Read it and weep. And prosecute, when we are able.

Yes.

The only thing more terrifying than the Devil is the American health care system. TODAY OUR SHOW GOES LIVE. The Terror: Devil in Silver streaming on AMC+ & Shudder. On AMC linear in September. To celebrate I'm sharing a thread of the films and tv that inspired our show's tone and mood and style.

11 hours to go in the auction of the century, in support of those grand folks at @storystudiochicago.bsky.social!

They really are going about dismantling and dissolving Black political power with Post-Reconstruction glee and zeal.

Being part of the fiction jury for the Pulitzer Prize means you read A LOT of books. Inevitably, there’s more excellent work than you can count. Since the prize has been announced, I’m recommending five other books that I read and loved during the process. Read ‘em all!

That they are breaking the law cannot be the rallying cry. Slavery was legal. Every person who freed themselves and others was breaking the law. The law will not save us.

The rich are wealth creators! But only for themselves.

Enormous congratulations to this year’s Winner & Finalists for the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction. Daniel Kraus - ANGEL DOWN (W) Katie Kitamaura - AUDITION (F) Torrey Peters - STAG DANCE (F) It was enormous honor to serve on this year’s jury & highlight such ambitious, amazing books. Read all three!

Op-ed on winning the fight ahead. “Lincoln … warned at his inauguration in 1861 that if ‘vital questions affecting the whole people’ are to be ‘irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court,’ then ‘the people will have ceased to be their own rulers.’ We must not cease to govern ourselves.”

You can still send a comment, but the deadline is midnight tonight!

Killing in the name of…

Let ‘em know.

🧵

All these people have ever wanted was for white men to be the only Americans allowed to vote. Supreme Court working overtime to make that a reality. When we get these people out of power, forgive and forget can’t be an option. They will never stop fighting to regain that bad old America.

It’s grifts all the way down.

So…your boy is at Cannes, debuting THE TERROR: DEVIL IN SILVER alongside my brother, @ifyoucantwell.bsky.social , Karyn Kusama, and the incredible Judith Light. Savoring this moment. Wild. Truly wild.

Just ahead of Tuesday's special election for District 3, we talked to Lindsey Boylan about being a supporting player for the mayor in City Council, how she would support LGBTQ New Yorkers in District 3, and joining NYC-DSA.

First time reading “Autofac” by Philip K. Dick. No surprise but he diagnosed the problem with AI in 1955.

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

When I interviewed @victorlavalle.bsky.social @ifyoucantwell.bsky.social & Karyn Kasuma for #DevilinSilver, I had no idea AMC+/Shudder would release the opening scene! Here's what the coshowrunners & director said about the clip & what it sets up for the series. reactormag.com/victor-laval...

We’ve shared the opening scene of Devil in Silver. Let’s just say it sets the tone, and look, and sound, for what’s to come. Play it with the volume up so you can really hear it when things start to…crack. THE TERROR: DEVIL IN SILVER 5/7 on AMC+ & SHUDDER

Never forget they're creating this havoc deliberately—out of spite.

Celebrating trans kids getting the right to be treated like every other fucking kid. Now it’s just got to be enforced. @mayor.nyc.gov I’m looking at you.

Saturday reread. KOKO by Peter Straub. Maybe fourth or fifth time through? I lose myself in Straub’s prose style without fail.

how you know zohran mamdani is doing well. the billionaires and capitalist class fucking us all over are scared

FULL TRAILER! THE TERROR: DEVIL IN SILVER This showcases our cast, which is STACKED with greatness. In a way, this story is the work of my lifetime. Chris has been the greatest partner in making this show real. Karyn, Ridley and so many others were vital in all this. Feeling wildly proud.

This is going to be a great time. If you’re in Indianapolis, or in the mood to visit, go to Mo*Con and bask in the brilliance of all these excellent writers and thinkers. April 30 - May 3, 2026.

Being a billionaire, or married to one, has got to be the best echo chamber of all time. Even better than being born royal. Imagine having all those resources and not paying one person to lean close and whisper in your ear, "Don't do this dumb shit."

So happy for Hungary today.

“Don't let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you."

Saturday evening vibe. Joan Baez. The Partisan. youtu.be/vnSgNfYZtxY?...

We visited an open house in Harlem tonight. Gorgeous place and this is my dream bedroom. Imagine sleeping surrounded by all those books. They come with the house (if you want).

Some writers are great at being public figures but others write, a solitary profession, exactly because we aren’t good at that. Even a fantastic sum of money might not be enough to make you change your basic nature. What to do? If you’re Helen DeWitt you write something funny & honest.

Spreading the word, support union workers at ProPublica.

Teaser Trailer for THE TERROR: DEVIL IN SILVER just dropped. We got something good coming your way. Tell your friends.

Appreciate this very clear list of powers @mayor.nyc.gov has at his disposal to support trans kids whose health care has been shamefully discontinued by two of New York’s biggest hospitals. I voted for a mayor who would support these kids as much as any others.

I’m a big fan of this podcast, Screenwriters Rant Room. This episode is particularly excellent. Navigating a writers room, how to generate your ideas and nurture them until they become a full story. A lot of advice equally useful for writing prose as well. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

This fairy tale forms workshop sold out last week but we’ve added a few more seats, so if you were trying to get in, get in now! It’s going to be so fun and generative writingworkshops.com/collections/...

Yes. A thousand times over.

OUR SHOW IS GOING TO CANNES! The Terror: Devil in Silver premiere at Canneseries. The celebration of exciting new TV shows out this year. Even better, Judith Light, @ifyoucantwell.bsky.social , Karyn Kusama, and me will be in Cannes for the fun. So proud of our show. variety.com/2026/tv/glob...

If you haven’t read this yet, you should fix that.

"We hear you telling us unequivocally that you want absolutely nothing to do with AI so we're working hard to insist you engage with it anyway as we're absolutely tone deaf to the requirements of the user base of our product."

If you’re a New York resident (city or state) use this thread to see how you can contact Governor Hochul, Mayor Mamdani & AG James. Tell them to live up to their promises to protect trans kids. Don’t let people talk shit to get elected and then not follow through.

Reminder that you are being lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale

Jury in New Mexico does what Federal and State governments won’t: protect its children from a tech company.

WE MADE A TELEVISION SHOW. @victorlavalle.bsky.social & I adapted his incredible book The Devil in Silver into a new season of THE TERROR alongside Karyn Kusama & Ridley Scott. Dan Stevens will blow you away this. So will Judith Light. CCH Pounder. Stephen Root. The cast is stacked. May 7th. 😈 🚪🔒

Now it's official. THE TERROR: DEVIL IN SILVER is coming to you. I can't begin to express how proud I am of the show we made. It's a story of systematic evil, unjust imprisonment, abuse & the need for ALL to fight together to beat the devils who prey on us. Get ready!

Afroman prestige limited-series culminating in his courtroom victory by Monday, please.
