The only political Kennedy not affected by the Kennedy curse is Leon.

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

Q: How do you build dread in a short story? @marythor.bsky.social: It’s about playing chicken, pushing characters to the edge repeatedly—the edge of what they shouldn’t do, shouldn’t see, shouldn’t pursue. Then asking: what happens if they keep going? dosomedamage.substack.com/publish/post...

I got to hang out with @marythor.bsky.social and @smccaffery.bsky.social on the @rhppress.bsky.social Patreon podcast, where we talked about Mary’s new collection, A WOMANS GUIDE TO TRUE CRIME. It was very fun, and we promise you’ll enjoy listening to it! www.patreon.com/posts/womens...

Guy who came home very drunk from the bar last night, threw in the old Argo DVD, then passed out a half hour in, waking up and opening his phone this morning: Fucking WHAT?!?

Hello, while everyone is distracted by the State of the Union (which, I assure you, is bad!) I will take this moment to confess my complete obsession with Charlie XCX’s HOUSE.

Tiffany Hanssen talks about the inspiration and writing process for her debut novel, MY NAME WAS GERRY SASS, in this interview with @publisherswkly.bsky.social https://bit.ly/4cIWjuy

I truly believe we would live in a very different world if the people we, as a society, looked to for wisdom took the time to understand even the most basic elements of magic.

i'm not telling anyone what to do but tbh even ironically engaging in the sudden onslaught of using terms like max and mog feels extremely astroturfed and i'm just not doing it, that shit's a tulpa, man all of it is tulpas you don't have to substantiate the tulpa man

I basically think there are two kinds of people in this world. Silent Hill people and Resident Evil people.

Valiantly resisting the urge to just get drunk and play Resident Evil 4 until 1am

Someone get Richard Sherman in front of a camera *this second*

Remember that year the Super Bowl was stuffed to the goddamn brim with crypto commercials? Just something I’m thinking about watching all this AI shit. That’s all.

If you want people to leave you alone to enjoy all your nerdery, you don't get to belittle their nerdery. That's hypocrisy. Yes, this is a skeet for anyone who uses the word "sportsball".

I shall let it abide here till the White Whale is dead

Thinking about making my entire personality “a metalhead who unironically thinks cheap trick fucking rules”.

James Sallis passed today. If you only know him from DRIVE you are missing out on his incredible work RIP to a true master

here's the evocative, perfect opening paragraph of DRIVE by James Sallis, a bloody flashforward nestled in a further flashforward, and an opening scene sodden with the kind of fatalistic dread that makes the best noir so existentially unsettling

I mean, it probably only looks really great because I'm painting nurgle, but I feel like I'm getting really good with an airbrush.

I live in a red state but give money to a lot of democrats across the country. Going forward, that well is dried up to anyone who isn’t calling for the abolishment of ICE / defunding the government until ICE is brought to heel. This should be the basic test for any progressive of any kind of means

people who are very clearly my moral superiors are being killed in the street by and on behalf of the most disgusting creeps imaginable and I don't know how much longer anyone can deal with this

My short noir novel, THE LOW WHITE PLAIN, in which in-love grifters hatch a fake kidnapping plot that gets out of hand during a once in a lifetime winter storm that ends up with a lot of occultist neo-Nazis and their political benefactors dying very badly is back in print today. a.co/d/iaGzMvc

This is one of the most insane protests I've ever been to. Tens of thousands of Minnesotans in -20°F (-28°C) cold with absolutely manic energy. We are going to throw these goddamn bastards out of our cities.

"Daniel Brown is a stand-in for a lot of outsiders I’ve seen. Ones that don’t fit into normal society. That get singled out because they don’t “look” right. The constant judging. And this person is weary. How can they not be?" -Rob D. Smith mrbullbull.com/newbull/the-...

Finally got a byline in @defector.com, and it's about a famous crime writer, a pair of retired LAPD detectives, a former NSA codebreaker, and two of the most famous unsolved cases of all time. defector.com/michael-conn...

The thing that strikes me about these assholes is that they’re so public in asking for grace but *so goddamn silent* in discussing their own faults and the work they’ve done to ensure they don’t arrive at the same shitty beliefs again. Oh wait it’s because they’ve done exactly none of that.
