Stop hitting me with that giant feather.

I hope all the journalists who have kept quiet about Trump’s dementia now understand that they are not doing themselves any favors.

Tell the truth for your own sake.

Just luck I think. Haven’t done much promo lately.

The most surprising scene in the Melania movie is when she brutally stabs Billy Batts for telling her to go get her shoeshine box.

The cover of MORTEDANT's PERIL, two towers with flames and crows in between. It does involve flames, towers and crows. But not hobbits so don't be misled by references to two towers.

ARCs of MORTEDANT's PERIL are moving out in the world and it's always a weird feeling; 'what are readers thinking?' Sadly, it's frowned on in publishing to hire a PI to track them down, kidnap them and bring them to a warehouse for questioning. Which, for the author, is very frustrating.

A promo image showing all four books from the Cruel Gods series including The Thirteenth Hour, The Children of Chaos, The End of Time, and Tales From Across the Domains, the short story collection. Text on the banner says: The Cruel Gods trilogy - Now on Itch.io! Fantasy of bad manners, tea, top hats and naughty words.

To celebrate leaving Kindle Unlimited (and also my birthday!), all of my Cruel Gods books are now on Itch.io, and for this weekend only, they're part of an Itch bundle! Get all four books with a 35% discount!

If you hate buying books on Amazon, this is for you:

friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

Don't be a fan of politicians. Don't. Do. Not.

Be ready to turn on them if they even think of stepping out of line. You know how corporations aren't our friend? Well, voters aren't THEIR friends.

We are angry, feral, and tired.

Oh you "wrote" a book that's cute where's my fucking health care

It’s a tall order, alright.

I hear some give him short shrift.

Remember, children, hate-watching is just as good as any other viewing statistics to streaming companies.

Just wait for 3rd party clips of the AI show, don’t watch out of morbid curiosity. Love and hate are identical to internet companies, indifference is what they fear

Cake with a file in it didn’t work, then?

There’s a reason why people think little of him.

If you work at DHS and know the identities of the CBP officers that murdered Alex Pretti, my Signal contact info is in my bio. I’ll keep you anonymous.

Just offer him $50k in cash and he’ll go away.

Hannah Arendt did not mince words, did she?

'Totalitarianism replaces all first-rate talents with crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.'

From "The Origins of Totalitarianism" (1951)

Never stop talking about the Epstein Files, a criminal rapist dictator who is guilty AF is currently hiding them.

In the last days, there has been an unprecedented attack targeting investigative journalists trying to seize their Signal accounts. This has gone largely unreported. I have been repeatedly targeted by phishing, and I learned that also colleagues from other outlets were targeted, with the attackers unfortunately managing to compromise at least one colleague’s account. What’s worrying: this doesn’t seem like an isolated case. A broader wave is apparently hitting journalists (and some civil society actors) via Signal. How it works: Attackers message you on Signal pretending to be “Signal Support,” warning about “suspicious activity,” and urging you to “re-verify” your account. Once you accept the chat, you receive a real Signal SMS verification code, because the attacker is actively trying to register your number on a new device. If you share that code, you’re handing them the keys. Signal’s extra protection is the Signal PIN. If an attacker also tricks you into giving up your PIN (or you don’t have strong protections enabled), they can see your contacts and networks, potentially join chats going forward, and lock you out by changing settings. Quick protections worth doing today: - Signal will never contact you via a two-way in-app support chat. Treat those messages as hostile. - Never share SMS codes, Signal PIN, or anything called “registration lock.” - Turn on Registration Lock (Settings → Account → Registration Lock). - If you see a “safety number changed” alert: verify the person via a different channel (call/video), not just Signal text. - Report + block suspicious requests, and review linked devices. If you work with sensitive sources: this isn’t just about losing an account, it’s about exposing networks. Please share this with colleagues who rely on Signal day-to-day.

WARNING, fellow journalists: As @nicoschmidt.io explains, attackers are trying to hijack reporters' Signal accounts by tricking people into handing over their 2FA codes. www.linkedin.com/posts/nicosc...
