Revenge in Three (Fresh Pulp) is an anthology of three novella-length adaptations of The Count of Monte Cristo: @laurylsilvers.bsky.social's Rat City (alt history/mystery), @austinyoshino.bsky.social's The Spatial Condition (sci-fi) and my The Pasha of Texas (Western). bookshop.org/p/books/reve...

@charlieangus104.bsky.social I'm concerned about your petition to remove Musk's citizenship. I assumed the citizenship was honorary and the removal, er, dishonorary. Why on earth would you want to create a precedent to remove the regular citizenship of political opponents? I want to remove my name.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Clog it!

Anyone on here a #traitors superfan and know a lot about the NZ and Australian shows? I have a very specific question.

Palestinian children celebrate the announcement of a ceasefire deal. (The IRC reports that around 20,000 children have been orphaned or separated from their parents since the start of the genocide, but IRC warned the actual number in conflicts can be three times as high.)

Anyone watching #LoveisblindGermany? I enjoy the small window onto different cultures. THEY DO NOT FALL IN LOVE EASILY. Not one of them has used the word "love" yet and the weddings are coming, whereas Americans are all in on day one. More breakups than any other show and Pascal is the archetype.

The dopamine hit I’m getting from #TheTraitorsUS

Finally seeing #Traitors. Ep. 1. 1. DELICIOUS. 2. CAROLINE YES. 3. TOM IS THE BEST DUMB. 4. BOB YES. 5. So great to see Jeremy having fun. 6. By men I mean Tony 😂. 7. B. Rob can’t act. 😂. I feel so bad they have to deal with him in the turret. Great drama.

The new Lion King is wonderful. I can't believe the CGI. But I love the simplicity of it. I'm not a fan of musicals, so this toned down version really works for me.

After the #LoveisBlind Habibi rings, I can’t with these German specks. 😂

I really want a daily #astrology horoscope for toddlers. Capricorn: You like your Duplos in order of colour and size to decide what to build, but today toss them this way and that until they are all messed up and see what you can make from them.

I did it. It's free. Happy New Year. Starting 12/31 to 1/2, free download of Disgraced a Toronto Thriller by my alter-ego Jayne Green. Everyone loves it who reads it except for that one right-wing weirdo, so that's okay. I'm dour, but the book is vibrantly hopeful despite being Baby Reindeer weird.

It's the last day of the giveaway and so I found my log in for Mastodon (what even is the name of the instance I used) and posted about. Everything about the interface is dumb. It's like everything we know makes people not want to use something. I'm sorry. But, no. Anyway, this book is still free.

Here’s an insightful ‘must read‘ from @jricole.bsky.social

DISGRACED: A TORONTO THRILLER IS STILL FREE UNTIL TOMORROW. I got a review that made me think the guy was high. I tried to write a trashy leftist novel and did not make it. Maybe this year is about believing in myself as a writer?

I guess Bluesky has arrived, I spend my allotted screen time for this space blocking fakes: Christian men, Trump Supporters, Never Trump Supporters, Book Marketers, and OF Link in Bio. Now I’ve posted this, after blocking, times up.

Costco CEO marked safe.

Carry On makes more sense if you let the girlfriend die once you've got the suitcase. 1 for how many people dead? I hate trolly problems, but thus is the action film. Lean into the stupid, it's still fun.

My grandson got a Mr. Potato Head for Christmas Eve and he won’t go to sleep so I can play with it.

Watching "Manchester by the Sea" while the husband is at an open mic. Every. Damn. Scene. Is. Perfect. But the scene at the bedside in the hospital when his brother first finds out he is sick is like a renaissance painting.

THE ROOM NEXT DOOR is my favorite Pedro Almodovar film in a good long while. For the @latimes.com, I wrote about its vision of personal and global apocalypse -- and gave special attention to Tilda Swinton's beautiful performance.

Art has a place. Maybe especially leftist trash thrillers. If you liked Baby Reindeer. You liked Lovecraft Country. You want to be entertained without losing your soul and maybe gaining something. Or you just want distraction that is the opposite of doom scrolling. Disgraced: A Toronto Thriller.

I am, once again, annoying everyone by letting you know that my comms are open! Head over to vgen.co/DWill and let me know what you want! #VGen #VGencomm #artsky #digitalart #illustration #ocart #commsopen #artcomms #oc #art #fantasy

Our top story: Alan Pogue has spent his life documenting progressive struggle. Along the way, he captured the history of the Observer, too.

Starting 100 Years of Solitude. So far, so wonderful.

At a #Survivor watch party for the finale. Pegasus in the village with my buddy Mo. happiest of happiest the dunya can deliver.

I’m watching Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris. Usually on Wednesday nights I do “beauty treatments” while watching Survivor. But tomorrow I’m going to a watch party for the first part of the finale, so it’s an older woman with dreams come true and my treatments tonight. Fitting. 😎

Oh this is delightful. Watch to the end. (the thread it is in is also delightful)

Holiday gift for tweens to adults! Warm-hearted mysteries staring tween sleuth Kamaka Holmes, a Hawaiian niece of Sherlock. The author Leilehua Yuen, is indigenous Hawaiian, a Hula master, a historian of Hawaii, a former journalist, and a material artist. #Indigisky🔥 www.amazon.com/He-Huli-%CA%...

"Sticky" is really good. Sometimes that "Canadian content" the streamers are required to make turns out to be excellent. Taut, funny, lots of pathos, great acting.

We're watching the Yogi Bhajan Guru Jagat documentary, Breath of Fire. He was in a restaurant in Beverly Hills and my brother-in-law, a Brooklyn guy, got him talking. He joined them and was laughing, detailing how he fooled them all, got them to wear white, saying religion was the best money-maker.

I really want to write up my analysis that #Traitors should be used to demonstrate just how impossible the justice system is, from start to finish. Tranna is that one juror who can push an entire jury of doubters to convict an innocent person. @robhasapodcast.bsky.social Can I pitch it?

Going to dig into: Making Sense of the Troubles. David McKittrick, David McVea

I'm taking a social media break into the New Year. In a pathetic attempt at promotion: Books Make Great Gifts. All my books are ferociously left wing and about saving your soul while deep in the good fight. Medieval Islam. Alt-Medieval Noir. Toronto Thriller. www.llsilvers.com

Not just me?

Published in 2019. It’s a lot. It’s not for everyone. But when it is for someone, it seems to stick. What more do I need as a writer?

I'm watching "Say Nothing," and wondering if there is a good John LeCarre style novel about the IRA written by an Irish author who is not on the British-Sympathy side of things. I'd like to learn more, but through a novel. Any suggestions? #Ireland #IRA #NorthernIreland #SayNothing
