My son (only knee pictured) has a copy of the Hobbit, while I'm reading The Two Towers. I told him to bring a book to the cafΓ©, and had no idea what he was going to bring.

Took my eldest son (now 14) to a cafΓ© today, and could not help but notice my mad parenting skills.

Thrilled to be a part of the first physical edition of Grimdark Magazine. It's a great mag, run by a great crew of people, and the issue is a banger. Check it out:

My nerdom knows no bounds. After a hiatus of several years, I picked up the brushes again and painted my Skaven team for the new edition of Blood Bowl. Listening to music, painting, is my zen.

"You can't put the genie back in the bottle" for generative AI, they say. But didn't we collectively decide to do that for human cloning?

This is awesome. While I've had a few short stories translated, this is the first time for my of my novels (36 Streets). The Russian cover of my vehemently anti-imperialist book is excellent, and I love seeing this artist's interpretation of the protagonist, Lin Thi Vu. Link below.

Was pumped when Beth & Adrian @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social asked me to write a story for their special cyberpunk issue. On top of that, somehow I got the cover art (look at the contributors to the issue - a truly stellar line-up). It's their first print edition, and I can't wait to get mine.

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.
