recording some ancillary content for the Escape! audiobook

French authorities are taking X to court because Grok is now doing straight up holocaust denial. Gas chambers intended for disinfection, cyanide residue tiny, ‘story’ persists because of taboo against critical examination. (Full translation in alt text)

what the EFF is this and how do I rid myself of it?

Just made a dad joke at the exact same moment as my father-in-law I have achieved the dad apotheosis

do any naturalists out there know how to pronounce the taraw palm? Wrote it in my novel and now the audiobook folks are looking to find a fully accurate way to pronounce it!

not sure what it means that everyone on Bluesky says 'man' and everyone on X says "yawn" (but also objects to my saying 'yawn' instead of 'John)

Settlers of Catan -- Catan (rhymes with man) or Catahn (rhymes with yawn)?

I am in the middle of this book and it is really good. Go see Stephen!

still can't believe I got blurbed by Jonathan Safran Foer

AUSTIN! Come join me January 29th at Book People, where I'll be talking about my novel with another has-been reality contestant Rick Devens!!!

the LEGEND @benjaminpercy.bsky.social gave me the blurb I dreamed i'd one day get .... Thrill Me was my guide while writing my novel; my cork board is covered in its advice. And Dead Lands sits over my shoulder at my writing desk reminding me what good fiction can do. I'm so deeply honored.

@stephenfishbach.bsky.social Only on page 16, and I'm already completely enthralled. Do you mean I get to enjoy another 300+ pages of this? Wonderful.

In the chaos, one trader profited ~$150 million from well-timed shorts. With an offshore trading platform, potentially offshore trader, and no regulators apparently interested in crypto enforcement, the possibility that someone was trading on White House inside info will likely go unexamined.

When I first had the idea for Escape! I wanted it to be a ‘literary thriller,’ to have depth and humanity but also be fast-paced and fun. I worked so hard to create that propulsion, so I was honored—and relieved!—when Janelle Brown of all people gave me this incredible blurb!

I will never cease being amazed at how many utensils my household can go through in a day.

If you ever wonder if all the promo and reminders to preorder are effective, I will tell you that *this* reminder was the one that got through! I've been hearing you talk about preordering for months and kept thinking "I'll get to it". Well today I actually did! Very excited to read Escape!

very exciting, for a limited time Hudson Booksellers has 30% off online pre-orders --- IN CASE YOU WANT TO PRE-ORDER ANY BOOKS.

100%. these ideas are so boring and trite, everyone thinks they’re a visionary liberated by ai but it’s mostly hackneyed tedium with a glossy tech sheen.

AU/NZ/UK can pre-order it here!! www.textpublishing.com.au/pre-orders/c...

Mysterium Kids or Zombie Kidz Evolution for a five year old?

I'm so excited that @text_publishing has agreed to publish Escape! in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK! LOOK AT THIS GORGEOUS COVER!!!!

I think I’m on a trajectory to be one of those people who brings a small bottle of hot sauce everywhere

Nathan Hill is one of my favorite authors. His books are vast and emotionally complex, but also hilarious and antic, wrestling with major social themes even as they delight in their comic characters. Having him blurb my novel is such a profound honor, and hopefully speaks to Escape!’s DNA.

Padding his resume to try and replace Hegseth

I'm so excited for this

me when I've just embroiled Batman in a diabolical plot #survivor

Annie: "I'm never writing your name down." Alex [looking away]: "Uhm yeah. I know. I know." #survivor

Good bit

scams all the way down

I screamed when I got this blurb. I’ve been reading Emily Nussbaum for decades now. Not only is she one of the most insightful tv critics, but she literally wrote the book on reality television with Cue the Sun!

I just pre-ordered Escape! by Stephen Fishbach. I hope the protagonist is not a wimpy, little non-leader. Congratulations on your book, @stephenfishbach.bsky.social a.co/d/6q4V08b

just watched episode 5 of alien earth, a total flex from Hawley. "oh you want a perfectly-crafted space hulk alien movie but with an even weirder new species?" truly sublime, everything I want from the franchise.

Premiering today on YouTube, 8 influencers went to Fiji to play a 36-hour speed round of #Survivor, weathering a nasty storm, running a challenge, and voting out one of their own I spoke with the cast for an oral history on everything that went down: parade.com/tv/survivor-...

GALLEY GIVEAWAY! You can read Escape! early (I think second week of October? Holy crap that's soon.) Penguin is giving away 20 early galleys, sign up here! * www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho... *(US only)

thank you David!! Our editor Jacob Stern is amazing.

Finally pre-ordered @stephenfishbach.bsky.social 's book. Enough time has passed that I'm finally over him pretending Survivor 48 was a good season. Perhaps even more importantly though is that I was running out of time before he could start doing the same for #Survivor 49!

New list of medieval dog names just dropped.

Next episode of Survivors Play Blood on the Clocktower premieres this Saturday @ 1 pm ET! Join us live in the chat!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-SX...

Happy pub day to my great friend @pollackpelzner.bsky.social and his extraordinary biography of Lin-Manuel Miranda. This book is a delight. It tells Lin's story through the lens of how he became such an incredible artist. It's fast-paced, funny, and humane. I loved it and believe you will too!
