Trump was elected to wipe the trauma of the first black president from American history, a task which included scrapping the nuclear deal that had the US in a much better strategic position than before this needless, unconstitutional war of choice against Iran

Thank you everyone who has shared in the joy of this book release day with me. I went through some very hard times while I was writing this book and worried about how that imprinted on the work. To get this warm reception is a joy, and I hope the book gives people joy and a sense of possibility.

I am utterly obsessed with Audiofuturism (and all of @andrecarrington.bsky.social's work). The radio versions of Black speculative fiction throughout the decades are such a fascinating topic that I am dying to learn more about. GO GET THIS BOOK EVERYBODY! <3

This isn’t a lamentable side effect of these products. It’s the actual reason they exist.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Authors this round include @pvbrett.bsky.social, @andrecarrington.bsky.social, @johnchu.bsky.social, @abraham.bsky.social, @shaykauwe.bsky.social, @ldlewiswrites.blacksky.app, @ronaldmalfi.bsky.social, and @lateonsetgirl.bsky.social: www.andrewliptak.com/april-2026-s...

April is bringing a whole bunch of new books to shelves, kicking off a packed spring. Here are 9 books that caught my eye for the first half of the month: www.andrewliptak.com/april-2026-s...

Gang's all here. Happy #Audiofuturism day 📚

Eating a McGriddle, but covering my head with a fancy embroidered napkin to hide my shame from God

HORRIBLE. ICE is averaging more than one death a week this year. It's like clockwork. The last death reported was exactly seven days ago.

The Artemis II mission seems good because it is. People seem excited by it because they are. It looks like a testament to the value of teamwork because it needs many people working together to succeed, and it’s succeeding. One of the best things about this is how straightforward it is. Authentic.

It's devastating when these people get caught and even more devastating when they don't, because they're creating a system where it doesn't matter if anyone's claims are verifiable or not. Who do you think wins in those situations?

Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country

The antithesis of slop is sending people to go have a look at the moon and report back in real time.

Dominique Fishback

“We propose to settle all the difficulty of the Dred Scott Decision by putting it into the Constitution. If a man is not a citizen of the country in which he is born, in God’s name of what country is he a citizen? If he may not live there, where has he a right to live?“

The most tragic cautionary tale in Star Wars is General Grievance He started out with a highly specific grievance and then just got more and more aggrieved until he was just generally aggrieved

No, that's simulacra. Sinatra is an island that's part of Indonesia

Hudson Hawk employs the time-honored standard of a working-class New York ex-convict who can't wait to get a quality cappuccino

First review of Audiofuturism is STUNNING!!! Thanks to @ancillaryreviewofbooks.org "carrington has a gift for describing the listening experience" is the most meaningful thing someone could say about my writing in this book.

I'm on Instagram at @ audio.futurism btw --> www.instagram.com/audio.futuri...

I love this scene from “First Contact.” Alfre Woodard and Patrick Stewart go from simmering to rage to quiet. The way Stewart says, “The line must be drawn here!”, mostly how he really hits “here,” sometimes just pops into my head. youtu.be/oeGMHbK4NlA?...

The award for Best Short Non-fiction goes to: Eugen Bacon for Spec Fic and the Politics of Identity: Finding the Self in Other

The 6 arrested yesterday, along with the 9 arrested Wednesday, brings the total to 15 arrested at the Idaho State Capitol building this week in Boise while resisting the extreme anti trans bathroom ban, Idaho HB 752. This law is the most extreme in the country but citizens are not going silently.

Jesus is a stunt queen. Announcing that someone is gonna betray him while everyone was trying to have a classy dinner? Fake dying then showing up a few days later like nothing happened? Threatening to send people to your ghetto cousins house for all eternity if they misbehave? Mmkay girl

If you're celebrating during the morning or afternoon, then you'll want a cheerier suit. The options are endless: cream linen, olive cotton, traditional or tonal seersucker, or just a normal worsted suit in a non-business color, such as brown.

girl take us with you

For years I've been looking for the right guest to do a pod on this. The car-sales model that is dictated by law in the US -- you must go to a dealership & suffer for hours in order to buy one -- is one of the most nakedly anti-social special interest giveaways in history. Needs to be killed dead.

So stoked to watch my favorite bad movie of the 90s, Hudson Hawk! When I saw it was "award-winning" on imdb, I said, "please be the Razzies..." and it was!

Chopping Mall (1986) I know the co-writer. Shout out to Steve Mitchell. 😃

An article was printed in the @nytimes.com framed around the premise that NATO stands for “North American Treaty Organization” rather than “North Atlantic Treaty Organization”—a frame that is facially ridiculous given NATO membership. >>insert “if only you knew how bad things really are” meme<<
