Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

The only kind of climate change I can approve of 😌
Two big red cats circle a terrified hog encased in ice. The cat's tails are flames and melt the ice partially, exposing some pig butt and giving it a singe. "Uh-oh Step-Pig, I'm Stuck...!" ok I made the joke for you so you don't have to. Hot ham smoke emits from the pig and spells "BECOME AN" and melted ice on the bottom spells "ICE-FREE ZONE"

I’m howling.
Recently, Clifford "Buzz" Grambo decided to upgrade his electric scooter. The old one he had purchased online only reached 16 mph and wasn't cutting it anymore. He needed to go faster to keep up with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement cars he chases around Baltimore. So, Grambo bought a Segway MAX G3, which features a 2,000-watt motor and can get up to 28 mph. "The first time I caught up to them, I could tell that they already knew who I was," he told me when we first spoke on the phone in late October. "They had seen me before, so they thought they were just going to speed away. I was like, ha-ha bitches, I got a new scooter!"

There is a middle ground when it comes to generative AI & it's: Fuck AI because it steals from creatives. End. Of. Story.

"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

More humbling praise for THE RISE: Tales From The Gulp 3 (coming in February 2026) this time from the amazing @joanneanderton.bsky.social Thank you!
#WelcomeToTheGulp #Booksky
Cover of The Rise showing a creepy road at night (art by Halinka Orszulok) and the text reads: “In The Rise, Alan Baxter returns to Gulpepper, and there’s something about this small town that draws you in. Wouldn’t want to live there, not sure it’s the safest holiday destination either, but I’m still thrilled to set foot on its disturbing streets once again. These five new novellas balance masterfully between heartbreaking, horrific, and out-right action packed. Whether you’re a hardened local, or visiting for the first time, any trip to The Gulp is an experience you’ll never forget.” – Joanne Anderton, author of Pixerina: A Haunting and The Bone Chime Song.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

F that!

I'm speechless. Literary icon @tananarivedue.bsky.social has graced THE CURSE OF HESTER GARDENS with the most incredible blurb. To have someone I admire so deeply say such wonderful things about my debut novel is a dream come true.

This is the progression of every T. Kingfisher horror novel I’ve read:

1. Delightful spooky vibes

2. Oh no what the fuck

3. OH NO WHAT THE FUCK

4. THANKS I HATE IT

5. *incoherent internal screaming*

6. Are we safe now?

7. HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK
