Remember in the before times when celebrities (e.g. Rihanna) would be tweeting with the loose abandon of someone like dril, even getting a dunk in or two. We have lost so much prime internet culture!!

“another blue-checkmarker” is an entirely new and absolutely deranged way to describe joyce carol oates

i’d die for her

My current WIP is broadly similar to one of the buzzier books of Spring 2026 it turns out, but now I’ve been pub-brained this is less of a crisis of originality and more a boon from a marketing and comps angle. I hope it breaks out and publishers get hungry for similar 👀

Book / Author Threads is an asylum for bad takes and the inmates are definitely running it

Very Rishi Sunak coded when he’d have a national address every other week just to throw out a new slogan about council bin collection or a chatbot in every post office

Luke Skywalker being a disillusioned bitter old hermit in The Last Jedi is a choice that has only gotten better and more relatable in the years since 2017. Read the full piece here www.patreon.com/posts/145921...

I don’t know what the hell is going on but I will be seated so hard the earth’s mantle will creak under the weight of how seated I will be

Why are more and more modern novels in first person? It feels like every book I purchase is doing me myself and I

There is genuinely no floor. Every couple of months there’s a new “even for him.” We gotta stop being surprised the boundless hate void has no bounds. It’s been ten years of this. Though maybe 2017 Trump would have at least given it a month or so after the funeral.

"Bluesky is an echo chamber." "Bluesky doesn't have enough reach" "Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right" I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

It’s giving surf dracula I’m afraid

Happy to report that It Ends (2025) absolutely rips. I just love a malevolent location

Nice argument. Unfortunately I have already depicted myself as the cunty and demure oryx and you as the ominous and scheming damascus goat

One of the most bizarre writer trends I’ve come across on BlueSky. Whatever happened to a decent one line pitch! Why are you a Spotify Discover page regurgitating tags at me

me, begging, tears in my eyes: please. please just tell me what the book is about. the plot. please The Tumblr book rec: 👄 Enemies to Rugrats 👺 The king's potato chip 🙊 Found Family Feud 💲Wall street chosen one 🐶 Mechsploration 🤌 Italian 💃 Fuck you

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

Why am I up at 3:30am reading sentences never before and never will be again uttered in human history

What if we kissed beside the troot

Fish have committed credit card fraud

I’m all for this. I’ve been BEGGING for something like this. Waited for Criterion to expand outside of the US and they never did.

I was dreading the editing stage of the manuscript but I’m actually having a lot of fun? Another pleasant surprise in the writing journey. It’s still (relatively) early days, but more and more I realise the conventional wisdom out there is heaped in neurosis and mythicising the suffering and slog

What a year 🥖🦍🏺🐞

Together (2025) promo

"Get his ass” Is so unreasonably funny to me. A huge win for the English language. Today's version of "seize him" imo

I’m feeling very under the weather so naturally tonight is the night I’ll finally watch renowned feel good director Darren Aronofsky’s Mother (2017)

When Tommy Robinson is celebrating your policies it is time to take a long hard look in the mirror and then quit politics forever.

About to start The Haar and I love a gnarly book cover. Look at that thing

Osgoat Perkins transcends the confines of a ‘tomatometer’ and that’s that on that. Osgang we will be seated 🍿

Great can they do twitter next

I joined Threads (as my pen name) and it’s a ghost town with the occasional ‘recommended for you: AI slop’ shaped tumbleweed. Bluesky definitely feels way more active, despite apparently having a smaller user base.

oh hey speaking of: happy pub day to @qntm.org, whose ANTIMEMETICS DIVISION is *the* most brain-bendingly playful piece of fiction in years. A text that tries at times to erase itself while you're reading it, that challenges every rule of storytelling, and does so with in-fiction reasons. Genius.

Really into the idea that there’s another critically acclaimed Predator movie out

sometimes an Oxford comma can make all the difference

Remember “brb”? We were happier as a society

PLURIBUS! I don’t want to jynx it but I fear we have another wild Severance-tier gem on our hands

I think people should read their skeets out loud and determine whether or not they sound nuts before posting because then this could have been avoided

Five stars on Goodreads is not enough I need to make this my entire personality for a few weeks

Outstanding, no notes

Time travelling to 1998 and showing Pokemon fans this image

If anyone is extra radiating themselves by using BlueSky, Threads and Twitter simultaneously — what are the latter two like compared to BlueSky? I’ve only been on here since around 2023 but I’ve always wondered what the other cesspools are giving

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works and let me know if you have any questions! 🤗

Me, holding my phone and staring directly at it: *frantically patting my pockets* where is my phone

Tfw you don’t know a single South Asian, East Asian, Central Asian, Middle Eastern, North African, West African, East African or Latin American person and think you’ve got a scoop on your hands

I watched the killer sharks Jai Courtney movie. Not enough killer sharks. Not enough Jai Courtney.

I think the White House Halo memes are doing more damage to the Halo brand than the Campaign Evolved changes.

One week nicotine and vape free and while I am 100% better off, proud of myself and even FEEL healthier, this sucks and is boring and I miss feeling ALIVE Don’t ratfuck your brain into tethering dopamine to sicky icky vape juice you feel like garbage getting addicted to it and garbage quitting it

Picked up an absolute stunner today
