Post you from a different era. Me, circa the mid '80s

ICE is clearly a terrorist organization and needs to be classified and treated as such.

Frankenstein is available to stream on Netflix today, so expect a bunch of “I don’t get the big deal” takes from people uninterested in the movie who half-watched it on their phones.

If you have a Tesla you should get rid of it immediately.

What a strange technology.

I think if corporations get to pretend to be people and we have to have a death penalty, they should be subject to it and OpenAI should be first on the long list of corporations that need to be put down.

one of my least favorite new publishing "truths" is that books only deserve consistent marketing & publicity if they are already doing well, it's the new "needs experience to get experience" 🤡

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

I hope they not only go bankrupt, but that they all go to prison.

The studio press reps are stupid for not tracking Bluesky. I post after a movie all the time and the engagement here is at least three times what it was on Twitter.

Yup

ACAB and that includes tone police.

Mamdani: "We believe in standing up for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job ... your struggle is ours too."

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

The problem with these quoted strategists saying that Democrats need to move to the center to win is that they’ve spent so many years shifting to the right that Mamdani’d campaign IS a shift back toward the center.

hey do you want to buy a rusty tricycle that you can use to tow around the broken bicycle we sold you yesterday

Seems like New York has a clear decision between the Kingpin and Daredevil for mayor and Kingpin is really upset that Daredevil is more popular….

I was a guest of the @mercenarystar.bsky.social podcast this weekend to talk about the Fox Patrol and my new book, BattleTech: Outfoxed! Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hfn...

New awareness campaign

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

Yup. This realization completely changed the way I use social media. I was being manipulated into engaging with and propagating bad takes. It hijacks human tendency to believe something that is repeated often enough en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusor...

100%. I loved this book. It was a tense and scary bit of delightful catharsis. @delilahsdawson.bsky.social made a good one. (though she usually only makes good ones.)

I like Star Wars. And writing about it.

Now that you've watched all of Star Wars Visions Season 3, listen to @swankmotron.com and @hollyfrey.bsky.social talk all about it! fullofsith.libsyn.com/fos/episode-...

One of the coolest publications I've ever been had a story in and one I'm super proud of: So It Goes: The Literary Journal of the Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Museum and Library Issue 14 was published today. You can only get it through the library. My story is "Strikeout". www.kvmlshop.org/product/so-i...

Why is @slcpd.bsky.social not interceding or doing anything to help her? These people shouldn’t be here terrorizing folks and at least when I worked for SLC, the two chiefs of police who worked there were adamant that PD had zero roll in this sort of nonsense. @slcmayor.bsky.social?

youtube.com/live/N3I3KMk... @swankmotron.com joins me today going over Outfoxed and the Fox Patrol. Startime is around a half an hour after this post goes live. #Battletech

I'm going to be joined by @swankmotron.com at some point today on stream to talk about his latest novel, #Outfoxed which I finished reading yesterday. I'll post the link to it when we get everything sorted in the afternoon today. #Battletech #FoxPatrol

I wrote about every episode of Star Wars Visions Season 3 for @slashfilm.bsky.social, and you'll be able to listen to @hollyfrey.bsky.social and I talk about it at length as soon as the new @fullofsith.bsky.social goes live today. TL;DR: It's the best season yet. www.slashfilm.com/2010445/star...

I wrote about @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein for @scriptmagazine.bsky.social. It was just an incredible achievement in film and screenwriting adaptation. scriptmag.com/guillermo-de...

Finished reading this one from @swankmotron.com. It was a fun read, the first full Fox Tail's story I've read, though I've seen them in other things here and there. Generally the Fox Tail's are a bit on the lighter side of things, which usually isn't my immediate go-to, but it was fun. #Battletech

Today the review embargo lifts on STAR WARS: MASTER OF EVIL & honestly I'm just here for people trying to work out @michaelastackpole.bsky.social's hidden cameos. So far I've seen one referenced... but there are more. One of which is so obscure only @chaosbria.com knows and only because I told her.

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Why would someone who thinks civil rights are negotiable--especially for trans folks like my kid--think they deserve my vote? That simply means they're too eager for power and too morally flexible to be trusted.

I've literally been calling my congress woman 2-3 times a week since all of this nonsense because of the threats to my kid's right to just exist. The energy of a parent angry about people trying to marginalize your kid is such that they would not believe.

On Oct. 23, the Utah State Board of Education banned the book Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. They did so quietly, and without press. We can't let them get away with this. Spread the word, and talk about this book. More information can be found at: bookriot.com/utah-bans-th...

Come along on our first dive into BattleTech fiction with a review of Bryan Young’s recently released novel Outfoxed, the first full-length outing for his signature mercenary unit, the Fox...

Long story, but @swankmotron.com got locked out of facebook, so this got delayed, but here's last week's episode. An interview with the producer of the @npr.org Star Wars Radio Dramas! fullofsith.libsyn.com/fos/episode-...

If only we would look at all those studies that say UBI works and, you know, IMPLEMENT IT. Everyone deserves to be able to live without struggling for the most basic needs. Come on.

It’s even better looking in person…

In the face of AI grinding out all sort of fictional dross... I believe all writers should stress the fact we're doing the work on our own. From now on all my work will be known as "hand-crafted, artisanal fiction for the discerning and intelligent reader."

the Journey continues, and the drum is still being beaten. 7 grand in emergency hospital bills, with 2 months off work, is not good. Got rent and utilities coming up, and around 60% of the Hospital bills, covered. And here's a cute Marauder. ko-fi.com/bishopsbeerf...

Author Rachael K. Jones is known for writing stories that are so knife-sharp that you cut yourself when you pick them up. Her story "Five Functions of Your Binosaur," from Issue 4, is a gentler story, though still bittersweet.
