Between writing for an Aussie show and several projects set in the American West, I sure find myself writing "reckon" a lot more often than I say it.

I think it’s the basil. It’s not the same after it’s cut. Also yes on the other stuff.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

The Best of All Possible Planets Hilarious space opera comedy for the fans of Futurama and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Cozy science fiction humor, and corgis!

Ooh! The esteemed Alex Shvartsman has a Kickstarter for a cool new thing. Definitely worth checking out for sci-fi fans: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ufo...

I am 100% intrigued by the fact that in an article in the San Antonio Express-News, about this weekend's Pop Madness Convention at the city's public library, all the other authors mentioned get conventional headshots and I get a picture that's me all, like, "yeah, I'm wearing my hands backwards."

If you smell toast, you might be having a stroke... a stroke of luck that is. It’s toast time.

I have adapted
the poem
that you wrote
like a hundred years ago

and which
you were probably
thinking
was exclusively about plums

Forgive me
it was low-effort
so reusable
and arguably funny

A sepia-toned image of a woman wearing a jeweled hennin, perhaps from around the turn of the 20th century

A sepia-toned image of a woman wearing a jeweled hennin, perhaps from around the turn of the 20th century

Hey history hivemind, does anyone recognize this image? A student wants to use it in her capstone and is trying to track down both citation and context. The earliest version of it in a reverse image search is from a Harry Potter fandom tumblr post in 2013. #skystorians #medievalism #medievalsky πŸ—ƒοΈ

I will never understand how anybody could look at a photograph of a beautiful creature and think that it needed to be improved

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

Well today in AI scams targeting authors. I received an email claiming to want to include my book in a book club. Not only do all the photos of authors they claim to work with look AI generated but look at @colsonwhitehead.com and @zadiesmith.bsky.social and then look at these photos

I did! And I wrote for Marvel’s Jessica Jones. Truly, it is an age of Marvels.
