Says a lot about society

lol

History haters stay mad—the slideshows are nearly done! Tonight it is time for Astoria History Night at The Ditty! Sponsored by @defector.com! 7pm start! Come on through!

I’ve sold about 300 copies of the 1,000 that I printed for MALINKO, and while I have 700 left, I do believe it just means I have 700 friends left to meet. And you know I actually do feel this way! The book took me 20 years to write, why would I want to share it with strangers?

hey cool video Rick. It almost reminds me of MALINKO, a thriller about a newlywed couple on a Route 66 honeymoon who stumble onto a mysterious radio show. $25. Venmo: Rick-Paulas, include address.

Newsletter writers telling laid-off journalists to simply start their own newsletters… I don’t know about that!

The rumors are true! MALINKO, a thriller about a newlywed couple on a Route 66 honeymoon who stumble onto a mysterious radio show, are AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE at the North Brooklyn independent bookstores Quimby’s (Williamsburg) and Word (Greenpoint)! Grab em while they’re hot!

Something kinda deranged and ambulance chasey about trying to swipe some subs off news of the WaPo layoffs. But that’s just me!

MALINKO marketing game taking the next step with @thepoduniverse.com 💪

To me, it is beautiful

what can you say? a broken clock, etc.

At the Land Use Committee for the fight over the MTA waterfront property in Greenpoint that’s either going to be a public park or a massive development with a museum on the ground floor or some magical third thing

just checked in on gawker.com for the first time in awhile

ten years ago yesterday my piece for SF Weekly was published under the tutelage of @chris-roberts.bsky.social about the massive tent city that was created as a result of the city trying to hide its homeless population for the 2016 super bowl coming to town. www.sfweekly.com/archives/the...

everybody is fighting because the sidewalks are like one foot narrower than usual lol

This Thursday! Come on through! Here’s a photo from last time!

Ah here you have White House Council for Obama Kathy Ruemmler telling Epstein that the ruling that killed Gawker is "amazing" and "kind of awesome." Very cool!

It’s true. The snow has been plowed enough that we are reopening The Lady in Greenpoint, a 3-mile walking audio ghost story starting at the Pulaski Bridge. #getyourwalkon

Do you think dogs heard Franz Ferdinand’s “Take Me Out” and were like yes finally someone gets us

The battle over “Melania” is a win for the concept of liberalism and also just like the culture war in general. It really is The Simpsons stopping monsters with “Just Don’t Look” but in reverse.

Lots of takes in fiction on NYC to LA…. but how many tackle LA to NYC? That’s gonna be my next thing, whenever it is that I get to that.

💅💅💅

Once again, the author of The Palmer Hotel, The Lady in Greenpoint, MALINKO, and Loops has not been implicated in the Epstein Files release… 💅💅💅

This is what peak performance looks like 💪

When you’re mocking me just keep in mind this is who you’re making fun of

Interesting how many “comedians” and “journalists” and “posters” (same thing?) are funneling money to The White House and Brett Ratner in the form of one (1) ticket to “Melania” just so they can make a little easy content…

True. $25 Venmo: Rick-Paulas and that includes shipping through the U.S.

Ah hell yeah let’s fucking go! @laurenlavin.bsky.social!

I am on the last day of my first Dry January ever. Basically the first time I’ve taken more than a week off in a row for like 20 years? A few observations.

Two more nights of the Greenpoint History Night World Tour until we come back home to Greenpoint!

This kinda weather really makes me rethink trying to work and advance a medium that requires people to listen to an audio story while walking outside for many miles…

This would be a good history night talk.

Next week the Greenpoint History Night World Tour continues with a stop in Astoria! The Ditty, Thurs Feb 5, 7pm. Come on through!

A successful Williamsburg History Night is in the books! Thanks @defector.com!

Little Rick Fact: this snow pile up front is where I wrote a ton of The Palmer Hotel, a series of spooky short stories set in a downtown hotel. Sold out!

are leftist podcasters and influencers calling for people to go on a general strike on friday going to, what, not post?

they're staying warm in dimes square by rubbing their ketamine together!

It’s so cold in Dimes Square they’re staying warm by burning podcasts!

Tomorrow! Greenpoint History Night—Williamsburg! Sponsored by @defector.com! Get 3 months free with a special QR code you can grab in person!

Closing up on my first ever “Dry January” and also I work at a bar, AMA

Many are asking if I am "doing media" on Loops, a serialized walking audio mystery through Prospect Park... and the answer, unfortunately, is... yes!

Almost as chilling as The Palmer Hotel, a collection of short stories

Here’s a photo from Greenpoint.

This photo of Twitter on Trump’s war room Jumbotron is really such an important text for our political moment.

Broken clock, etc.

SOMEONE is owed an apology

Let’s just say, you’re welcome 💅💅💅

just learned today that the protest chant they're doing in OBAA is "pinches puercos" 👍
