This is mine and @jasonfranks.com’s creation, @techbrobot.bsky.social. Using a dataset of authentic garbage spewed out by techlords, he’s programmed to spit out his nonsense in response to what trends on Bluesky. Like Elon, but he won’t fire your brother or deny your community life-saving aid.

Avast, ye lubbers: I have a story in this pirate anthology, set in my Faerie Apocalypse universe--so you know it's unhinged. Plenty of amazing work by a killer crew of bloodthirsty knaves. If that sounds cool to you, please click on through. Screw the oligarchs--support indie books!

This was a fantastic indie horror book full of heart and beautiful, rendered in Hayden's beautiful and mad ink-wash style. You should order one.

The right slasher for our times. THE MATRON, a new horror comic created and written by Drew Edward and me, illustrated by @monicacomics.bsky.social, and published by @ipicomics.bsky.social. Special pre-order campaign begins this Saturday!

Their mission: to seek out new life--and eat it.

How long until Halloween again? Cause I'm fucking ready for Halloween.

Elon Musk is about as punk as a pocket protector: my latest in the @theguardian.com comes from such a sincere place of loathing that they even let me keep the swears in. theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Well, looks like there's still time to squeeze in one more funeral before New Year's. This is the fourth death of a friend or relative this year.

Santa came early this year and he brought me... the flu. Yeah.
