Late Christmas/birthday book haul. I got a taco recipe book. My mom always gets me books I’ve never read and don’t own. It’s uncanny.

Announcing my new novel, NIGHTJARS, out September 29, 2026 from St. Martin's Press. Pre-orders are open now. This one is leaner, bloodier, darker, and full of my grim heart. I can't wait for you to nestle under its wing. us.macmillan.com/books/978125... Does the nightjar remember the night?

Some folks’ cornbread just ain’t done in the middle

Not surprised to see Martin Freeman’s name on a list of donors to anti trans orgs. He’s a known dickhead. I almost convinced myself the BTK Killer was a donor too.

Many games have been inspired by Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos but there’s a good question as to where you want to begin.

I don't know why patriot Charlie Kirk deleted this patriotic tweet about patriotic buses busing patriots to DC on Jan 6th, but the Internet never forgets. web.archive.org/web/20210107...

Stuff like this is why Needy Amin is the best name anyone ever came up with.

RIP Dick Cheney, you would have finally found something to like about the Trump presidency (illegally overthrowing a government for oil)

Boss bought me my favorite tacos for lunch for an early birthday present. Is there a better gift? I don’t know.

This thread. Don’t stop he’s already dead.

Son of poet Robert Frost believe it or not

AI is like an infomercial with that slap chop guy trying to get you to buy tv static at an affordable price

And he’ll use the pen name Harlan Ellison

“If you don’t let the robots take over now you’ll feel left out when they do take over” is definitely something a serious person would say and totally not what a robot lawyer would argue.

This stuff is dangerous. Tastes like a coffee drink, nothing more. Most of their drinks have a kick to them. 13% alcohol with absolutely no hint of the vodka lurking inside.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains. I mean

Fuck kind of play call is that?

When the Turducken has Longlegs

Dead Santas by Michael Wegener Rawls walked out of the joint the week before Christmas. Cold wind fixing to edge more lines into his face. Chrissy was waiting for him leaning against her car, still looking mighty fine. She’d been visiting him inside all the time, but seeing her outside was…

We made it to Hambry, and here our hearts lie broken. The Dark Tower Deep Dive reaches WIZARD & GLASS. And though we hear a whole different side to @chrispanatier - be warned, middle-aged nostalgia for adolescent love inevitably comes with dick jokes. Enjoy with our thanks. Merry Christmas all.

Toyotathon started as a pagan holiday

Chris Berman voice: Jared shoulda played Golf with the fumble!!!

Merry Christmas everybody. Here’s a pic of some breakfast casserole slathered in Carolina Reaper salsa. My gift to me.

Got on the TV this morning to talk about the weird things I’m into/my upcoming debut short story collection!! www.tmj4.com/shows/the-mo...

I regret to inform you that Jonah is Jonah-ing again

You love to see it

A Lord of the Rings cover band called Flock of Smeagols

Got a one sentence crime story in Punk Noir, part of their One Shot Kill theme, which is, you guessed it, a crime story in one sentence, in which I use a lot of commas and now wish I had squeezed in an em dash, but you can’t live in the past, it’ll drive you crazy if you let it.
