I know I say "I am so excited about this Mark Watson project-" ad nauseum, but NO REALLY this time. I am in love with the format and confident Mark's going to knock it out of the park. I've got some recommendations for three fantastic serialised podcasts you can binge while you're waiting... 🧵

1) Seth Porges is a fantastic documentarian and I'm very much looking forward to seeing his latest about Santacon 2) "Cacophony Society" is really fun to say 3) The book he wrote with his neuroscientist father sounds fascinating

Today I diced 3 pounds of onions for soup while listening to a comedy podcast. Really lowered the bar for "I laughed until tears streamed down my face."

I have bitten the cables That were on the floorboards And you were probably using for power or data Forgive me they were delicious So loose and so coiled -William Catlos Wire-lliams [I'll leave now]

being sappy and earnest and sincere is underrated. there are a million ways to show someone you love them and you should explore everyone of them, for friends and family and partners. do it for them, but do it for you, too. you'll feel great

Congrats to the Dodgers fans, and thanks to my buddy for dragging me into watching this one! Absolutely bonkers. The Jays played a fantastic series. (I'll never forget you, Fruit Tray.) Now. Who's up for some basketball? Do we do that one here, too?

NO THANK YOU

The third inning has been brought to you by this blue jay. If you look really closely, it's now twerking in the outfield.

There is no such thing as too much garlic.

I was prepared to say that at least UK baseball fans don't have to worry about Halloween shenannigans overlapping the World Series for them, but it seems like I didn't miss much in the first 2 innings.

Oh so this is how we're starting game 5, huh?

I'm still a fairly neutral party when it comes to these two teams, but I've gotta admit that I'm relieved the Jays tied up the series so they can go back to Toronto.

I haven't been able to stop thinking about "what if Hocus Pocus, but No More Jockeys" so I made it exist. Happy Halloween! @alexhorne.bsky.social @watsoncomedian.bsky.social #NMJ #Wattober

you are so far from what it means to be human, you have forgot the wild hunt for knowledge & stories, the electricity of creative synthesis, the slow, backwards, fatal fall into love. take fruit directly from the tree and devour it as though you know nothing but desire

Excellent bird luck today! Great blue heron flew overhead, SIX white ibises in the parking lot (they were all in a tree together before a dog barked at them, which was even cooler), and then a male cardinal sat in my window for a while.

shout out to all the writers and artists who take forever to finish something. I get it, bro. I take a long time too. but your worth as a writer/artist isn't built upon production. so just keep striding it out. keep taking those steps. we each have our own race track. we'll get to the finish line

Who else just watched Good Mythical Evening? 👽 🚀🪐 Good lord. Something for everyone in this one. Worth every penny. (You can still get the VOD.)

Accountability report on Writing The Thing (which, I must confess, is actually three things): After reading That Book (phew- not sure how to distil my thoughts on that one into bleet format just yet), I decided to Do An Art as a creative palette cleanser. Just a silly little Halloween parody.

With Halloween around the corner, this feels like a good excuse to revisit one of the best music videos of the 90's. In the battle of the boy bands, I was one of the rare ones on the side of 98°, but in the interest of providing some honest feedback... even I can admit Kevin's looking FINE.

When you finish a book and you just know when you go onto goodreads the ratings will be abysmal because so many people hate a story that doesn't do the things they want it to, instead of appreciating that an author is doing their own damn thing.

More No More Jockeys comic nonsense for #drawtober! Key struggles with the definition of 'spinster' in a way that only Key can. Horne and Watson try their best.

I know nothing about TommyInnit, but look at this lineup: Keith from the Try Guys, Max Fosh, Alex Horne, and... Gordon Ramsay?? And it benefits the Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. Seems worth tuning in for!

Shit I was meant to tell you that you can get the paperback of my novel with 25 percent off if you preorder. But it expires today. But, I don’t know, there’s still a bit of today left.

This is a delightful series of photos. I particularly like these.

"I'm doing so well at Writing The Thing that I can take a break for a few days and treat myself with reading That Book I've Been Saving. It certainly won't embed itself in my prefrontal cortex, demanding I pointlessly write thousands of words of analysis of someone else's plot." ...🤡

Another No More Jockeys #drawtober comic! In this one, we play everyone's favorite game, Big or Small, Thick or Dainty!

Had to take a few minutes to play some of the Earth Must Die demo as soon as I saw the email come through. The graphics and sound design are beautiful. The interface is elegant and intuitive. And the plot is completely insane. I haven't played anything like it. Looking forward to seeing more!

Ideal evening: bath so hot I can hardly stand it, filled to the brim. Huge glass of ice water. A soft pink light and a candle. Instrumental music. A book that consumes me, dissolves me within itself.

Novels should be reviewed widely and in depth like albums and films; there should be a mainstream Sunday night TV show devoted to novels; the book-buying market should be skewed violently towards fiction. In 2025 these are all unhinged opinions.

I have a train seat that I consider the absolute worst one: first seat in the car, aisle. No table, outlet, or windows I can see out of at all. It occurs to me that a tall person might value this seat for its ample legroom. Crossing my fingers we pick up an NBA player that wants to do swapsies.
