Only a week to go! Everybody grab your life vests 😈

My first work of historical fiction! (It's set in 2020)

A reminder that gas is not a vital industry to Australia. As Polly Hemming explains, if anything, it costs the Australian economy. Join the call for a national plebiscite: https://gas-plebiscite.australiainstitute.org.au

November is always a good month for thrillers and this year there 3 very good ones from @jackheathwriter.bsky.social @linwoodbarclay.bsky.social #SimonKernick to get stuck into before Xmas. murdermayhemandlongdogs.com/late-2026-th...

I was thinking the other day about why small businesses love AI marketing so much despite how fucking repulsive it makes their products look, and I think it's just a testament to how the feeling of convenience, effortlessness and speed is more powerful than anything, even standard self-interest

When optimising is suboptimal: a thread

the lesson i’ve learned today is that there are some dope ass Lego sets

So, so, SO good 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

"I can’t discount the possibility that the work I so appreciated him for ... is also what ended up killing him."

It’s horrifying that it’s taken me till my *fifties* to reprogram a lot of the conditioned shit in my head that this lovely woman discusses here (and I’m *still* reprogramming!) 😡

Pretty good system. Might steal.👏🏻

YES. News editors, read this whole thread, PLEASE

But also Mr. Darcy's initial reaction to Mr. Bingley's interest in Jane being "bro you know you're gonna end up supporting her mom, right" makes A LOT more sense too, I mean FAIR ENOUGH, my man.

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

Hey you, yes you! Buy my book!

I actually used to go steady with Sonic the Hedgehog, back in high school. None of us really thought he was ever going to make it in show business. Even the teachers thought he was kind of smug. So every time I see him on t-shirts and ice cream bars and stuff I don't know what to think.

It's finally here! Are you ready to join us in kicking off #BannedBooksWeek?! This year's event is too big for just one piece of art, so we have THREE! #LetBooksBe bannedbooksweek.org

None of my books has ever been banned, because I've never written anything important (I'll have to wait for #pannedbooksweek). But I've been lucky enough to *read* some very controversial books—some good, some bad, some ugly. I think everyone should have that right. ✊🏻

Whenever I'm feeling a bit bummed or burned out I re-read this amazing book, for what that's worth 👍🏻

Babe 😭 (Genuinely, read this right now. It's excellent.)

Most TV is just this now.

Can't believe he dropped the ball like that

you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building and no one gives a shit you changed those batteries but it is still very important and why are you waiting on a burning building, know what i’m saying, it’s a metaphor
