After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Indeed! Huge news! Congrats to @shortwavebooks.bsky.social

Why not?

There's an elementary school near my house which I drive past AT LEAST twice per day. Years I've lived here. And I realized today: I've never seen any children on that playground.

If your industry can't build a product without stealing from artists and writers, then you should be financially ruined.

1. Please be real 2. Please, please (PLEASE!) develop a similar tool for writers!!!

In which @patrickbarb.bsky.social and I talk X-Men, shooting your shot, and the work of Chris Golden.

Absolutely worth the read!

Did NOT realize they recently made a music video for this! Fun Fact - More than one folks has told me I look like the 1980's ver. of David Byrne IRL.

That sort of day, I guess

Be bold in your writing!

You sure about this, Google?

Two big changes coming to all Shortwave books... 1. End credits! Like in movies! Where everyone who worked on a particular title will be credited, alongside their role. 2. A statement on every copyright page which reads, "No genAI was used during any part of the production of this book." (1/3)

(Thursdays as Bernie) "Let's be clear": If I had a book out (or forthcoming), I would be posting that noise MULTIPLE times a day! Morning, noon, and night! Get the word OUT there, #writingcommunity. No shame.

Awesome Friday read! Gives you that post-pool chill. @ergot.bsky.social strikes again!

I wish more social media looked, worked, and felt like goodreads.

Hey #writingcommunity, There is nothing stopping you from transcribing your latest short story onto a titanium steel slab and burying it out in the desert. In 500 years, it will be accounted as one of the most important epics of our entire civilization!

🤞

Trying to photograph the beauty of Iceland is the same kind of futile as trying to take a picture of a really good sunset. Something of the majesty, the awe, the sublime, is always lost. But that doesn’t stop us from trying. 🇮🇸

Worth a read if, like me, you assume ANY magazine that charges a submission fee is a scam and should be avoided. lithub.com/the-rise-of-...

Wow! I wish I loved anything as much as the people of Iceland (apparently) love licorice. 🤢🤮
