Oh, Nuala and Cluracan. We have waited for so long to have you with us 🩷🪷 this is so sureal. After two years of patiently waiting and anxiety whether they will be in it, it feels so good to know that not only they are real but they have been entrusted to great actors 🩵🩷

Raising my hand to say yes I am excited!

I binged it over a couple of nights recently, it's still great. Plus Paterson Joseph is hot AF as the Marquis de Carabas.

Only kinda?

Really didn't like the idea of KHB as Death (just the look) , but gave it a chance when I heard you personally approved. Man was i glad to be wrong wrong wrong, she was AWESOME. Every single bit of S1 casting was perfect, can't wait for S2.

How wonderful to see Clive Russell in there! Makes me want to rewatch Neverwhere - although, to be fair, the *existence* of Neverwhere makes me want to rewatch Neverwhere!

The one thing we could use more of is signed book Buy it Nows. US citizen/permanent resident authors, if you have 5-10 books that you can ship out, and don’t mind donating to the cause, fill this out: docs.google.com/form...

Sandman Season 2. More casting. Are you excited? I'm excited.

I read Bradbury's HOMECOMING on the new Selected Shorts podcast! podcasts.apple.com/ro/podcast/c...

I trust everyone has been keeping up with these. They always make me smile.

A new bit of Tolkien silliness, as I fight off the blues today. "Communiqué from the Tourist Office for the Barrow Downs" - hope you enjoy, @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com et al....

Closer to the patrol car IMO but any Spectrum car would be safer, even with the Mysterons chasing you.

Today I saw what I suspect to be my first Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle in the wilds of Woodstock. Now keeping a weather eye out for Mysterons.

He wouldn't murder you. Almost definitely.

[P] Performers there never realize until too late: it is, in fact, the wolf who has set a trap for *you*.

It does!

For anyone on the fence, I had the pleasure of going to one of his readings and it was one of the best experiences of live entertainment I’ve ever had. We all know how great the stories are and his voice is amazing, but it’s the commentary that really nailed it for me!

If you want to watch me trap a wolf live you will be disappointed. However if you want an evening of me reading cool stuff and answering questions and generally having much too much fun then there are still some tickets available and it is only 3 weeks away. www.wolftrap.org/calendar/per...

“And on your new album, a line that really jumped out at me was on “Company Commander,” when you say “right-wingers burning their libraries down.” You think, “Here are the things that gave the working class in Wales power and now we’ve got people, as you describe, burning the libraries down.”

"The library gave him the opportunity to increase his vocabulary so he could use different words. Literally, libraries gave him power." (Sheen) "This is about finding poetry in the strangest places." (Cale) This was lovely.

Okay, let's see. Hmm. Douche, jock douche, cult member, manbun in training, Harry Potter's Day Job and... Crowley, is that you? This is your fault, isn't it. @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com

Friendly reminder that Ronald Reagan was called senile so often it became a running gag on SNL and the late night shows. He then won 49 of 50 states in the 1984 election.

Hooray for the New York Public Library! It's going to be open 7 days a week, thanks to the budget passed by the City Council today—and all the organizers who pushed to make this happen

A lovely conversation between John Cale and Michael Sheen www.interviewmagazine.com/music/if-its...

This comic anthology about the asexual experience has only 2 days left, and they’re SO CLOSE to their goal!! Asexuality is so poorly understood in the queer spectrum, and doesn’t get spotlit enough. Let’s come together & help this book get made this Pride Month! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mck...

I think the reason Philip K Dick is still the predominant SF writer of the last century is, he was the only one who foresaw a future where everything would be boring, inconvenient and dehumanising, and where the only way you can win is to somehow refuse to give up your humanity.

on the very day the Supreme Court's conservatives said 'we know best' and put themselves in charge of complicated agency decisions one of the geniuses confused nitrous oxide and nitrogen oxide. So they had to have a do over. Not exactly an auspicious start. www.forbes.com/sites/alison...

It's another fake. Sorry.

very curious to see how political commentators metabolize a biden uptick in the polls if it shows up

What about the convicted felon, folks? The noted fraud? The rapist? The classified document thief? Should he be standing down? No? Illuminating. Not at all good, but illuminating.

Periodic reminder: What you see on social media is an algorithm-curated echo chamber. Those who shout loudest typically get amplified the most, regardless of whether they’re right. The real work takes place offline. If you’re getting stressed out by today, take a break, focus on what you can do.

It was painted by Mr Josh Kirby, who painted all the Discworld covers.

It does, but not in the same way that the... er... previous site... did. Notice how the real @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com ends with "neilgaiman.com" while the imposters ends with "bsky.social" or something similar. The verification process reflects off a record tied to the domain...

It's a hard-scamming account -- the first I've seen on Bluesky. Please report to Bluesky then Block. This is my only account here.

Definitely a fake account. Report and block...

Fun fact, the Good Omens subreddit did a book cover smack down to choose the best GO cover and, apparently, there are 80-some GO covers out there shorturl.at/wZ7Hc
