When people see crows playing they say "look how intelligent," yet when they see humans playing they say "why aren't they creating more shareholder value"

An upbeat banger for a Friday

We seem to have trained a specific cohort of business folks to understand that "fake it till you make it" means "commit fraud and hope you get your bag before anybody finds out"

Oh great, my package was delivered!

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Change your gender, become a poet, catapult yourself into the sun. There are no rules. You can do anything you want.

It’s not a withdrawal until ICE is abolished. I have neighbors everywhere.

Why did I think, back in the 80s, that Nurse With Wound was a band from Japan?

...and it regularly creates its own weather, to spectacular effect. This pic is from photographer Rob Wilson, who has cornered the market in taking Ailsa Craig weather pics: www.robertkwilson.com/photographs/... And weirdly enough... 2/

"Frankly it's absurd to posit that the founding fathers would have wanted to prevent ME from doing what I want to do. The checks are for y'all."

Oh shit, I'm so screwed

*visiting a park built on landfill* "The tumuli of our culture are filled with garbage"

"Used to be a Cop" by Drive-by Truckers came up on shuffle and I realized that in 2026, the narrator would absolutely be in ICE/CBP

The devil's strongest tool is the desire to purify

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

Remembering now, like the taste of madelines, the sound of cell phone interference on a polycom conference room phone

People remember the wooden stake and the hammer, but forget the bin liner. It's a messy job, like a Gallagher show.

America has the opportunity to do a precisely appropriate thing on its 250th anniversary.

So happy to share the cover for @suzyeynon.bsky.social’s forthcoming novella, Terrestrial (May 2026, preorders open now and copies will be signed by the author). As ever, @angeelio.bsky.social gave us something special. malarkeybooks.com/store/terres...

We will close out 2026 with an unclassifiable novel by @rogerjva.bsky.social, a magnificent writer who needs to be on more people’s radar! malarkeybooks.com/store/inacce...

This is richly satisfying

Babe wake up, new sickos meme just dropped

Watching that classic Twilight Zone episode where the six-year-old boy terrorizes a community by wishing people off into the cornfield and that's just the 2025 experience in a nutshell

This set of observations is produced by my scrolling Reddit and otherwise listening to people talk about "how to write." A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption. B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.

I so love this cover treatment by @johnchrostek.com !

The Fireproof Hyperobjects really tore it up at Boston Calling 2021

I'm so excited to get this weird little book I love so much out into the world! It's a novel, but comes to you like tapas.

The "How do you solve a problem like Maria" number is really just an HR meeting
