quoted here, not a woman among them.) https://t.co/hkd2xks0Z3
'Davis's confrontational pose made for an unusually anxious workplace. At one NLR meeting, he stunned his audience into silence with the letter he had sent to Eugene Genovese, who had complained of being spurned by the journal: "Dear Professor Genovese, Fuck you."'
Allies of jailed Saudis, having lost faith in the prospects of appealing to their own government, are turning to lawyers and lobbyists in DC and elsewhere to press their cases.

Journalistic high-mindedness from @benyt, the guy who pubbed the Trump dossier without fact-checking a shred of it and who later refused to retract the Trump-instructed-Cohen-to-lie-to-Congress story. Rich with irony and quite brazen. https://t.co/C3vcxjHSw1
