There’s Probably No Life on K2-18b After All, Three Studies Conclude In April, astronomers said they had detected a possible signature of life on the exoplanet K2-18b. Now, three independent analyses discount the evidence.

Here's my follow-up story on K2-18b, the distant planet where scientists claimed to see a possible sign of life last month. In three preprints, other researcher argue that the signal is noise. nyti.ms/4jaqQRv

Speed 2 ruined any chance of a Final Destination disaster set on a cruise.

No, I didn't just play Balatro on the Steam Deck until two in the goddamn morning, I swear.

That moment when your wife is playing Phasmophobia for the first time and screams at a ghost child that popped up beside her in a haunted school during a thunderstorm.

Scream 7.
Looks like Kevin Williamson may be doing the Cult of Ghostface he didn't get to do for Scream 3.

Using AI isn't being creative. It's literally theft.

I don't understand why people can't just let people *live* without making life harder for them. We should be helping others, not discriminating against them.

@noraloveshobs.bsky.social Hi! What do you like to read?

"I kick ass for the Lord!"

Watching Dead Alive for the first time.

The hack-n-slash edit for Puppy is finished. There's still some work to be completed on it, but the hardest part (other than writing it) is done. Just one more story in No Saints, Only Sinners remains to edit, and it's a beast too: The Scourge.

The book's coming next year.

That moment when, as a horror author, you realize you need to find someone to help you create merch.

I don't believe writer's block exists for me. There's always something in the tank. Sometimes I'll step away because I don't like something and, after a day or two, I'll have a better idea and continue. The first version might have worked, but the new alternate is usually better.

Oh, the fever dream hallucinations...

Wait. This movie predicted the 2020 Tokyo Olympics?!?!

Watching Akira for the first time.
"Holy shit, this takes place five years ago!"

I did what the Empire has failed to do for the entire #Skywalker Saga: I killed #r2d2 while dusting over the weekend. #gravityisnotyourfriend #starwars #lego

I went to my first open mic in over six years tonight.

Woke up with a migraine. Immediately texted my manager and went back to bed.

I can't.
I just can't.

Florida, US!

I literally felt ill last night and when I got up this morning. I don't know if it was anxiety or something I ate, but I took a sick day and just focused on mental well-being. I'll get back to editing after today.

Writing, writing, writing.
Ah, obligatory word count updates!

Day 1 on this platform, and @thedevil.bsky.social is already following me. I find that oddly appropriate.
