"ICE is arresting the worst of the worst." Everything this administration tells us is a lie.

Congratulations to my talented wife for her Pushcart nomination!

Behold! My book was just named a @KirkusReviews Best Graphic MG Book of 2025! See the whole list at tiny.cc/KirkusBOYMGGN25 @SimonKIDS @TheTobiasAgency

An easy way to explain luddites: Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand. And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before. That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

My wife is racking up the publications and earning a well-deserved literary award nomination. Check it out!

This happens relatively early in the film. Her singing is definitely unconventional, but by the time this song was over I was in love with Ida Lupino.

This movie is BAM right out of the gate with a dynamite sequence featuring Cloris Leachman. But the bonkers ending defies words. ALSO: Special features on the disk are interesting. Apparently screenwriter A.I. Bezzerides and source material author Mickey Spillane weren't fond of one another.

A well-deserved nomination for my smart, talented partner! Congrats, honey!!!

Do something you’ll enjoy - read 100 wonderful words from my wondrous wife.

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

Wearing a mask is pretty much the single most effective action any individual person can take, in regards to disability allyship. It communicates both active, and visual support.

The Ministry of Fear will forever change your relationship with cake.

Are you a hot sleeper?

A fourth publication for my talented wife on our favorite holiday!!

Happy Best Day of the Year, everyone! 🧛‍♂️🧙‍♀️👻

Many thanks to @outsfl.bsky.social and Reading Rainbow for this special Halloween interview about THE CURSED CLOAK OF THE WRETCHED WRAITH. I'm extra insightful in this one so check it out 😁

My wife has multiple Halloween treats for readers this year. fiftywordstories.com/2025/10/31/t...

This is slander. I deny everything.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

I've never watched this but I've always assumed that the murders took place in THE building. Meaning the building they live in. Are they all moving to the same building in London? Or is it retitled "Only Murders in A Building (Any Building, Really)" ?

Still awaiting my George $oros payment for showing up at #NoKINGS_Day & staying until noon. Somebody slipped this 20 under my door, but something about it seems fake.

Hi. My name is Clay. I wrote a YA sci-fi horror novel called SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE and it’s out on 11/11/25 from Delacorte. I just got my final copies and they’re beautiful. It would mean a lot to me if you considered picking this one up, no matter what your age. Thank you. @getunderlined.bsky.social

Poor Digby! Anyone have ideas for an alternate costume?

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Happy Halloween Week! As a holiday treat, I'm sending out a story that was cut from The Cursed Cloak of the Wretched Wraith, in which Zenith meets one of the creepiest villains I've ever created. First chapter arrives tonight. Sign up for my newsletter at robrenzetti.com

The world is bad but I get to start the weekend with the new book from @kibblesmith.com! Go pre-order it from your local bookstore now!

If you’re feeling sick, please stay home. If you can’t stay home, please wear a mask. Ideally an N95. Covid is a social justice issue. Mitigations cost money. Many can’t afford the protection they need. If you’re able, donate to a mask bloc. Carry spare respirators. Help protect each other!

The words "guilty pleasure" don't exist with books. No guilt, just pleasure. Books are there to enjoy.

Digby Flopwell napping on the cool smooth base of his favorite lamp. He loves Lamp Buddy.

Digby inevitably finds the hardest surface to lay on or smash his face into whenever he's looking to relax.

Looking forward to discussing the final book in The Horrible Bag series with Rayna tomorrow. Super proud of this story and the whole spooky, funny, and (dare I say) heartwarming trilogy. I hope you'll drop by the livestream.

Another great piece by my favorite person in the world with a wonderful image added by @fiveminutelit.bsky.social

Big thanks to @inkinthirds.bsky.social for publishing my cento, "You Have Never Met Me, Because I Have Dreamt You."
