@roguehobbies.bsky.social wanted to share my wrecka krew kill team, painted almost exclusively with your pro acryl line (except the Bright Jade, but that’s what happens when you let a six year old pick the colors of your models). Thanks for the great paints!

I mean, they blew him up? I think we know what happened to the chicken man. In Philly. Last night.

These dudes are far from the best models I’ve ever painted. They’re not even my favorite models I’ve painted this year. But I will say, with certainty, they’re the Warhammer models that make me laugh the hardest when I see them.

This story is one of my favorite things I’ve ever written. It is also the story that took the heaviest toll on me. Months in this dudes head was an unlivable hell, and when he was finally exorcised, I swore never to revisit him. I’m honored Beau loved it as much as he did.

I love this book so much and I am so excited it’s out in the world now. If your weekend needs a little mayhem, you absolutely can not go wrong with RIGHTEOUS TRASH.

As someone who believes there just isn't enough Eva Green in movies these days, DIRTY ANGELS is an easy sell, but really enjoying her surly hardboiled performance

AI’s Invasive Species The slop is winning.

Hi. I wrote an essay about AI slop: How it feels like an invasive species for the internet. How its boosters describe building a future that’s devoid of craft. How frictionlessness can be nihilistic & how this stuff seems to leach part of our shared humanity out of the world. I hope you'll read it.

It is genuinely draining to be governed by the dumbest motherfuckers alive.
Some days, you're not even seeking out the news, but it finds you, and you just go UGH and feel all excitement about your day vanish. Thats discomfiting and we should recognize that!

I'm on the spectrum, according to RFK Jr, cause ya boi got that deep cut.

TS isn’t even the best lyricist in her genre. Down-thread Carly Rae Jepsen is mentioned, which is a legit choice, never mind Lorde was dropping line on Royals *at 16 years old* that TS can’t touch.

Oh shit. Yeah I was confusing my statements. I haven’t been paid either.

They owe so many writers (including me!) money. A "farewell" email that includes the line, "As a result, no further payments will be issued" when we haven't been paid for a year is absolute bullshit of the highest order.

I've been talking to a lot of people the last few days, and, in case there's any doubt, I want to be clear: What Down and Out Books is doing is goddamn shameful, and staining an otherwise really incredible legacy.

Like, unironically, I imagine this is the single best review Beckett has ever received. He'd be fucking THRILLED at this.

I deeply appreciated the chance to write a gnarly little mystery set on Capri, complete with a dead fashion mogul, a shipwreck, and an annoying little dog! #amwriting #mystery

The new primitive man track is one of the single most violent pieces of music I’ve ever heard. Genuine caveman murder shit.
