This mystery place in Nagoya is maybe the coolest bookstore I've ever been to. Arrows lead you through the winding path of the store like a museum exhibit, all the shelves are giant books, and there are little sitting rooms/crime scenes throughout the store.

The judge in the sandwich guy case asked for order in the court and the defense asked for a Pastrami and a couple Reubens.

The wizard reads a complex alchemical formula to the little cat, who looks nonplussed.

the reason republicans lost yesterday is because theyre a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

For the newbie writers: this is a current scam making the rounds. The goal is to get you to pay for reviews from a book club that doesn't exist. Don't fall for it. (Extra asshole points to this bunch for pretending to be from a marginalized group.)

Daniel and Kelly are joined by Andy Warner, the co-author and illustrator of Daniel's new book, Do Aliens Speak Physics, and talk about how we might chat about science with aliens.

Private equity is where amoral assholes promise ignorant rich people that they can get greater returns than the stock market, under the theory that any healthy company can be made to make way more money if you don't care about the long-term health of the company, its employees, or customers.

Lots of incredibly lifelike raccoon costumes this year. Most are choosing a handful from the cat's food dish, instead of the bowl of full-size candy bars. Not what I would choose personally, but they are just silly kids..

Someone in my neighborhood got FED. UP.

Hi there Western Massachusetts! The thieves, @scottlynch78.bsky.social and I will see you tonight at @odysseybks.bsky.social ! 7pm! (RSVP if you can!)

It seems to me, the answer to “Should we?” is usually No, and the answer to “Will we?” is usually Yes.

ICYMI: If you've ever thought, "Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy" boy do I have a story for you.

TIL that the ninja turtles were “hero turtles” in the UK. Apparently some weird “protect the children” BS that particularly focused on nunchucks??

Hello, heist fans! On Nov. 9, Im teaching a virtual heist workshop! I’ve done a terrible job promoting it because of book tour brain - so! If you are interested in writing heists, give it a look! Help me spread the word! (The art was 100% done on the run, btw!) www.eventbrite.com/e...

The Sunday Morning Transport makes plans for the future today with a story from John P. Murphy (@johnpmurphy.bsky.social) that takes a hard look at identity, ownership, and perpetuity. Read a sample or subscribe to get the whole thing!

New story by @johnpmurphy.bsky.social in The Sunday Morning Transport: www.sundaymorningtransport.com/p/excerpts-f... I enjoyed this so much. I won't spoil it for you by saying more, but just think about it: how can an autobiography be unauthorized?

Recommended: "Excerpts from the Unauthorized Autobiography of Benjamin Brick," by John Murphy in today's The Sunday Morning Transport: www.sundaymorningtransport.com/p/excerpts-f...

carpenter: measure twice, cut once novelist: measure once, cut once, see the cut is so terrible you cant even look at it. Measure twice, cut again, read someone else's 2x4 and rethink everything you've ever known. Measure a third time, cut, and realize you're using the wrong type of wood.

the older i get the more i think there might only be 3 kinds of millennial midlife crisis: Vans Warped Tour, Funkopop, and Making Sous Vide Your Entire Personality

i NEED to know the backstory here

I am here to reveal the truth about pumpkin spice lattes, by way of *deep* archival research (and 3,600 words) snackstack.net/2025/10/21/t...

Last week our local humane society took in 28 cats from a woman who had gotten in over her head with too many litters. They require a lot of care to get them healthy and adoptable - please consider a donation if you can! www.hsccvt.org/donate

Castle Wolfenstein was the big early millennial video game. Average guys his age spent their teen years shooting cartoon Nazis, not identifying with them.

This is all off the record, right?

There’s something highly relatable about that painting on this dismal Wednesday morning.

#OnThisDay in 1815, #Napoleon began his exile on St Helena. With not a lot to do and with the few newspapers he could get mostly in English, he decided to learn the language of his captors. More on Napoleon's "Englich" lessons here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/n... #OTD

this is the most like a mike tyson's punch out guy i have ever seen anyone look

If you're a writer, read outside the genre you write in, and read old stuff. Partly this expands your horizons but mostly it gives you stuff to rip off without anyone noticing.

Every once in a while a group of 10-15 tourists vanish without a trace in the Paris Catacombs and then afterward the Eiffel Tower is a few feet taller

I, the only person with a memory, would like to take this moment to remind you that the person/institution you just reskeeted / quoted / said something nice about has in the past said/done something not aligned with your/our/my current beliefs. Now we can do nothing and believe in nothing. Good day!

sherman, for the love of god!

The famous guitar riff for Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child o' Mine" originated from a "circus melody" warm-up played by guitarist Slash during a 1986 jam session. While Slash played the riff in a joking manner, bandmate Izzy Stradlin recognized its potential, and the band built the song around it.
