I don't think people realise how hard Why Everything Stopped Working (2026, penguin random house, I'm writing a book) is going to go. It will make some people very upset, but it's necessary to tell you who made everything stop working and why. My editor is as radicalised as I am. She's incredible.

explaining the year 2025 to the first guy i see after arriving in 1985: ...yeah and in the future if you wanna smoke weed you can just push the button on this apparatus 1985 guy: wait back up what was that about the coup? me: *coughing my lungs out for a solid 90sec after hitting a blinker* what?

I am extremely freaking thrilled to announce that Bad Company is *officially* available for preorder wherever you buy books. (I am linking to Bookshop but buy it wherever!) I worked so, so hard on this book, and it would mean a ton to me if you ordered it. bookshop.org/a/109816/978...

i hope it’s clear that big tech is not an ally. it only was as much as it was profitable. textboon rainbow capitalism, and now when they saw the writing on the wall, they flopped back into fascisms arms

KRABBY PATTY: PREPARED This is the tallest burger I've ever made in my life

Oh man, I have so many stories about that "startup". The founder Marshall Webb spent a year harassing me because I posted a research paper on the Mirai botnet (he considered himself to be the sole authority). It later turned out his knowledge came from him personally hosting their infrastructure 1/5
