Don't tell me what to skeet. Don't tell me what not to skeet. Read my skeets before replying to them. Reply to the skeet as written, not to the imaginary other person who wrote some other skeet in your mind that made you mad at someone who is not me.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture and two hours and twelve minutes of film leader counting down from 7920.

Sorry to hear of this--I met him once when I was a child! Also, his memoir WARPED FACTORS: A NEUROTIC'S GUIDE TO THE UNIVERSE is secretly the best of the Trek biographies.

The best part of that "animal-lover" is just a straightforward social fact that requires no real consideration...and Mayer couldn't even come up with that on her own.

"invoke the Factory," the name all of us real Cakeheads know it by. "We clocking in for a shift tonight, fellas?" is how I ask my bros to go down to the Factory with me.

Bad Art response to bad art

Author Ryu Murakami, whose edgy works explored sex, violence, and youth culture, has died, his publisher said Friday. He was 74.

Highly recommended! (Which goes for everything Lane wrote.)

This is some serious union-busting BS

I don't even play video games and I am touched by all the people lamenting the end of Bioware.

BREAKING: Electronic Arts is cutting 400 jobs and shutting down BioWare, the legendary development studio behind Dragon Age and Mass Effect. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

Years ago, I worked acquired and edited a book at @beaconpress.bsky.social on this topic. It's amazing to see these projects come on line and work so successfully. I hope the momentum is there to keep them going despite... everything.

Been at this for 25 years, and today is the first time I signed contracts for two short stories in one day, and I was also solicited for two more short stories this evening.

Dear Claude please suggest some online side hustles (easy) I can do to get myself out of debt ($80,000,000,000) no nudity feet OK

The Pirate Princess getting around visa issues by performing in international waters is so fittingly perfect

Okay, ya'll. The Apex Magazine Kickstarter still needs another $8,637 to fund 2027 and we only have 10 days to go. I'm starting to get STRESSED! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ape...

I tend to exhale when someone snaps my picture.

DARKEST DEPTHS, a crowdfunded graphic anthology and tribute to the late @tgrant.bsky.social, is now available to the general public via @crystallake.bsky.social. Amazon link is thier affiliate (I think!). My story "Prisoner's Cinema" was drawn by E. V. Cantada and lettered by Micah Myers.

Ann was one of the kindest colleagues I have ever known: encouraging, genuine, secure in her own work and self. She was one of my champions at WaPo, and she knew the score there. Ann never hoarded information or opportunity—quite the opposite. She knew there was always room for more of us. 💔

What that tells me is that there's a certain 'quality bar' you have to be above to be 'in the game' so to speak.

This future cannot come to pass. I must time-travel to Warwick in 1995 and kill all the drug dealers.

We knooooow!
