We have now reached the point where I’m getting marketing scams for books I didn’t write.

"Brett Riley’s COMANCHE is the best western-horror-thriller-ghost story-PI novel ever written. COMANCHE is a rollicking ride. Fans of Joe Lansdale and James Lee Burke, Brett Riley is the author you didn’t know you loved.” —Tod Goldberg (Thanks, brother) www.amazon.com/Comanche-Nov...

@jedkmeshew.bsky.social Sine you’re a fan of The Wire you should do a “which MMA fighter is which character?” column.

To Pam Bondi, Don't worry. I'm sure the stock market will be fine.

The Boss pays tribute to Shane MacGowan. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nhj3...

#NoKings Not now, not ever. Down with ICE. No rapists in high office. Screw fascism and bigotry.

The most important part of today’s meandering, unhinged cabinet meeting is that the president is a serial rapist and pedophile, and also a war criminal.

I have never used AI in any of my writing. And I never will.

Chronicling how utterly stupid Trump and the GOP are. Fuck ICE, and fuck Trump. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hlM...

My contribution to the Cabin in the Woods subgenre has, in the ongoing first draft, passed 60K. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The song currently stuck in my head. You're welcome. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4nP...

A fictional character that would get a job in the Trump administration because he treats objects like women, man: Jackie Treehorn.

May fire ants nest in John Fetterman's jockstrap.

I have no problem with the Oscar winners this year. I would have also had no problem if SINNERS had swept everything.

This should be played at the loudest possible volume anytime a member of the Trump administration makes an appearance. Yes, press conferences, too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEmI...

If you are on a budget (or just cheap!) and have a Kindle, I’ve seen the following books on sale today for $1.99 or $2.99: Joe Hill, KING SORROW Jason Pargin, first four books of JOHN DIES AT THE END series Stephen Graham Jones—ALL THE BEAUTIFUL SINNERS and KILLER ON THE ROAD/THE BABYSITTER LIVES

Actual pic of me every time I get a news alert.

Replacing Noem with Mullins: like shitting your pants and changing your shirt, only the shirt is actually made of hornets.

I’m beginning to suspect that letting drug-addled, bigoted, white nationalist TV show hosts run the country was a deeply stupid idea executed by deeply stupid people.

Regardless of what happens next, Jasmine Crockett deserved better.

Uh uh. No, goddammit. Just no. www.avclub.com/bruce-campbe...

RIP Dan Simmons, an excellent writer. THE TERROR is one of the best speculative historical novels I’ve ever read.

Trump is a fascist racist classist homophobic transphobic xenophobic misogynistic rapist whose name appears over 38000 times in the Epstein files, and some of y’all are fine with it.

I'm so white I look like an Irish vampire, and I have zero problems with a great and beautiful actor like Lupita Nyong'o playing Helen of Troy. Folks, don't bother acting like white people are underrepresented.

Trump is a serial rapist, a raging fascist, and an unapologetic bigot who apparently shits his pants in public regularly. To say I fail to see the appeal is the understatement of the millenium.

I just learned that the great Sal Buscema died three days ago. He was one of my very favorite comics artists. I particularly loved his work on the Spider-Man titles. RIP, sir.

Man, even by MMA standards, Josh Hokit is a piece of shit. #UFC324

@paramountplusbr.bsky.social Bad enough you’re a mouthpiece for fascists and bigots. Now you’ve fucked up watching the UFC too. Why do we have to wait until the entire show is over to watch on demand? Why do you use thumbnails that give away who won?

The Xenophobe-in-Chief is at it again. Hey Donny, attacking the most vulnerable populations makes you a bitch, not a tough guy.

Trump loves superlatives, so here's one for him: No one in history has every spent so much time talking and talking and TALKING without saying anything of substance.

From Threads: “Stephen Miller is what happens when you bury a dildo in the Pet Semetary.”

Just a quick reminder that the fascist cowards in ICE need to be in jail, as do the people who employ them.

All those small-government, don't-tread-on-me, second amendment worshippers must have left their guts in their other pants.

The ongoing first draft of the Cabin in the Woods horror novel currently sits at 52k words. #RileyFacts #TheMoreYouKnow #fictionbooks

Someone on Threads just said that ICE is an army of Kyle Rittenhouses. Yep!

ICE cowards murder a woman on camera. The Coward in Chief has already defended them.

The people saying "Let's give Trump a chance in Venezuela; maybe he'll introduce democracy and do good things with that oil" would be funny if they weren't so damn stupid.

I just saw Andy Borowitz call Stephen Miller "Pee Wee German," and now I can't stop laughing.

Gangster.

Things I will do in 2026: *Get back to exercising. *Be more disciplined about work than I was in the latter half of 2025 *Post more stuff on Substack *Place these four manuscripts *Finish the Cabin in the Woods project

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate, and happiest of holiday seasons to everyone. God bless.

We have now reached the point where Canadian TV is airing uncensored episodes of a venerable American news program because the network is owned by a fascist.

Isn't it strange that no one has found any pics of Trump with any of his sons sitting on his lap?

Someone tell JD Vance that America is NOT a Christian nation. It's a nation with a lot of Christians in it, but we don't have a state religion. If you're thinking you might like to change that, I refer you, for instance, to the history of Western Europe.

RIP James Ransone, gone far too young.

For those keeping track, the ongoing first draft of the Cabin in the Woods horror project crossed 40k words today. #writingcommunity #themoreyouknow
