me: i heard you do a terrible owl impression him: where me: holy shit that is bad

Imagine being the neighbor of a serial killer. They say they’re usually quiet and stay to themselves. Sounds pretty amazing

For the @nytimes.com I wrote about how Enough is Enough with the incumbent president and his cabinet of folly and let’s stop coddling Trump voters and be real clear-eyed about what lies ahead. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

This is the play, intimidate critics, try to silence them.

Hey everyone, I really am trying to find a full time journalism/editing/writing/research job. My long-distance partner has had work fall through due to Hollywood not picking up as quickly post strike as thought. We miss each other and I need a way to help support us. Any leads on jobs help.

The budget shortfall for NYC libraries is $58.3 million.

This is frightening.

Books are fucking great. Do you know how amazing a good book is? Books rule. You’ll never make a handful of supplements that’s as good as a grilled cheese sandwich, and you’ll never make a manufactured Consumable Text Unit that’s as good as an ordinary person’s best novella.

But this connects to the whole way a certain kind of person now talks about books, like they are just Consumable Text Units. These are the people who tell you every book could be a blog post. These are the people who can be asked what their favorite book is and they will say “Keto For Closers.”

i need to figure out what extremely important woman left nyc because there ain't no sunshine when she's gone

I'm starting to think that maybe inventing capitalism wasn't our best idea

We got yer arts books here, at a discount

Weird, you mean the 40-60% rise in food prices we've seen in the last 4 years wasn't based on reality or supply chain issues, but rather on pure corporate greed just like everyone already knew? Thank God the government is here to do absolutely Fuck All about it except confirm what we knew already!

another reason to be skeptical when you hear a man say “as a father of daughters…”

Making sure everyone has read Kate Wagner’s absolutely terrific — like a genuinely all-time, Grantland, SBN-in-its-heyday, talk about it 10 years later-style joy to read — F1 article that was mysteriously removed from the Road & Track website shortly after publication web.archive.org/web/20240301...

Maybe don’t screenshot something gross from over there and bring it over here?

When I hear "why don't they just move/why don't [they] just secede" what I hear is "why won't my world get smaller so I feel more comfortable about not even mildly inconveniencing myself in the service of improving someone else's life in even the slightest way"

The racism behind chatGPT we aren't talking about... This year, I learned that students use chatGPT because they believe it helps them sound more respectable. And I learned that it absolutely does not work. A thread. 🧵

Ya know, when you think about it: life is a horror movie, your body is the relentless axe murderer, and you’re the final girl.

I have this print framed in my home. I love it. The thing is, I keep seeing it get ripped off by companies like Shein, Temu, and shitheads on Redbubble. If you love it, as you should, buy it FROM THE ARTIST Danial Ryan. www.etsy.com/listing/6184...

What is this bullshit they're calling "normal" and why on earth would I want to get "back" to it? 🤦

A reminder that if you read one of my books, or a book by any author, please leave a review online somewhere. It's nice. It's also the only thing that keeps us alive. We're like Jason Statham's Chev Chelios in CRANK, except instead of, y'know, meth, it's your precious life-fueling reviews.

As a scientist, I feel it is my duty to make fuckdensity a thing

we had one opportunity to be a rhythm nation and we failed

i wish the Muppets would Take Manhattan again, specifically take it away from Eric Adams

Excuse me, I'll just be crumbling into a pile of dust over here 💀💀💀💀💀

Refaat Alareer who was recently martyred contributed to this volume from Haymarket. To keep him alive through his work & spread his light. www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1885-l...

About 2600 away now. If you join my Patreon at the $7 level or above in the next month, you'll be getting a new novel before release, too! Please share, I'd like to stay in my new country, thank you 😊

Thank you for this, @chuckwendig.bsky.social. Needed to read it.

The VC media playbook really seems to be: *Buy a struggling legacy media brand *Fire most of the reporters, strip it for parts *Expect to get similar pageview numbers even though you're doing little to no journalism now *Maybe ChatGPT can write us some free articles? *Shit somebody saw us

It’s incredibly dangerous how the richest man in the world — deluded by paranoia, narcissism, and far-right conspiracies — can get arms of the state to go after his perceived enemies instead of holding him to account as they should be doing.

Your occasional reminder that Ken Paxton has been under indictment for fraud, and has managed to prevent his case from coming to trial, since the Obama administration.

in case you've never seen it, here is the original reddit thread where a dude posts looking for legal advice bc he thinks his landlord is breaking in and leaving post it notes everywhere, and someone in the comments saves his life by correctly diagnosing him with carbon monoxide poisoning

WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA—

You should stay up and read more internet. You’re just getting to the good part

 this man is a menace with delusions of grandeur. How are you gonna get on the Internet and say you've been in contact with a family that has no idea who you are?? That's bananas
