Google Docs autosuggestions are really unhelpful when writing Warhammer. No, Google, I really did mean to write "betwixt".

Under my regime, the tech industry must have all new technologies approved by a citizen jury who assess 1) what problem the tech is attempting to address and 2) whether it actually addresses it

LOL wasnt AI supposed to be used to save money? It takes more time, more money, more enviro effects, more ethical problems, ... all for an ad that everyone hates?

Wikipedia getting rid of their mobile subdomain, m dot wikipedia dot org, has been so long coming I thought they would never do it. It’s the “renaming Nakama” of Wikipedia

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

this sentence alone, my goodness

If a politician: -Has never cared at all about whales before; -Is in the pocket of big oil, an industry which has a financial incentive to oppose alternative energy; and -is a well-documented liar, You don't have to take their "we have to stop offshore wind to save whales" claims seriously.

Wrote a really messed up scene. You guys are gonna like it. Sorry you’ll probably have to wait until 2027 to see it!

One last book purchase before Christmas.

Still immensely proud of my second short story's publication in Death and Duty. Physical copies are on sale now!

'the economy' is people burning through slabs of glass and silicon at an absurd rate even though they don't need or want to

This is why there’s moralizing in my fiction. I’m not sorry & it won’t change. It’s there because there are bad people, and when they read my stories, I don’t want it to be possible for them to imagine themselves as my story’s hero. ”I know writers who use subtext, and they’re all cowards.“

"She does not own a car." In a way, this is actually quite funny, but mostly, the people who write this stuff would go apoplectic if anyone judged their life the way they judged other people's.

These articles always depend on a bizarre Schroedinger's Seattle: The city is falling apart due to progressive overreach but we should have re-elected the conservative non-socialist who has been in charge for the last four years.

Today Jay looks at the Cult Mechanicus eShort story collection for 2025, featuring Jonathan D. Beer, Stark Holborn, Tom R. Pike, Mark Barber, and Avalon Irons.

the most concise label I can think for this kind of ai art tell is "Details Without Intent". If a human artists is adding details, it costs them time to do so, and so you can bet your ass they will only do so with Intent. Details Without Intent are an AI art slop thing.

My derelict spaceship boarding action short story, “Dream of the Locust”, is in No Peace Among Stars, a paperback/ebook 40k anthology. Its print run is limited, and there likely will not be reprints. Online print orders are sold out, so B&N is your best bet. www.blacklibrary.com/prod-home/ne...

My 2nd short is available from The Black Library in the "Death and Duty" anthology! I am super grateful and thankful for this opportunity! This is available for e-readers and audiobooks! The paperbacks are all sold out online so you'll have to hunt for them in stores if you wanna grab one!

The anthology that includes my Warhammer 40k short story about tankists, "Worm of Valhalla", is finally out - not just for pre-order! The audiobook version is also fun because you get to find out which of the characters are Scottish. www.amazon.com/Death-Duty-A...

All of the Warhammer stories I've written! When I wandered into my local Games Workshop store as a kid more than 20 years ago I'd never have believed I'd get the chance to do this! It's so fun & there's just as much wonder in the great, grimdark world of Warhammer as when I first encountered it 🖤

I have to be honest. I’m deeply disappointed that I have not once seen a Huell meme about this trial. So many missed opportunities.

I don't love that I live in a society where an issue as important as indoor air quality, and a solution as commonly suggested as houseplants, have seen essentially no high quality research. With indoor CO2, we appear to have completely given up without even trying.

Zohran Mamdani has won, & will be the next mayor of NYC.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Sergeant Aisha Itoh is about to have a total chitin-ightmare in my #warhammer40k Sentinel short story ‘Blood Sands’ - in print for the first time! You also get: 💀Blood 💀Sands 💀Sentinels 💀Astra Militarum Messenger Pigeon cameo ...& 11 other stories from fab folk! www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/p...

Reluctant soldiers pining for the agrarian life is one of my favorite tropes, can’t wait to read this.

Black Library also just released another anthology, "No Peace Among Stars", which republishes my story "Dream of the Locust", a run-and-gun spaceship boarding action / philosophical debate between cyborgs and space orks. It'll be out in paperback and ebook. www.amazon.com/Peace-Among-...

Black Library's new anthology "Death and Duty" closes with my new short story, "Worm of Valhalla", which is about a reluctant tank commander who'd rather be growing tomatoes. You can preorder paperback and ebook, and an audiobook will be out in about a month. www.amazon.com/Death-Duty-W...

Remember in 1996 when destroying the White House was generally considered to be a bad thing

In which I wrote an entire page about the handling of Imperial citizens' poop, and got paid to do it. I have a strange job. Fun, though, sometimes.

When I was making Personal Space, I requested footage from the Reagan Library. I explained my intention to misleadingly edit the Reagan footage so it sounded like he said humans had landed on Mars. They had to let me do this. That’s what “public domain” means. www.axios.com/2025/10/24/c...

Called my dad today to tell him he was right 30 years ago to not let me rent Temple of Doom

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

my semi regular reminder to all of us who love to cite Mr Roger’s “look for the helpers” in times of stress like when folks are being abducted by secret police that that was advice for children to feel safe in times of crisis or need or fear YOU are not the looker now YOU are the helper

“The Compromise” was first drafted in a series of voice memos I dictated while canvassing, in the gaps between houses. It is about the conversations you have while trying to change the world, and what it really takes to defeat fascists.

another way to say this: fascism isn't about rules people follow, it's about categories people are in if you're in the right category nothing you do is bad if you you're in the wrong category nothing you do is good it's not about what you do, it's about who you are

You can save yourself so much time and money by deciding you like the color of primer.

I hated working in digital marketing, but at least I’ll always be blessed by the memory of the PowerPoint I saw from Fox’s marketing team that predicted that their 2015 film Fantfourstic would make a billion dollars

I'm harnessing the unprecedented power of AI to forget how to read and develop a severe mental illness that makes me unrecognizable to those who once knew me.

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

This review of "Isolate" came out back in April, before I was on Bluesky: "Although the empire is clearly an authoritarian one, the relationship between its representatives and the locals is more complex than simply that of oppressor and oppressed..." tangentonline.com/print-bi-mon...

I love this review of “Isolate” by @acwise.bsky.social for @locusmag.bsky.social: “Histories and cultures can just as effectively be erased and suppressed through policy and education as through war and violence.” locusmag.com/2025/09/anal...

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but we don’t need to fight fairly against fascism. We just need to fight.

This isn’t my first rodeo. It’s my second but I didn’t really pay attention the first time. So how does this work, we’re kicking the horses?

Yes! If people didnt share their weird fun shit when things are terrible then we would never get to see it, and that wouldn't make anything less terrible.

People who use AI think that they’re skipping to the success when they’re skipping to the failure. You begin and end your life as someone who has not written the novel, you did not teach yourself to express what was inside of you, you died without making something that no one else could make.

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

Imagine going into a bookstore and purchasing a book and being told that it can only be read in an authorized cafe. And when the cafe owners fail to maintain it and the the paint is peeling and the lights are flickering--too bad. When they finally go out of business, the book is unreadable.
