I made an affiliate store at @bookshop.org that you can use to browse all my books (or buy them if you're in the US). Also added a short list of some books I love. bookshop.org/shop/neuvel

Nope. Or maybe I’m lying and I’m really gunning for 300k copies.

But then you need 15,000 friends to do the same. Better preorder 1 and convince some rich person to go for 150,000. Then we’re 49,999 short of 200k. Or. If while convincing some to buy 150k copies you accidentally convince two, then we’re funning for half a million.

The best thing you can do to help your favorite author is to pre-order 150,000 copies of their next book.

For info, I’m Canadian. I live in Montreal. That said I do butt in American politics once in a while because I lived in Chicago for years, spent some months in California, and I care for the people I know. Also, when the US takes a piss, Canada gets splashed no matter what.

Forty-three days later, House Speaker Mike Johnson has not sworn in Grijalva.

I mean, that’s the idea. Everyone to the left of us has no choice so we should move as right as we can. We can cut off one leg or two legs, you pick. That’s the idea they think will bring them back to power.

2/2 Dem senate leader won’t endorse, won’t even say he voted for him. Dem house dude waits until last minute to endorse. Pelosi? Nope. So these are all Dems actively trying to sabotage their own nominee because they no shit actually want to run as moderate racists in the next election…

I hope people don’t forget and treat the Dem establishment accordingly. Dude wins dem nomination. Current dem dude says fuck it, I’ll run as an independent. Sex pest former dem says fuck it I’ll run as independent. Other former dem dude says I’ll give 8.5 million to sex pest. 1/2

450 candy bars and we were out before 7:30, in the pouring rain with crazy wind. I love my neighborhood. Also this dude had a flaming race car.

A flaming race car. Well, half of one in front of a house.
