John Birmingham

Is it on?

Down here in the off world colonies I had not even heard of Ponies. But I’m getting very John Le Carre vibes from this

Perhaps if the Herzog protesters had turned up dressed as Nazis the cops would have left them alone

Just once I’d like to go to a protest where the protesters had all the batons and pepper spray and the cops weren’t allowed to do anything but suck it up when half a dozen punters dog piled them

Ooh deep cut!

I’m trying to write it i from the PoV and in the voice of William Burroughs… as a fitness influencer

I’m very sad about Kudelka. It fucking sucks.

Decided to add an epilogue

I thought you meant Steven Segal and I wondered what Trump had made him

Holy shit. I could finish writing this book tomorrow! Huzzah for Sunday chapters!

Little pro tip. Roll from the first to the second workout a break. Work on it for three days… then take that break you earned. But just a small one.

Murphy's Fiction Fridays! Grand Debut! Fishin' Fer Tuesday, Part One

This is a great short story by my old mate, Murph. It’s nominally sci fi, but the broken robot stuff is really about our broken humanity. Give it a read if you’re a fan of the golden age. Or robots. Or you’d just like to escape the horrors of this timeline for a while

I'd forgotten just how fucking insanely good John writes, is there a bookshop at this Airport?

This would be spectacular.

Mine too! I wrote it for lulz but now I desperately need to watch it for real

This is brilliant and MUST be done!

My pitch to Jason Statham. Sorry, couldn't stop myself.

I decided to write a movie for Jason Statham in which ICE invades the small midwestern town of Tinyville and EX-DELTA FORCE SAS NAVY SEAL SHERIFF MASON MCKILLCHAIN must choose between the law and revenge, but not for long.

BOOYAH!

This is a fantastic story world. Amazing work. Also, tbh, some of these stories freaked me the fuck out

I did the main 26 update months ago. It’s only started draining battery in the last week or so. I think maybe there was a point to update or something. But like you yeah I am finding the phone is almost dead by mid afternoon.

I do a breathing exercise. Takes about three minutes to put me under

Cracking good read @birmo.bsky.social. Moving onto book 2 now. app.thestorygraph.com/books/ea2116... #booksky

Is there anything better than getting into bed? No, there is not. I will not be taking answers at this time.

Tim Apple needs to pull his head out of Temu Hitler’s arse.

No. All your batteries are belong to Donald Trump now, or something

I don’t even know what you’re talking about but TESTIFY!!!
