There should be a job where if the president lies during one of these thingies you ask him follow up questions and then you make the whole statement public somehow. idk what you'd call that job though. Crazy no one's thought of it before

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

I love movies about high schoolers from the '80s. They all look like they have bad backs and mortgages. You walk into algebra and it looks like the VFW

ME: What does 6 7 mean?
THE KID: It's not a nice thing to say.
ME: So if I said 6 7 about the dog?
THE KID: (gravely) You can say that at home, but you shouldn't in public

Preorders are up now for @weirdnoirmaster.bsky.social's BlankAnon! (Link is to Amazon, but it's available on all the usual suspects.) www.amazon.com/BlankAnon-Fi...

Scarlet book cover with a white pentagon surrounded by question marks, and the silhouette of a trenchcoat-wearing man in the center. Title: BlankAnon, author Justin Robinson. Text to the side: It was a simple job: invent a conspiracy. I made up QAnon and broke the world. Nobody from my old life is still speaking to me except for the ones who have nothing left to lose. I've got an alcoholic professional killer in recovery, a witch who wants me dead, and a doomsday cultist I can't trust. We have to execute a heist that just might save the world or at least settle my conscience. And that's if my own spirit guide doesn't eat me first. It's not just another day at the office. It's the last one.

Every good editor I've had has been a woman, which is why I'm using she/her

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.
