Kevin Tracy (Kevin Tracy)I finally signed up for Parler a couple weeks ago. Admittedly, I haven’t been terribly active posting on there, but I have been following a few people and trying the Parler experience out. …
Today, we’re introducing new ways to discover writers on our homepage, as well as the beta version of Substack Reader, a new way to keep up with your newsletters.
I’m hoping it might add JSON feed and h-feed support as well, but it’ll need a lot of work to displace feed readers like Monocle, Together, or Indigenous as my daily drivers.
Not sure we need anymore It’s A Wonderful Life discourse but I’ve seen a couple of professional critics in my timeline completely misunderstanding the point of the film so I feel I must intervene for the sake of reason. pic.twitter.com/NYIlXQIAkF

Keenan has lived all over the world but nowhere quite as strange as Centerlight Island, which is split between the United States and Canada. The only thing weirder than Centerlight itself is his neighbor Zarabeth, aka ZeeBee.
ZeeBee is obsessed with the island's history as a Prohibition-era smuggling route. She's also convinced that her beloved dog, Barney, was murdered--something Keenan finds pretty hard to believe.
Just about everyone on Centerlight is a suspect, because everyone hated Barney, a huge dog--part mastiff, part rottweiler--notorious for terrorizing the community. Accompanied by a mild-mannered new dog who is practically Barney's opposite, ZeeBee enlists Keenan's help to solve the mystery.
As Keenan and ZeeBee start to unravel the clues, they uncover a shocking conspiracy that dates back to Centerlight's gangster past. The good news is that Keenan may have found the best friend he's ever had. The bad news is that the stakes are sky-high.
And now someone is after them. . . .
Felt like a very slow start, but I was always reading it late and night and dozing off.
Strong, well laid out characters. The plot was slow until about the midpoint, but then picked up and took off. Once I got to the middle I couldn’t put it down.
I guessed the ending roughly at the point all the suspects were being laid out, but it was exactly the nice finish I hoped it would be. Like most of Korman’s book, this was a fun little romp.
While there are others (of Korman’s) out there I’d like to see made before it, I could see optioning the rights to this for a movie or an hour long ABC Saturday morning movie (if they did that anymore) or a Netflix original.

The story passed down for generations was that the wealthy Quaker merchant Johns Hopkins was also an abolitionist. After he died in 1873, his multi-million-dollar bequest for the university and hospital bearing his name seemed an extension of an enlightened vision. So the discovery of census records that Hopkins owned enslaved people—one in 1840, four a decade later … is shocking. Hopkins president asked Professor Martha S. Jones, an authority on African-American history, to lead continuing research about the founder’s links to slavery. We ask why it’s important.
