Watching the Iris Affair tonight. I didn't know about space voids. They are both the most exciting and terrifying thing I've ever heard about space.

Daaaaaang, thats a pretty book!

Woke=Working On Knowing Everybody

As a Muslim who has been accused of dual loyalty and asked to denounce everything from ISIS to the Iranian state, I breathed a sigh of relief that I think I’d been holding in for like two decades watching this.

found an NYC Teamster whose tiktoks are just skate tricks he dedicates to other unions.

Please share, far and wide - my home town is in trouble again. 😔

@booksbytwaddle.bsky.social Hello. An agent at Spencer Hill has put me in the "maybe" pile and suggested I resubmit. I loved your MSWL, but Should I self-reject due to the fallen angels and amnesic detective MC...??? There are so many other elements I know you'd enjoy...🤔

Tearing through MAZYWOOD, the excellent new novel by @tananarivedue.bsky.social. Come celebrate her book launch with me @strandbooks.com on SEPT 22 at 7PM. Tri-state, let’s pack the house and make this evening a blast. Link below to reserve a spot. www.eventbrite.com/e/tananarive...

@victorlavalle.bsky.social came across a new season of The Terror. Thought, why not? Then the title hit me... I remember this... Is this not... Then your name materialised in the opening credits! Kudos to you, sir. And it just so happens, three of my favourite actors are in there. Congratulations!

Extraordinary new MARLA review from Ricky Serrano and @comicsbeat.bsky.social. About Marla, he writes, “She becomes a towering presence that’s felt all throughout the book, akin to Dracula in Bram Stoker’s classic.” Read the rest here: www.comicsbeat.com/horror-beat-...

@adamcesare.bsky.social I'm not quite done yet, but, bravo. Clown In a Cornfield, Bravo!! You remind me of this guy with your subversions! @michaelmarshallsmith.substack.com.web.brid.gy Looking forward to watching the movie. (By the way, I know I'm late to the party, but I just love this book 🤷)

Artist Simon Bull’s Painting Techniques I wasn't really feeling that first one, but man did the rest shut me up quick 😲 IG: @simonbullart

I won't say how my night is going, but I just said TO MYSELF. "I can't be bothered with a new movie. I'm gonna Marx some Watchbrothers!". I was triumphant in my decision, too...🥸

Best answer I’ve ever read to “It’s Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve” is “It’s the Bible, not the Straightble.” Gonna use it every chance I get.

I suspect this might be the best photo I ever take

Our forlorn doorstop...

Anyone who hasn't seen Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice, do yourselves a favour. The Wonderwall scene choked me up...🤷

Sitting up, way too late, watching Singing In The Rain. The "Good Mornin' scene. Imagine doing a full tap routine every time you had a great idea that turned out to be shit.

Is there a word in German where you get to exactly where you want on a streaming service, then accidentally hit the home button...?

Next work Karaoke, I'm Def singing Closer by NIN by way of handing in my notice.

I like to share this picture every now and again, of the most recession beating business model I've ever seen!

Bouncer said this to me, last time I went clubbing...

@keithrosson.bsky.social voice box...

Being subjected to GB News while at the in-laws...their spelling is as accurate as their reporting...

Damn. RIP to Tim Sandlin, who wrote the funniest trilogy ever: Skipped Parts, Sorrow Floats, and Social Blunders. Read him in my twenties alongside people like Daryl Spencer, Michael Doane, Willaim T. Vollman and Kirsten Bakis, he opened my mind to what fiction could DO during a way formative time.

Watching Scream (2022) for the first time. Is it bad that I thought, "Well, if Ghostface pins him to the door, and lets it swing open, he can see his dead mother in the driveway?

@paultremblay.bsky.social glad you enjoyed my island!

Can't not read this in a Boston accent...

As a huge fan of snl, I was dubious about the UK version, but my doubts have been assuaged. It might be, partly, because I'm from the same place as the host, but the skits about Prince Andrew and themed pubs were like SNL transplanted for a UK/Ireland aud. Likely curated for both, but here for it! 🎉

@keithrosson.bsky.social just got to the bedroom scene in Coffin Moon. I need a minute...

Spoonie here is spot-on.

Amazing read, @manylittlewords.bsky.social - signed copy and all!

I’ve been writing for 30 years. Earlier today, I sent @cgolden.bsky.social my latest story. He said it was one of the best things he’s ever read by me. I needed to hear that. Whether you’re a wide-eyes newbie or a jaded veteran, occasional accolades from a peer make this writer journey much easier.

Very much so. Fuck "Write every day." Live every day, write when you can.

You're a sneaky bastard, @briankeene.bsky.social. I now want to re-read many of your tales after finishing Labyrinth - book 3, with my newfound knowledge. I also need to read Kill Whitey for the first time. I'm wise to your manipulations, Keene... though, that isn't to say they haven't worked...🧐
