GF: Ohmigod can we do this? Let's have a spelling bee with our friends!
Me: Okay! (actually interested)
GF: You're not allowed to participate, you're the judge.
Me: oh

It's pretty telling that Murder of Crows is hitting this high in the rankings for sci-fi right now. Almost like we're free-falling toward a dystopia...

Link in the bio if you want to read it for free (until 4/15).

Meeting you was at least a positive development.

So Ramaswamy didn't even last a day at DOGE. I knew he'd get pushed out, but I thought he'd be around for at least a week.

too on-the-nose that @theonion.com is one of the first accounts to reach 1M followers here. they're officially bluesky's paper of record now, i don't make the rules

Safe from the LA fires for now, but since I'm in the Valley I've been on the knife's edge of leaving town for the last couple days.

Trying to be optimistic about them holding the line, but if it crosses the 405 then I'm heading out right after. Locals should have their exit strategy in order.

Just got reminded that I finished the first draft of my first book fourteen years ago.

No one should ever read the damn thing, but it's nice to keep track of the milestones.

Yeah, but the media is endless! I need to keep watching the New Thing or else what will I talk about with strangers?

Re-watching Season 1 of Arcane to prep for a binge of Season 2, and as much as I loved it, I barely remember anything I'm seeing.

That happen to any of you, in this age of streaming? It's like I only have flash memory for even the best material.

I'm always gonna lean toward writing near-future for my sci-fi, but man, the near-future hasn't been kind. This'll be the third time I'll need to partly rewrite Daytrippers since I wrote it in 2017.

Disappointed seeing some of the publishing news. Just want to reiterate our position on "AI" training:

We will never willingly allow someone to train "AI" tools on work we've received or published. There will not be any licensing deals here. No in-house projects either.

Likewise at BCS: We will never willingly allow someone to train "AI" tools on work we've received or published. (And our publication contract with writers forbids us from doing so; it leaves all Rights and choice for "AI" training use of the story to its author.)

The Horsemen of Death and Pestilence are in the center frame, with a number of Fallen Angels and monsters menacing from the outer edges.

Until I have more to talk about for Exfinitum, here's the cover for From Hell with Love, which is the start of my Dark Fantasy Trilogy and serves as a great entry point into my novels. Some of these characters will even be in the game, and you can check it out here: www.amazon.com/Hell-Love-Ke...

Oh, that's a really interesting cover! You're going to keep looking back at that one for weeks and still get that endorphin rush.

I guess I'll actually start using this account, now that xitter is even more of a dumpster fire.

And the game is getting closer to being done, so I'll have more to share about it in the next few months.

Traded in my last Colorado sunrise yesterday for my first California sunset tonight.

Looks like there will be a lot more blue skies from now on.

There's something maliciously funny about how this Starbucks Drive-Thru is wrapped around a Sleep Number store.

Oh, you're tired and need coffee, huh? Bet you wish you knew your sleep number.
