This week, @scalzi let me write a guest-editorial for his blog about the themes in my new crime thriller, *Red Team Blues*; specifically, about the ways that spreadsheets embody the power and the pitfalls of #ScienceFiction at its best *and* worst:

It's #IndependentBookstoreDay! I *love* bookstores, especially indies. I'm a recovering bookseller (love you, @BakkaPhoenix!) and an inveterate, absurdly optimistic book buyer - this weekend, I bought 3 books at the @latimes #BookFest, from @PagesMB and Octavia's Bookshelf!

Supporting indie bookstores doesn't mean foregoing the convenience of buying online. @librofm pioneered a model where you nominate your favorite local bookstore, which receives part of the proceeds from every audiobook you buy at Libro (where all the audiobooks are DRM-free).

ICE STORM ARRIVES LATE THURS: Getting a lot of questions about the pending ice storm for n.w. Oregon & s.w. Washington. This thread should answer some q’s, including:
1) When will it turn icy?
2) How much ice will accumulate?
3) Roughly when will it thaw out?
#PDX #ORwx #WAwx
1) When will it turn icy?
2) How much ice will accumulate?
3) Roughly when will it thaw out?
#PDX #ORwx #WAwx
Between this afternoon & eve, modified arctic air will surge through the Gorge & spread across the Portland metro area. Temps will drop into the 20s & teens / wind chills in the single digits & maybe below zero. Cold air spreads across western valleys & coastline tonight.
Ice will begin to accumulate late Thurs. By Friday A.M., most surfaces will be glazed over. Populated areas up & down I-5 corridor could pick up ~ 1/10-1/4” of ice. Lots of power outages expected. Pockets of Coast Range, metro area, Cascades & Gorge could see 1/4-1/2”+ of ice.
ICE STORM A FEW DAYS AWAY: The coldest air of the season will spread west of the Cascades between late Wednesday & early Thurs. Many cities in our western valleys will be locked in by freezing air through at least Fri. Temps will gradually warm up this weekend. #PDX #ORwx #WAwx
Initially, cold air will spread all the way down the Willamette Valley & out along the northern Oregon & southern Washington Coast. Eventually, a warmer weather system will erode the cold air away, first along coast, then southern valley, & last in metro area. #PDX #ORwx #WAwx
Precipitation will begin to spread inland Thurs. afternoon, w/ steadier precip. Thursday night. Anything that falls in Coast Range, interior valleys and points to the east will either be snow, a wintry mix or freezing rain. Roads will turn nasty overnight Thurs eve/night.
The Portland/Vancouver metro area is ~ 3 days out from COLD air arriving, and about 4-5 days out from snow transitioning to freezing rain. Ice storm possible Friday. Will know more by Tue/Wed regarding how much snow/ice is coming and who could get hit hardest. #PDX #ORwx #WAwx
Let’s go over what we know: arctic air will pour across the interior Northwest Wednesday, and will spread west of the Cascades Wednesday night / Thursday A.M.
It won’t be quite as cold west of Cascades as it will be to the east, but still.. prepare for widespread teens & low 20s w/ lower wind chills. Most of Wed/Thurs. will be dry. Warmer moist air will overrun cold air starting Thursday night - Friday A.M. = turning messy in lowlands.
Happy Sunday, all! Wanted to give everyone as much of a heads up as possible about this week, since many will be traveling in the days leading up to Christmas. Some kind of snow/ice event is possible in the Portland metro area, Gorge & Cascade Foothills Thur-Sat. #PDX #ORwx #WAwx
WEDNESDAY: Starting in afternoon / evening, a cold east wind will be cranking thru the Gorge and across the Portland / Vancouver metro area. This modified arctic air will prime the region with sub-freezing air, setting the stage for a winter weather event Thursday/Friday. #PDX
THURSDAY: By Thursday morning, our temperatures will be well below freezing, somewhere between the mid teens and low 20s. Due to the strong east wind, temperatures will likely stay below freezing all day long. Colder in Gorge. Precip. will arrive from the west Thursday P.M.
#PDX, its #PPB issued a public BOLO and felony warrant for Portland skater and graffiti artist Emile Laurent. Evidence found triggering manhunt was finding a bag of markers at his home. Markers? Right wing PPB cops hunting a skater? Smells like a PDX feds+cops political hunt.
🧵
🧵
🧵2/3 Is he a known leftist graffiti artist & they just opened a big public manhunt on him? Portland has a sinister deep state of the police with a prolific working relationship with the surrounding farthest right groups and joint hunts with the feds on leftists.
🧵cont'd below

🧵3/3 PPB does not create big public manhunts on skater dudes with a bag of markers unless such teams hunt active leftists. DOJ constantly busts them for being rogue and lawless. What's up in Portland? Anybody know anything about this?

Motion granted to prevent Joey Gibson from being referred to as leader of the group, but not "perceived" leader of group.
He is leader of Patriot Prayer. These right wingers met at his rallies.
Another motion doesn't allow his beliefs to be referred to as "extremist beliefs"

The images of journalist Andy Ngo being targeted and brutalized by a violent mob is truly disturbing. It could have happened to any one of us in the field. As a fellow Asian American journalist in the Pacific Northwest, I stand with Mr. Ngo during his recovery and urge others...
in the journalism community to publicly condemn this on going hate and harassment. As minority journalists trying to fairly and accurately cover our communities, we also need law enforcement and elected officials to refocus efforts to protect journalists on the front lines.
A car just drove thru a crowd of protesters, dragging one on his hood, during a peaceful demonstration in SE #Portland.
The group of approx. 25 temporarily occupied an intersection in an act of civil disobedience in a demand for the abolition of police.

There seems to be some confusion re: the circumstances here.
No one attacked this car.
The majority of vehicles (several hundred over the course of approx. 30 minutes) chose to drive around the block rather than confront protesters.

Only this vehicle and several others instead turned and drove into the group.
The man who ended up on the hood of the car was standing there when the car drove into him.
To anyone hung up on the term “peaceful”, I maintain that this was a nonviolent demonstration.
