LSU fan/grad here and let me say: Refs totally screwed Auburn with that non-call on obvious pass interference.

Auburn getting hosed something serious

Refs are absolutely hosing Auburn

NO SUDDEN MOVE doesn't really fit in the non-Parker Parker movie list either, but it does deal with classic Parker-era professional criminals fucking eachother over and being light on their feet. I love this movie so much

being disgusted by the Taco Bell Mountain Dew Baja Blast Pie is classism, sorry I don’t make the rules

The weather at the Manchester United - Chelsea match is terrible, and the pitch looks dangerous. As an Arsenal fan, I suggest cancelling the match and having them start over tomorrow.

Time for Garnacho!!!

Chelsea has their keeper sent off 5 minutes in and this may make it even for Man Utd at least.

Samsung have confirmed that those who have splashed out more than $1,800 on one of its high-tech fridges may be forced to sit through unwanted commercials in their own home. www.unilad.com/technology/n...

This isn't even close to being the most unhinged thing in the Daily Mail today

I still have some extra copies of BURN THIS NIGHT. If you'd like a signed copy with an individualized murder drawing, shoot me a message. Happy to customize to include your boss or your ex.

Is there a credit card that offers 10x back at used bookstores? I need some of those. Thanks.

Interviewing players at halftime is the dumbest and worst thing to ever happen to sports ever #PremierLeague #ManchesterDerby

What poster did you have hanging on your wall as a kid?

That’s me down there on the right! Thanks for posting, Richie.

Not even a half-minute in and a red card!!! Unbelievable. What a match already

Liking Madueke to create something lovely for Arsenal, but worried about Mosquera’s sluggish passing.

My 1st agenting deal. ✨ Dina Nayeri’s brilliant, original, hilarious novel A HAPPY DEATH, acquired by genius editor @kpories.bsky.social at @algonquinbooks.bsky.social, with an expected publication date in early 2027. 🎉 @publisherswkly.bsky.social

Amazing. In 1983, I tried something similar with my best friend, David Tomlin. The results were not as positive.

Caught whiffs of DOPE THIEF coming off of TASK (complimentary). Get some @dennistafoya.bsky.social if you enjoyed it

We're still tired after last week here at That Noise at 2 AM, talking to Archer Sullivan about her debut novel, THE WITCH'S ORCHARD. jamesdfhannah.substack.com/p/43-five-fo...

We used to be a country. A proper country.

I’m still on a cloud after winning an Anthony Award last night surrounded by loved ones and friends. I appreciate everyone’s kind words about my speech. It’s one I wish I didn’t have to give, but we must keep talking about these issues. Huge congrats to all winners and nominees!!

Doctor I trust more than RFK Jr

My dude, @robdsmith.bsky.social killed it at the Bouchercon Debut Author breakfast talking about his Anthony-nominated novel, GOOD-LOOKING UGLY. Grab a copy if you haven’t. And yes, I’ll always look up to this dude. a.co/d/88SI4r3

Dear Lord, Grant me the confidence of this airport shop trying to sell Michelob Ultra shirts.

Background that kicked off this investigation here. As anyone who’s ever pitched freelance writing knows, as scams go this one is time consuming and complicated for probably not a huge reward. But it does significantly more harm to legitimate writers trying to get placed.
