My favorite books? I'm gonna cheat. I recently read The Last Chronicle of Yenneh by @jomiles.bsky.social, Dubious Clamor by @Marissalingen, and am currently reading The Walking Chaos series by@patricknessbooks.bsky.social and found myself engrossed in each one.
The TRUNK anthology is out today! I'm excited about this; I've got a story in here alongside a bunch of really talented authors. The theme? Stories that have gotten rejected--a lot. Rejected a dozen times, or several dozen, despite being great stories, and that's the point.
Metaphorosis Publishing@metaphorosis.com · last mo.Coming in August! TRUNK: stories that took the long way A collection of stories that almost didn't make it.
I bought this a few months ago, and just got around to reading it recently. Lovely and cozy, with fun plot twists and enticing food descriptions. It's somewhere between Great British Bake Off and Princess Bride and a cozy mystery
Maryland folks! Next Saturday (a week from tomorrow!) I'll be selling books at the Book Fair at Bel Air. Come join the bookish fun!
I am so glad this is finally coming to light. There have been rumors about this for several months now, but everyone who could have gone on record had airtight NDAs. This is not the only thing that these companies are rumored to be doing that no one in the know can talk about.
Dr. Jeroen W.P. Wijnendaele@drdragases.bsky.social · last wk.No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

Imagine being this rich and not having someone to grow you backyard tomatoes, one of the few shiningly perfect foods in this world. Seriously, what is the point of money?
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 2w agoAnother odd moment occurred when Musk insisted that work in the future would be "optional" because robots would do everything. Musk said people might still work in the future but compared it to people who grow their own backyard tomatoes. He said they could just go to the store for better tomatoes.

From now on, every time I worry a presentation went badly, I can say "at least I didn't try to pretend nothing was wrong while the crew hauled a collapsed robot off the stage."
Rav@rvbdrm.com · 2w agoQuick thinking having a tablecloth handy. I didn’t even notice the twitching from that dead robot.
If you liked The Dragon Has Some Complaints, I can't imagine you not enjoying The Imaginary Corpse.

Delighted to see one of my stories on this list, and in such good company! I wrote the tech I want in my life, when the real-world ones are full of disappointment and enshittification. You can read or listen here: escapepod.org/2026/06/25/e...

Had a delightful time chatting with @wiswell.bsky.social at Greedy Reads last night about The Dragon Has Some Complaints! Thanks everyone who joined us -- despite dire forecasts we did not get swept away by tornadoes (or eaten by dragons). Go read this book, it will fill you with joy!
Fascinating lunch chat with @wiswell.bsky.social at Tamber’s restaurant discussing his new novel The Dragon Has Some Complaints for a future episode of Eating the Fantastic. And if you’re near Baltimore, head to Greedy Reads to hear him in conversation tonight at 7:00 with @jomiles.bsky.social!
The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply
