For this debut author, a review of my novel in the @PioneerPress is a big deal. Huge thanks to @maryannbks for so clearly capturing what I was trying to do with these characters. Also, please subscribe! For now, here's a link to the review: twincities.com/2026/07/12/re…

Today I realized that The Exorcist is really a mockumentary about what it's like to have a sick and/or overly tired kid. Realism at its finest!

🧵 Something folks are missing here: this raid wasn’t about “illegals taking American jobs.” It was about ICE storming the Hyundai–LG battery plant in Georgia, part of a $7.6B Metaplant project that isn’t even operational yet. They dragged out more than 300 South Korean engineers and specialists. People flown in to help stand the place up so it could eventually employ thousands of Georgians/Americans. This plant wasn’t scheduled to start running until late 2025 or early 2026. These workers weren’t taking jobs; they were building the factory that would create them.

My new short story, "Billy's Paradox," was recently named runner up in Press 53's Prime Number Magazine Award for Short Fiction. I'd be delighted if you took a look at the story: press53.com/issue-277-pnm-aw…

If Wisconsin offered @GovTimWalz a $40,000 Harley Davidson, the entire Republican Party would have a full melt down.

Oh, Turnip meant he'd end the war "for" one day. Thanks, Vlad. Happy Easter!

Incompetence and arrogance is one *hell* of a combination. And I speak from experience!

My father used to say that the first thing that separated human beings from other animals was the ability to tie knots.

Delighted and grateful to participate in the Black Beach Art Book Fair this past weekend. Many thanks to Brad Zellar for the opportunity & to Carolyn Swiszcz for the zine collabs. So many great photographers and zine makers can't possibly mention them all. Can't wait 4 next year!

Been looking forward to reading this collection from CoffeeHouse Press from the great Brian Evenson for a long time, but I'm a little worried I may never sleep again...

RIP Boris Spassky, World Chess Champion before Bobby Fischer.

This does make sense, but doing this for FOUR YEARS?
Take thirteen minutes, or bookmark this for later. This is from @ezraklein, taken from The Ezra Klein Show podcast. It explains precisely what this administration is doing and why it is essential to keep focus and not play into it. #DemsUnited #DemVoice1

Robot looters from China caught stealing jeans in Los Angeles all have five fake passports from Greenland and shit vaccines into unsuspecting movie stars' planters while UFOs drop magic mushrooms onto elementary school playground, thanks Gavin.

Easily confusing the Anthropic AI model in early 2025. This bodes well for letting "general intelligence" run important things as soon as possible.

Note to future: They should use AI to create Jodorowski's Dune.
