TFW some reviews find one of your stories confusing

Some kind words from @slimyswampghost.bsky.social about my upcoming collection Little Visitor & Other Abductions Releasing September 23rd from @oni-press.bsky.social Preorder here: linktr.ee/adamszym

Human Artists! Use one piece to convince people to follow you!

If you’re under 30, you weren’t even born the last time Andrew Cuomo lived here. This is your city. Vote like it.

The wait is finally over! "May Thy Hand Not Slip: Chapter 3" is done and released! It's about how our hero gets down on his luck and finds himself a job. You can download and read it from remmukh.itch.io/may-thy-hand...

Some freak claimed that not having access to people’s out-of-state abortion records meant she couldn’t report them for “child” abuse because she believes a fetus is a person, and the same judge who tried to ban mifepristone agreed. They’re also making the same claim for trans medical care for minors

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

Second of my five chapter illustrations for @possumcreekgames.com upcoming release of Last Train to Bremen by @seaexcursion.itch.io 5 days till the game’s backerkit launches

The new Donkey Kong game looks SO good

At dinner had the pleasure of overhearing the righteous ranting of a Boomer leftist, which is such a good archetype of a person.

If I have to see one more of those idiotic AI videos where a fucking gladiator or samurai talks like a livestreamer to their chat I'm going to go Ernst Toller mode.

Gmail, like all Google products, is such complete trash now. God forbid you try to search your email for an exact phrase. I hope you enjoy being shown an incredibly long email thread that MIGHT contain that phrase, but without actually showing you which email it is! Fucking idiots.

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

This photo. ICE is a gang.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

My daughter just referred to English as “New York language”

I can't tell what's the most fucked up thing here: 1. "My son fell in love with chatGPT, but when his girlfriend got deleted, he became suicidal." 2. "I told the cops that my son was planning to commit suicide by cop, so they came over and shot him." 3. "I wrote my son's obituary using chatGPT."

Finally watching S2 of Severance, and despite really enjoying S1 so far I’m finding this pretty annoying tbh

It is so brutally depressing that unless you go camping or whatever you will probably see at LEAST one AI image every day for the rest of your life.

Alien, Seven Samurai, Blow Up, The Prisoner, I could go on and on. I am cultured because of my Dad. Unfortunately now all he wants to watch is, like, The Equalizer for the 5th time while looking at his iPad.

Everyone, even the folks with the nuclear codes, is entertaining themselves online as the world burns. Posting through it and monitoring the situation until it finally reaches their doorstep and forces them to look up from their phone and log off. www.garbageday.email/p/all-we-hav...

My daughter just came up to me doing this weird serene voice, and asked “What is expected of you?” I laughed and asked, “What do you mean?” And she said, “What is your future?” Way to freak out your unemployed Dad

Patreon is raising the percentage it takes from new creators (again), from 8% to 10%, on August 4. People with existing Patreon pages get grandfathered into the old rate. If you're thinking about making a page, best to do it and publish it now.

I saw a guy at the library who had a Steam Deck and two other similar devices and was switching between them. It had to be at least $3000 worth of hardware. Very strange.

On the new SFUltra, Matt from the excellent Bookpilled channel joins me to discuss Beasts by John Crowley. This really blew us away, especially considering its slight pagecount and reputation.

Happy Mothership Day 👽 Seven years ago today the Mothership Player’s Survival Guide debuted at Origins 2018! We only printed 50 copies and made a single post advertising it on G+ (rip). We sold out that weekend and it’s been an insane ride ever since. Thank you.

The brilliant Brian Evenson on my upcoming collection of horror comics Little Visitor & Other Abductions. I feel very gratified that Brian enjoyed the book. You can preorder it here: linktr.ee/adamszym @oni-press.bsky.social #horror #horrorfiction #horrorcomics #comicbooks

When I worked at a toy store I sold Jake Gyllenhaal a Slip N’ Slide.

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.
