Dispatches from NYCC: I love all cosplayers EXCEPT Jared Leto Joker. If you dress as Jared Leto Joker I am forced to assume you are unpleasant as a person.

On my way to NYCC today! Here’s where you can find me!

I had to look up who Lee Greenwood was and here's the first thing that popped up:

"Greenwood is married to former Miss Tennessee USA Kimberly Payne, his fourth wife but fifth marriage, who is 25 years his junior."

So, that tracks.

You heard the man.

Also, pay authors.

The fuck.

Watching the Halo show with my wife: “His name is Master Chief? That’s like Chef Daddy. That’s too many honorifics.”

Where I'll be at NYCC + some updates See you at the Javits, the worst place in New York!

Here's where I'll be at NYCC! Plus some other stuff!

HOT

"It is not clear that Mr. Trump’s image can be featured on a coin. An 1866 law enshrined a tradition that only deceased people could appear on U.S. currency..." is some pro-level hedging. Just say it's against the fuckin law you goon!

"It's not clear if he can break the law."

Fuckin c'mon!

The HALO tv show is on Netflix and it’s dumb but also I love it.

Also I just finished the first draft of a whole-ass book.

Time to get drunk.

Most days I love writing, except for when I don't, which is, sadly, also most days.

It took me a moment to remember that! (But, in fairness, Ginny was a drag queen crime lord, not trans)

Elon Musk Leads Campaign To Force Netflix To Remove Shows With Trans Characters Musk's posts have been seen by tens of millions of users, and many conservatives are now attempting to force Netflix into a removal of LGBTQ+ content.

THE PARADOX HOTEL features a trans character as does the next Assassins novel THREE HITMEN AND A BABY and I will keep on writing trans characters and Elon Musk should fuck off into the sun.

Put it back, that table is wobbly now!

Flu and COVID vaccine time! Because I trust scientists, not brain worm-addled dopes. Get those vaccines, folks. ‘Tis the season.

Judge in Anthropic copyright case preliminarily approves $1.5 billion settlement with authors The lawsuit alleged that the AI startup illegally downloaded material from pirated databases.

This is great, but, fellow authors, check your copyright status. Even if your book was stolen and fed into the maw you may not be eligible for payment if your publisher didn’t file the copyright. Polis authors in particular. The US copyright office has a search function!

I appreciate that! There is (shh don't tell anyone) some movement on the TV front there so fingers crossed there might be some fun news to share about Ash soon...

Deep cut!

I just treat every book like a therapy session.

Maybe the rapture happened but all of us suck so no one gets to go to heaven.

As happy as I am that he will not get a second term, there is a small part of me that will miss his sheer insanity.

White House outlines TikTok deal that would give US control of algorithm The White House said a deal could be signed "in the coming days", but Beijing is yet to comment.

About to see a whole lot more Yellowstone clips and Charlie Kirk memorials on the clock app.

I guess the Rapture is supposed to happen this week and if so great, if that means a whole lot of righteous motherfuckers suddenly disappear and we finally get this place to ourselves, I’m in. Team Rapture. Let’s go!

Sometimes the universe provides.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

This is how it works in Portland, OR, and it always weirds me out. Bars are supposed to be a free-for-all. Only the strong survive.

Reviewing copyedits for THREE HITMEN AND A BABY and... I cannot wait for people to read this. This is a fun one.

We're leaving the end of October I still have time to post!

one of the clearest signs you're dealing with a strong and principled political movement is when they want to make it illegal to make fun of them

This was fun!

WEDNESDAY!
