Smart. Can duck out early that way and be home in bed by 11.

Hate to say it but it's been a rather short December

Drake Maye is my son. My beautiful boy.

Taught my kid to be a fucking loser and it worked.

i take this list seriously bc it contains The Shipping News, which i read in 2024 and adored

"Did you know books continue to exist outside of their release window? Crazy but true."

the broad inability to leave a social media platform owned by a white supremacist and prolific manipulator of public perception really is one of the most discouraging data points right now

Aaron @kleinman.bsky.social thinks he's better than me because he "reads books" and "knows how to read." He wrote about the 20 best he read this year (new and old) including @calfraser.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social + @bridgetgillard.bsky.social. www.welcometohellworld.com/20-books-you...

This is a really excellent must-read list. My 2026 is sorted.

The good dude @lukeoneil47.bsky.social let me write about the 20 best books that I read in 2025. If you're wondering "what should I read?" here's your list www.welcometohellworld.com/20-books-you...

This is also where I announce that starting next year I will be writing a weekly newsletter for @heartlandsignal.bsky.social and you should sign up for Radio Free America here radio-free-america.beehiiv.com

No reason for this film to be as long as it was. Barely would've held up as an episode of a procedural. Young priest was good though. ⭐⭐1/2

Finally watching Wake Up Dead Man and as Zack wrote here this is an odd Catholicism. We don’t call him “Christ” this much for one.

how do i put on the fucking football game

I have IRL friends who I have long considered among my smarter friends who I've gotten into fights with about "AI" and I honestly wonder what they would think of me if I told them I plagiarized all of my books.

It's your birthday, Duane.

Oh my bad it's about disability assistance. Ah shit. That's why they're doing all this with the 100s of billions of dollars. To help people. Fuck. I feel stupid now.

There are like 3 rules of Bluesky. One of which is fuck AI and fuck you if you work on it. Another is don't go after Mara Wilson. The third is to buy my book.

Anyone who works in AI should be bullied constantly bitch

What you do for work is at best, useless, and at worst, going to destroy humanity. You want to think you’re Marie Curie, experimenting with something dangerous that can change lives. You’re more like the girls of Atomic City, except you know what you’re working with. You know you’re building a bomb.

You stared out at the expanse of the world hoping to have some kind of epiphany. It doesn’t work like that though. When you’re forcing it. You have to have let your guard down for the ocean to sneak up on you. It’s like when a cat knows you want affection. Or a cruel partner. They will withhold it.

I took a massive loan from my father in law so me and my buddies from Villanova could all go in and get this to market. I'm fucking ruined.

Not sure the name is supposed to be literal

Everyone's scamming each other. We can either accept that or be horrified by it @seantcollins.com writes on The Chair Company and I Love LA. www.welcometohellworld.com/how-crass-al...

When you reshare your own post.

Knowing too much about or caring excessively about your family lineage is fascist to me.

Would like it stated for the record I was very pleased with myself for this headline

TODAY: @annamerlan.bsky.social embarks on an extraordinary voyage (of shopping). "I envisioned a Halloween costume in which I would wear just that and a bedsheet, but ultimately and with great difficulty got ahold of myself." flaminghydra.com/discomfort-s...

A very well shot and designed horror with some genuine scares and gnarly scenes. Good performances too although the story and dialogue weren't quite up to par. ⭐⭐⭐

As gorgeous and moving as many have said, albeit a bit slow at times and certainly sentimental. Kind of film that either reminds you that life is worth living or else think what's the point of all this needless suffering. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

[Watching Train Dreams and pointing at the screen when he has a dream about a train] That's Train Dreams

I know that's right.

This kind of observation has always been accurate, but the reason for it is that Republicans have always wanted to win and Democrats are really sleepy and just little guys who don't want to make anyone mad.

[At an Epstein event] Hey man can you not take a thousand pictures of me?

"megachurches are shen yun for white people" is an incredible and damning true statement

One of my favorite panels from Jamie Delano's Hellblazer run.

Me trying to get Geese tickets

shared One Good Thing with Luke and it made it to "print" luke writes a great newsletter and shares stories from other great writers. i just want to read good writing and this is a good place to start. luke's writing, not mine.

Now here's a song to run fast to. www.youtube.com/watch?v=acQT...

Wrote about Rian Johnson’s “Wake Up Dead Man” and what it means as a lefty Christian to try to mend a world broken largely by my nominal coreligionists for Hellworld.

A guy named Brice: I'm Jewish, actually. And also a Nazi

Also today @gonebabygone.bsky.social is back writing about the new Knives Out movie Wake Up Dead Man, and how it feels becoming more religious and moving even further to the left as he gets older. www.welcometohellworld.com/weve-all-got...

I asked readers to write in with an example of One Good Thing that happened this year. Could be personal, could be a movie or book, could be something political. I got a bunch of great responses to share. www.welcometohellworld.com/one-good-thi...
