What Democrats really need if they want to win in 2028 is an antisemitic AI bot of the left

Is anyone publishing serialized/long-form fiction on #Substack? It's something I'm considering and would love to see how others are doing it.

RIP New York. An unsafe hellhole.

If I were a New Yorker, I would be terrified knowing that Andrew Cuomo is free to roam the streets, rather than locked up securely in the Mayor's Office where we can keep a close eye on him.

Prayers for NYC 🙏 lock your nursing home doors tn

Waiting to see if your offer on a house got accepted is wild.

Never have I been more conflicted about someone being willing to take my life savings.

Who's writing the funniest, weirdest fiction today? I want set-ups to jokes that don't pay off for 200 pages, absurd plots, completely irreverent shit (sure, with some lessons thrown in too, I guess).

IOW, who is the Joseph Heller of 2025?

four ways to use Scrivener for all your writing projects 4 practical ideas for everything from articles and nonfiction manuscripts to a poetry collection, plus a bonus strategy for reducing writing anxiety

Scrivener is probably my most often used tool that I feel like I barely scratch the surface of.

What's your favorite feature?

I personally love split-screen, especially when writing a chapter with a lot of references to an earlier one.

Sirens of Titan book cover

What's your favorite Vonnegut novel??? I'm reading The Sirens of Titan rn and it's reminding me how much I love him. Where should I go next? The whackier the better.

If all goes well!

Simultaneously trying to buy a house in Mass and get representation for my novel.

IOW, I'm trying out to be the poster boy for Masochism. Lmk if I make the cut.

Any suggestions for #RomComs that err toward irreverent and goofy #humor rather than cutesy?

Extra points for magical realism or low fantasy

"Margaret didn’t know who moved in quicker, leaned further in, how long it lasted, whether the shame was instantaneous or if that came later. All she knew is that one moment their lips were separate and then they were together, and he tasted like a fond memory."

The Male Loneliness Epidemic comes for another pair of besties :'(

Thoughts go out to Elon and Trump

No "Walk Hard" is a disgrace

Seems like this is getting mixed reviews, but I enjoyed it as a very in-your-face satire.

Not the most high concept plot or anything, but I thought the simplicity of the concept and story let the absurdity of the kind of people being parodied shine.

every CEO of a failing business on an earnings call before they fire everyone because "AI can do it"

My dad died in Feb, so would someone mind listening to the Carrie & Lowell reissue for me and telling me if Sufjan made it happy this time before I give it a listen?

I bet this was why he re-released (was too sad before 😔) but don't want to chance it.

I've given presumably a shot, but I think I'll need a few more years before I'm ready to try putatively.

I don't know how I got by before knowing the word "ostensibly".

What would I drop into the middle of a sentence to sound thoughtful and intelligent???

"Apparently"??

Give me a fucking break.

"She wanted his embrace more than she’d ever wanted anything. She wanted those endless limbs to bind themselves in knots around her. She wanted to be absorbed into him by osmosis, to feel his hot breath on her neck, his teeth in her skin."

Without question the very worst thing about generative AI is that it has turned people against em dashes. Many associate the beautiful — with trash AI-generated content.

The future grows bleaker by the day.

Reading Careless People is like when you're on the train and someone on the phone starts loudly shit talking all their coworkers.

You know that they're leaving a ton out to make themselves sound better, but, man, it still makes for good eavesdropping.

When they come up and down the aisles at baseball games yelling "HOT DOG" are they offering or requesting?

Writing a novel is similar to making pulled pork, in that it feels really really tough (drafting) and then eventually falls apart (querying).

More food/drinks should be like cold brew. You just put a dry in a wet and let it sit until it tastes good.

Anyone who mentions overnight oats will be blocked.

How much time do you #amquerying authors spend on promotion activities (i.e. social) vs querying vs working on other stories/etc.?

For me, it's prob:
Promotion: 10%
Querying: 40%
Additional Submissions: 30%
Bonus: Tinkering w/ manuscript: 20%

At which Dunks is the food only a little bit wet? Would love the address

The clearest sign that I'm in the waning days of my twenties is how excited I am to discover all the different uses of cabbage. Truly an incredible vegetable. A real stand-out. Can't wait to carry this knowledge into the next decade of life.

I'm hopeful that the future of shitposting is dumping thousands of leaflets over a city from airplanes like WW2 propaganda

I think that when there's a penalty in hockey, instead of the fouling team losing one player for two minutes, the team that got fouled should be allowed to put every player on the ice at once for 15 seconds

What inspires you most when you're in a writing rut? For me, reading a good book always helps, but honestly listening to music I love is even better. Some that tend to do the trick for me are:
—David Berman
—Mitski
—Radiohead
—Saba
—Talking Heads

Hbu?
