It’s a big day for fans of baseball, or as the rest of the world calls it, “American Cricket”

I entirely forgot that I made this anti-ASMR video (Sound warning headphones users)

Please kill me

The owl is an important symbol for Leeds, appearing on its coat of arms and prominently elsewhere. Here is an information sheet we give out to people who want to respond to it with visual creativity.

My military-SF, space crew book, Special Delivery, is 0.99 all week.

I'm told it's not like my other books, & it is grittier & bloodier. But it is also a right laugh in parts, with a found family that bonds under duress.

Plus, it's 0.99. That's really the main thing.

Wanna stimulate the fuck out of the economy?
Pay beneficiaries, pensioners and the working poor/class more. Pay them a living wage, no strings attached & give it a year….. Trickle up is the only way forward.

Experts predict that by 2026, 100% of US government spending will go towards the construction of visual metaphors for the US government

I finished a book today! THE RISE: Tales From The Gulp 3 is away to the editor. Looking at an end of February 2026 release. Might have a little dram of the good stuff tonight to celebrate.

My latest collection still isn't spruiking itself, so I must needs attend to the spruikage myself.

Here are three short pieces that are in 'I Have No Legs And I Must Manspread'. They don't fully circumscribe the book's story space, but if you like these, you may not hate the book.

Updating my LEGO White House

Every few years I'm like "I should buy some LEGO sets". And honestly I could afford them but it's like...what the hell? I could either build Helms Deep out of plastic, or buy a PS5.

This is, by far, my favourite ever song about playing Mortal Kombat 2. #music #gaming #mortalkombat youtu.be/--esOXdLG3U?...

No worries :) Big congrats again for the win :)

The Instagram account Saint featured me. The first slide says: "Derek Guy - Dieworkwear. Derek Guy is a menswear writer who has written for The New York Times, Esquire, and Mr. Porter. He also runs a menswear blog called Die, Workwear"

One of the slides showing my favorite products. It's it's a big bag of Hagen pigeon food. The food is fortified with the vitamins and nutrients pigeons need.

Instagram user writes: "Why tf do i need pigeon food for my outfit." I replied: "this is what i can afford to eat after spending all my money on clothes ::sad face::"

thinking about the time a cool Instagram fashion account asked me to name my favorite products and i didn't know i was supposed to name fashion products, so i said pigeon food because i like feeding pigeons and their followers were like "why the fuck do i need pigeon food for my outfit?"

Cover of Max Barry's book Machine Man.

I started reading @maxbarry.com's novel Machine Man, and it's a hell of a lot of fun. It's funny and horrifying in equal measure! #books #writing #scifi #sciencefiction

If there has been, none of the botshrapnel hit my account.

We should defund the millinery

Seen an ambulance pulling up to the hospital..i hope the doctors are ok

Not very unhinged, but: Stop reading a book if you're bouncing off of it. Stop "powering through." You're just wasting your time. You don't get a gold star for finishing books you're not enjoying reading.

“I will misinterpret science fiction, make it my entire personality, and then impose my stupid version on the poor.”

FB post about a lost dog. Dog is reported playing with another dog at a local park. Three pictures of the 'dog' show it to be a wild fox.

Today in 'That isn't a dog', Melbourne Edition. Seen on my local FB group. #dogsofbluesky #dogs #wildlife

Pro-science, pro-hope, pro-humanity.

Genuinely shocked and amazed to have won the award for Best Scenario for Resort at the Australian Industry Roleplaying Awards.

I am truly grateful to all the playtesters, my friend @johnnylogmar.bsky.social, the fine folks @chaosium.bsky.social and the TTRPG community for their support. 🙏

Cory Doctorow off the long run-up with quality AI analysis: “So, you're saying a third of the stock market is tied up in seven AI companies that have no way to become profitable and that this is a bubble that's going to burst and take the whole economy with it?" pluralistic.net/2025/09/27/e...

Thanks for another fun and inspiring con, and big congrats on the Ditmar hat-trick :)
