@joe-hill.bsky.social I wanted to get in on the King Sorrow ARC love. What an amazing book! This is the fastest I’ve ever read 900 pages. Pacing was incredible, and King Sorrow’s Freddy Krueger-meets-Smaug-with-Robert-Shaw’s-Voice vibe was so fun. Congratulations on such an accomplishment. Wow.

I do not say this lightly. INSTANT CLASSIC. King Sorrow is by far my favorite @joe-hill.bsky.social novel. It made me feel like I was back in high school reading one of the great books that set me on this path to begin with. LOVED it.

I might say this is @joe-hill.bsky.social best yet? 🐉 I have screamed loudly several times already. Just passed the 60% mark
One of my fave film teams is back, baby. Fresh from the success of THE GORGE, @scottderrickson.bsky.social @crobertcargill.bsky.social return to the nightmarish @joe-hill.bsky.social inspired call of THE BLACK PHONE. And those @maggielevin.bsky.social Super8 clips...every one hits like a body blow.
It’s perfectly natural that people should believe Sherlock Holmes is the main character of 56 stories and 4 novels about Sherlock Holmes. But Doyle was always a clever hand when it came to misdirection and of course the best Sherlock Holmes stories are great because they’re really about John Watson.
From @joe-hill.bsky.social: “It’s always later than you think. Even when I’m sitting still at my desk, I’m in a desperate footrace against the clock to get in one more paragraph, one more line. It may look like not much is happening, but really I’m sprinting madly for my life.” #writingcommunity

Not really sure how to share the latest Oliver Burkeman column, "Navigating by Aliveness," which is too bad--his thinking about A.I. is clarifying. And hopeful. And good humored. He's done some of the best writing I've read about how to live well in our bizarre, disorientating moment.
Was so pleased to see “Ushers” selected for this year’s Best American SF&F. Look at this amazing line up.

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."
Hawley dismisses Trump lining his pockets with his memecoin: "Listen, I think nobody believes that Donald Trump can be bought. I mean, what does Donald Trump need more money for?"
In a congressional hearing today, RFK, jr, stated: “I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me.” The correct next sentence should’ve been, “For that reason I am today resigning my post as head of Health and Human Services.”

I read that a dump truck loaded with crap crashed into the Whiskey A-Go-Go on the Sunset Strip yesterday. Someone should've warned them not to book Creed.

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing
Bizarrely framed article about the people (all women) who ‘refuse to use AI’. And a #philosophy professor who says “The moment to opt out of #AI has already passed”. Oh well. That’s that then. 🤷♂️ #AIEthics www.bbc.com/news/article...
I was unprepared for Thunderbolts* to pack such a big emotional wallop. Gillian immediately put her finger on just why it's such an especially good Marvel film. It's *about something*. It's about depression. (teeny 🧵)
