The greatest magic trick of them all is *lying*. The reason you can't figure out that coin vanish even after the conjurer performs it three times in a row is that they *didn't* do the same trick three times in a row! 1/
You should _always_ be nominated for awards. Your books are the best!
Peter Clines@peterclines.com · 2d agoSoooooo hey. I am rarely nominated for awards so this is kinda cool. If you'd like to vote for GOD'S JUNK DRAWER, you can follow the link and it's free. But that's also a hell of a list, so I understand if you feel the need to vote for someone else.
If you are an adult and think it's appropriate, professional, or necessary to tell at other people, you're wrong. You're just a ignorant bully.

Not sure if it was clear, but I heartily recommend this book!
Max Hufnagel@animatedmax.bsky.social · 5d agoMost real-life things scare me, but fictional monsters (zombies, vampires, aliens, etc.) never did. I am never stepping foot on a boat again.
I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Seanan McGuire@seananmcguire.bsky.social · 5d agoINTO THE DROWNING DEEP by Mira Grant is only $2 in US eBook format today! That's less than half the cost of a cup of decent coffee for hours and hours of meticulous marine biology research leading you to the horrors of the deep!

TikTok has incredible moderation team. Our InfoWars video about Multiple Horse Theory — the idea that there are many horses in the world and not just one — has been fully deemed misinformation and lost the formal appeals process. Confirmed by Larry Ellison: There is only one horse on Earth.

I'm halfway around the world from the UK. I ordered Everything Will Swallow You and Notebook from blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/home and they arrived more quickly than books I ordered from a store just over a bridge from me. And FREE international delivery? I don't know how they do it.

Our long-running suspicion is that people who follow CPSC on social media are really learning about safety and it's why we think every social media platform should give us 350 million followers.

I broke down and watched Masters of the Universe because I wanted to see it but I didn’t pay to see it in the theater so I’m justifying it. I have some thoughts. I don’t see anyone talking about it this way, so here goes (spoilers ahead) I loved it.

Just saw the first episode of Spider-Noir and why in the world would anyone choose to watch it in color???!?
By posting this a few times here I've singlehandedly revived a book that was at one point dead due to my ex-publishers collapsing, not paying me for it and taking it out of print. People who read it often love it. People who don't read it sometimes get irritated. The latter is not my concern.
Tom Cox@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 3w agoHello new followers! I've removed the paywall from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book.
