Just me and my new best friend, Walter Mosley. His hand rests on my (now signed) first edition of Little Scarlet. In front of him is my (now signed) first edition of Cinnamon Kiss, which I am currently reading (hence the bookmark). He could not have been kinder. Go ahead and meet your heroes.

Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll She was born on March 20th, 1915

If this means I'll now be hearing less of "Kristi Noem is a Bo-Legged Ho" then I have mixed feelings.

The main takeaway from all these commercials with de-aging tech is that boomers and x'ers are getting old and they are not okay.

I'm watching Heaven Can Wait in honor of the super bowl, and if today's game doesn't have a starting quarterback who is fatally injured in the fourth quarter but is then resuscitated miraculously by the spirit of the team's quarterback who was killed in the preseason, it will be a disappointment.

@wmboyle4.bsky.social I'm a little late to the party, but god damn! A banger from start to finish. Beautifully done, sir.

From Y.A. Tittle's Wiki entry. Big if true

I literally can't tell Kalen DeBoer and Brent Venables apart. Every time one of them is on camera, I have to check the hat to see which one it is.

If you have to tell people you are a smart voice, you are not a smart voice.

A TBR so good I hardly know where to start. And yes, if you would like to receive a Japanese woodblock print note card, I will definitely send you one.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

The Virginia race for Attorney General boils down to: You're a pussy! Uh-uh, you're the pussy! You can't call me that, I'm gonna tell my dad! Go ahead and tell him, my dad can beat up your dad! No he can't! Yes he can! You're such a pussy! You are!

when I realize I'm safe and sound now, back in good old 2025

Breaking me out of a reading slump in a BIG way, thanks @vondoviak.bsky.social

My pulpy historical noir, Turnpike Confidential, is on display in the Library of Virginia bookstore, part of the "House to Highway" exhibit that runs until Feb. 28, 2026. Alongside more respectable fare, of course... www.lva.virginia.gov/events/exhib...

Scammers, I do appreciate your need to sell me overpriced services I don't need. But in the future, please take a moment to make sure you get the title of my book right.

Your semi-regular reminder that, yes, I wrote a book and it is available for purchase in at least one bookstore. Now back to the world on fire.

What's the best kind of mail? Why, book mail of course! Looking forward to it @cterlson.bsky.social

Confusing things in this life: Barabbas was the prisoner pardoned by Pontius Pilate instead of Jesus. Carrabba's is a chain of Italian eateries based in Florida. I feel it is important to keep them straight, though the idea of a chain restaurant based on the life of Barabbas is amusing.

Confusing things in this life: A Jeroboam is a large wine bottle that holds the equivalent of four standard wine bottles. A Jerboa is hopping desert rodent with large ears and a tail common to North Africa and Asia. Hope this helps.

If a cricket comedian bombs onstage, what sound do they hear from the audience?

It's that time of year when Americans pay attention to Bob Baffert for a day.

I decided to search ‘mediaeval illuminated manuscript cats’. Opened up a whole big can of weird.

@steveweddle.bsky.social dude, this was on Jeopardy! last night. Sadly, not an entire category devoted to your fine book, but to actual counties located inside the U.S. Opportunity missed.

Not me at an author event, reading from a book that I wrote!

Author event or monster truck rally? Okay, it's an author event. But it's tonight, Thursday Thursday Thursday! BE there!

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

GOP members complaining about reduction of military standards while using a chart that misspells the word military!

I'm such a marketing genius that it took me an entire day to re-skeet this...

It's publication day for my book, and all I can say is that it feels nothing like I thought it would. I am now, however, fully into my shameless self-promotion era, so prepare yourself for way more of my bullshit. www.brandylanepublishers.com/product/turn...

The fact that the Pop-Tarts Bowl turned out to be awesome is maybe my favorite thing about bowl season so far.

"Good job, buddy, you got this! Just remember to breathe and you'll get through it. C'mon, you've done hard things before and you can do it again!" - me, to myself while trimming my toenails earlier this afternoon

Check it out, y'all. An honest-to-god author event next month! pamunkeylibrary.libcal.com/event/12268933

Thanks in advance...

@steveweddle.bsky.social just started this morning, enjoying immensely. "Chateaubrioche" gave me my first real laugh of the week.

Godzilla vs. Rodin

For some weird reason, I've suddenly developed a taste for fiction set in the waning days of the Weimar Republic.

Just back from voting, now actively avoiding election coverage and self-medicating with The Blues Brothers.
