@igreggreene.bsky.social Did you ever get this SST version of Demon Theory? Curious if yours has less footnotes than the original pressing. Looking at my ebook there are a lot more footnotes than this physical. Maybe I missed something SGJ mentioned about it in the author's note.

One day left to submit your work to Nightmare Magazine! We close at 11 pm tomorrow night. As ever, we're looking for short stories under 7500 words, flash stories 0-1500 words long, poetry, and creative nonfiction.

16 days since ICE has killed somebody in the street. Now it looks like they've done it again.

Fuck ICE.

Fuck ICE.

Happy Extra Hour Day to All Who Celebrate

I regret to inform you that Halloween candy just doesn't hit the same these days. A formula has been changed somewhere

Please remind us who the domestic terrorists are again.

I'm not the biggest fan of the over-commercialization of Halloween (and, well, everything), but I was left stunned at a recent excursion to Spirit Halloween that featured a whole-ass haunted subway.

Wasn't there something in the Bible about people worshipping a golden cow?

Audible sent me a survey asking why I opted out of using their AI narration on my books.

The weather right now is uncharacteristically low for the first week of August, so I regret to inform you that I just don't have it in me to share the Natalie Babbit quote about the first week of August.

So does this guy just like punk music because of the vibes

Just realized Back to the Future came out 40 years ago. If it had come out today, Marty would have traveled back to the year 1995.

Evil people.

Found this on Reddit today.

Out of nowhere, people on my Facebook are sharing AI generated pics of Peyton Manning with motivational stories attached. In one, an elderly man on hospice has a last request of "one more snap". A call is quietly made. The next day Peyton Manning shows up to grants the dying man his wish

28-year-old Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo, who has no known criminal record, was accused by Texas police of being in a Venezuelan gang because they found a photo of him posing with another man with tattoos, his lawyers say. From ProPublica partner @texastribune.org:

The wife of an Albuquerque man witnessed federal immigration agents use what she described as unnecessary force in a recent arrest in the South Valley, causing him to be hospitalized. Now, after returning to ICE custody, no one knows where he is. sourcenm.com/2025/06/11/i...

This is so fucking evil and I hope de Oliveira sues them for violation of her civil rights. Also, they weren’t “threatening” to arrest her.

Obligatory SINNERS recommendation. See this one in theaters if you can

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

After botching dinner tonight:

Hopefully the media keeps coverage up and raises awareness on cases like these: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/u...

Aditya Harsono—Indonesian student legally in US, married to American citizen, father of their special needs child—has his student visa suddenly and secretly revoked, and is raided, arrested and detained by ICE for deportation. Make no mistake: If you’re legal, they can, and will, MAKE you illegal.

My latest favorite genre of photo is depressed Easter bunnies in dead malls.

Watching the latest season of BLACK MIRROR'S first episode, "Common People", and getting an ad right in the middle after a key scene skewering such practices was 🤌🤌
