I’m so appreciative of @leematthewgoldberg.bsky.social and his supportive words! Coming in less than three weeks. Ride the waves! Paperback preorder link in the comments.

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

I'm sure a tangled rights situation is to blame, but there's something very obvious missing here, Criterion Channel!

Without stating your age, post a movie that was released when you turned 18.

"So, what's your take?" "This is the water, and this is the well. Drink full, and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within." "100% disagree."

Here is a short list of tech I have been vocally skeptical of since it first rose to prominence, despite countless people assuring me it was the inevitable future: Cryptocurrency Blockchain The Metaverse Augmented Reality Tesla Autopilot/Full Self-Driving Smart Contracts DAOs NFTs Generative AI

THE BRIDE! reminded me of a lot of 80s indies - really uneven, but tried a lot of mostly enjoyable stuff. Answers the question nobody asked: What if we threw The Bride of Frankenstein in a blender with Sid and Nancy, Natural Born Killers, 30s gangsters movies and musicals, and Goth videos?

I guess we know why #Survivor stopped doing the live reunion.

I can never get rid of Facebook.

EYES WIDE SHUT: The story of a man who is unaware New York City has a subway system.

Oh no! I never got to meet him, but he did such a brilliant job on the LOWDOWN ROAD cover. Absolutely nailed it, and contributed immensely to the book getting the attention it did. RIP.

Incredible! On Fire and Under Water had won the Derringer Award for Best Anthology, with the fantastic Hollywood Kills in a tie! Congrats to Alan S. Orloff and Adam Meyer and all their contributors! And a HUGE congrats to the 15 writers whose stories made this possible & to @rhppress.bsky.social !

This is interesting because it challenges two widely held political assumptions: 1) that people love it when everything at the supermarket is at least $8.99 and 2) that the easiest way to win voters over is to go on TV every day and say that you need to build a big event space or you'll die.

Happy pub day to the amazing @jordanharper.bsky.social (one of the best goddamn writers we have)

notable that there were a few baseball teams this off-season who dabbled in unconventional/questionable/apparently ad hoc roster building strategies yet seemed to earn the benefit of the doubt based on assumptions about front office know-how and then all of those teams once the season started stunk

The New York Times profile of @jordanharper.bsky.social is the only NYT profile I’ve ever seen that begins like this: “COKE! SEX! LIES!” Read it, then read his new book, A VIOLENT MASTERPIECE, out April 28th. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/b...

"Brisk pacing and well-drawn characters propel the narrative, balancing high-stakes action with an incisive exploration of journalistic ethics and the ever-shifting line between fact and fiction." Publisher's Weekly loved my new novel, SURVIVING THE LIE! www.publishersweekly.com/9781640097216

What’s up www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/b...

Lana Del Rey has done so many theme songs for nonexistent James Bond movies, it's nice that she finally got to do a (sort of) real one. open.spotify.com/album/2uPAqo...

This Derringer Award-nominated, killer anthology is on sale for less than a buck for the digital version. Get on it. a.co/d/07RY7Or0

My phone keeps trying to trick me into enabling a new AI lock screen. Almost as if they know we hate it and need it rammed down our throats!

of course you CAN use AI to "write" your book but you run the risk of a lethally derisive colson whitehead materializing in your office to call you a hacky motherfreaker www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/o...

Is this what passes for bipartisanship these days?

Remember the Alamo. This is ending about as well.

Buy two copies and you can put one on your fridge and one someplace more intimate like your basement fridge or the hood of your car.

Not nearly enough. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/o...

NIGHT OF THE LEPUS is the holiday viewing at my local.

I don't know why everybody is talking about book promotion but I have a novel out this month. So buy it. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/jorda...

KING OF ASHES is out today in paperback!!! Its also gonna be B&N thriller pick Thank you to everyone who has shown my dark family crime drama some love "Everything burns"...

this is turning out to be one of the onion's all-time classics

Saw one of these things for the first time yesterday. Another stupid thing clogging up the streets of Austin, where they still won't build the light rail we voted for years ago.

Barnes & Nobel is having a preorder sale right now, including my next novel A VIOLENT MASTERPIECE. So take some of that money you saved from the Criterion flash sale and buy yourself some Literature™️

In the age of generative AI and would-be AI detectives, I'm glad I still write my drafts in longhand in bars and coffee shops. Despite the looks I often get.

Catching up on the later seasons of PEAKY BLINDERS I never watched at the time. Impressed with Tom Hardy's commitment to having his character's skin deteriorate further every season.

We're thrilled to share the cover for @angelluiscolon.com's POP!, an organized crime thriller for every assistant who's ever wished they could take out their incompetent boss. Coming 08.18.26! Be the first to pre-order & receive a title magnet: 👑 links.ruadanbooks.com/POP #BookSky #ThrillerSky

Figured it wouldn't take long. www.kut.org/austin/2026-...

Happy Gardner Museum Heist Anniversary! Celebrate by ordering the definitive fictionalized account. Your Uncle @stephenking.bsky.social agrees! www.amazon.com/Charlesgate-...

if you’re already missing the sight of grim baseball players who exhibit no joy while playing and who seem to feel entitled to a championship and nothing less then may I introduce you to the New York Yankees

Ordered!

The kind of album where Lindsey Buckingham sings cokey backing vox on a song co-written by Thomas McGuane, and Jeff Porcaro is credited with playing "Tahitian log drums." The title track, about a US envoy charged with putting out fires in the Middle East, now feels like it's from a parallel earth

No one ever told this guy, "you break it, you bought it."

If you’re still filling out your 2026 Anthony Award Ballot, I hope you’ll consider these @rhppress.bsky.social titles for Best Anthology/Collection 🤘

I know it's early, but this is Friday of SXSW. I think the patient is dead.
