My novelette "False Light" is in the March/April issue of @analogsf.bsky.social ! If you like post-Earth stories or toxic relationship stories or mad-world-drives-girl-mad stories, then you might like this! And an excerpt is free to read online at analogsf.com/current-issue/story-excerpt1/ 📚🪐💙

More songs should start like Monkey Gone to Heaven. "There was a guy." Ok I'm listening, what's this guy up to

historical inaccuracies in fiction make people on the internet really, really angry, so you should include as many as you possibly can

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

My story The Pearl Divers of Connell-B is in the March/April @analogsf.bsky.social ! I'm beyond stoked to have work in the magazine that has published so many of my heroes, and I love the art that Eldar Zakirov created for it. analogsf.com/current-issu... #scifi #SF #writing

can't stress about all the problems with your first draft if you never read it again

If you have a cat, and you have a pot of indoor grass for that cat to munch on, and you have a nice mechanical keyboard... The three may meet in all sorts of fun, vomit-y ways. Blurred cleaning-panic photo, but that's probably for the best. #cats #writing #fml #catsofbluesky

Big congrats to @trnapper.bsky.social for taking out the Aurealis for the best SF novella! #scifi #sciencefiction #books @aurealisawards.bsky.social

Some big personal news: they’ve put me in charge of XBox!!! Microsoft LOVED my pitch for an XBox console that’s also a sandwich press

ok its time for the feelings post: folks the show Strip Law comes out tomorrow on Netflix i never thought id get my own thing to show everyone what i think is funny. i spent the last 2.5ish years (along with tons of other creatives to be lauded later) putting my entire being into this show...

Today's found art in Melbourne. Title: Australian Tragedy. #art #Australia #meatpie #disaster

Dr Pepper was invented as a low-cost rat poison

we live in the ruins of a greater civilization

Absolutely devastating. Jon was a wonderful guy and the best political cartoonist Australia ever produced

Let’s be honest: in many of these winter Olympic “sports”, the snow is doing most of the work. An unexpected thaw would expose these so-called athletes for the frauds they are

The Aurealis Award shortlist just dropped and I'm thrilled to receive two nods - SF Short Story ('Deja Vecu' - Austral 2025) and SF novella ('The Hidden God' - Asimov's). It's a juried award and represents the best of Oz spec-fic. Congrats to all the nominees: aurealisawards.org/2026/02/01/2...

A brand new year goes well with a brand new story! My latest story, “The Stars You Can’t See by Looking Directly,” is out now at Clarkesworld! ✨❄️🌨️🌏

HONEYEATER is on it, but that Best Novel category is a killer selection! aurealisawards.org/2026/02/01/2...

TO: World’s Biggest Pedophile FROM: Elon Musk SUBJECT: RE: Pedophile party on your pedophile island Any other famous pedophiles going to be there? Looking forward to doing a bunch of pedophile stuff btw.

telling my adorable daughter i'm not putting the drawing she made on the fridge because it's toddlerslop

X is hiring a creative writing specialist at $40 an hour to make Grok better at writing and a true LOL at the qualifications

Elon Musk publicly slandering that cave diver as a "pedo guy" after he begged Jeffrey Epstein for island party invites is just incredible

You can’t tell me we have a functioning economic system when the richest man in human history is one of the most profoundly stupid people in human history

The 32gb of RAM I bought early last year for $154 is now $799. Thanks, AI techbros! www.centrecom.com.au/klevv-cras-v... #aisucks #ai

cool name why’s it called that

I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

guys, i think the billionaires are having the capitalism sads cos we don't like their dum-dum machine. 🥺 so, like, keep going, my darlings and darklings.

Big news for A Song of Ice and Fire fans! I spoke to George R. R. Martin and he said he’d finally come up with an ending for Winds of Winter. He explained the ending to me and I gave him my honest feedback that it stinks. He cried for a bit then said he’d maybe try again in 15 years or so

Don’t understand the 2016 trend. It was only three years ago, surely that’s too recent to be nostalgic about

Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale Cows: At long last, we have created the Cow Tools from classic newspaper comic Cow Tools

STOP FLYING TO PANDORA TO MAKE THE MOVIES, IDIOT

every seat in a movie theater should have an "I have to pee" button and if enough people press it they should be able to pause the movie

I write about the Adelaide Writers' Week debacle for @theshot.net.au. theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

a molecule is a group of non-monogamous moles

My acquittances lost their daily labour, which was to ingest just as much writing as was set out by others — with a mix of self-interest and, otherwise, arbitrariness — and regurgitate the superficial contents without any real understanding, insight or creativity. There are two jokes there.

Even the chuggers aren't safe. #ai #aisucks

I think about this a lot

I'll admit I quit reading after "the genie can't be put back inside the bottle." In the case of ai, the genie costs tens of billions a year while granting wishes that produce a couple million in profit annually. So no, it is only with great effort and expense that this genie can survive at all.

Chuck Wendig had a great response:

"If you’re pushing slop or eating it, you wouldn’t read it anyway. You’d ask a bot for a summary and forget what it told you, then proceed with your day, unchanged by words you did not read and ideas you did not consider." anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.
