Hipster Murderbot would be...something.

20-something years later, people still discovering my Fanboy & Goth Girl novels, and I can only hope they look at the copyright dates and realize these were written LONG before the Gaiman stuff became public.

Every now and then, someone will comment on the Great Ecuadorian Tortoise Blight of 1928 from my first novel, and I take an absurd amount of glee in telling them that it's basically word-for-word something I pulled on my history teacher in tenth grade.

As in the book, she totally bought it.

I mean, for all I know, he threw it in the trash when he got back to his hotel room. But holy shit -- Luke Skywalker asked for my autograph!

Any native Russian speakers out there willing to do a quick β€˜n’ dirty consult for me? I will pay in money or signed books, depending on your preference!

When I worked on PREVIEWS, Mark Hamill asked me to sign a copy for him.

Insulting the Mayor Is Nothing New. But This Was Shocking.

You know who else called people (our people) cockroaches? Dear fellow Jews: THIS IS NOT OKAY.

You all are knocking it out of the park. Even those I've had to pass on have had a lot to recommend them. The quality is just so high and the competition fierce. Remember, no book has ever been universally accepted. A 'no' only means 'not for me' not that it won't succeed elsewhere.

The value proposition for dealing with publishers has been plummeting for years. Wild to watch it happen.

i like that publishing now is basically like "give us the privilege of investing in your book so we can *not* do the work to get people to read it bc we enjoy lighting money on fire"

Repeat after me: Whatever makes me a worse Catholic, makes me a better Jew. And whatever makes me a worse Jew, makes me a better Catholic.

I am totally getting into Heaven.

Thanks, Mom and Dad!

As is my tradition, I am giving up being Jewish for Lent so that I can eat leavened bread during Passover. #cashew #catholicjew #playingbothsides #toucheGod #lawyered

So brutal. And Clark’s raw despair and rage at finding her…

Just watched SUPERMAN (1978) in a theater for the first time since, well, 1978.

Man, the death of Lois Lane is HORRIFIC. I can’t believe it didn’t give me nightmares as a kid.

We keep trying to apply logic and reason to people and factions who are, at their core, steeped in bullshit mysticism, broken mythologies, and salmonella-infested gut instincts. We can't rationalize their behavior or talk them out of it because there is no there there.

If you can get the angle, yeah, absolutely. That’s why I recommended the awl. No idea how thick the metal is or how big the hole she needs.

Oh, jeez, yes! I should have said that!!!

I'd go with something like this: www.lowes.com/pd/DEWALT-14...

And just to be safe, when drilling metal I usually tape the spot where I'm drilling to keep the bit from skipping all over the place. Maybe start by using an awl to put a little dimple in the metal for some grip.

Oh, wow, I saw an interview with Henry where he tells the story of his father making him watch the lynching. So wild to see the two generations impacted by that moment.

Grampa Fonda was a woke motherfucker.
