Another day, another @seananmcguire.bsky.social preorder to be had.

This time... Velveteen vs. The Consequences of Her Actions!

I believe that makes.. five 2026 books up for preorder, now?
Wayward Children, Incryptid, MTG: Strixhaven, Inkpot Gods, and Velveteen.

“FUCK AI” is turning into a movement.

After his Frankenstein Q&A at the Chinese Theater, Guillermo del Toro asked the audience to scream “FUCK AI.”

My almost 12 year old child is resisting going to bed. Tonight’s form of resistence is grabbing books off the shelf in my bedroom and checking what they’re about.

Child stopped and opened “Stories are Weapons” and read for 20 minutes… I think it’s a hit…

This is phenomenal.
Here is a corrected version of it. It should have any and all typos taken care of - but feel free to point out any! I want this to be squared away before I make any prints! Thanks, #JewSky for your enthusiasm!

People act like all the men are gone. The men are attending protests. The men are putting together scooters for their kids. The men are getting a set of turntables for the first time. The men are buying Nikes. The men are getting super into noir. They're not Nazis and they're fine. Keep your freaks.

Just finished the latest October Daye novel from @seananmcguire.bsky.social , entitled “Silver & Lead.”

As expected a wonderful outing, even if there were some events in the back half that made me wondering I was going to have to riot.

Here’s hoping I get to see Toby and crew again soon…

I have finally finished reading @charliejane.bsky.social ‘s most recent novel, “Lessons in Magic & Disaster,” and I have to say: I think this is her best book yet. It is grounded, completely personal, and wonderfully whimsical.

Worth your time.

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

@repkimschrier.bsky.social Never misses an opportunity to disappoint.

For someone who was voted into office in 2018 on the back of Indivisible as an anti-Trump candidate, she sure seems dedicated to giving the republicans and their dear leader *whatever they want.*
You might think it should be a non-controversial belief among Democrats that "DC should be able to self-govern.

But 31 House Democrats just voted to give Trump and Congressional Republicans full control over DC's sentencing laws.

Shameful, heinous behavior from Vichy Democrats

Today, I got to work and had the "joy" of a coworker asking me to check his figures on something.

The query he used to get his raw data came from ChatGPT and he didn't know how it worked, so he needed someone who actually knows SQL to figure it out.

So I had to rework the entire problem.

There is no ethical, legal, or moral difference between a missile strike on a civilian boat in international waters and a missile strike on a civilian vehicle on I-95.

I am watching the Thunderbolts movie.

I am reminded that the original shooting title for The Avengers was “Group Hug.”

I've been binging Star Trek: Voyager in the evenings, and last night just finished episode 2.16: "Meld."

I'm entirely amused by the solution to the episode.

Vulcan Tech Support: "have you tried turning them off, and then on again?"

Remember kids, reboot your Vulcan after a bad mind-meld!

There’s a clip going around of a 10-year old, talking about his experiences and his injured friend, taken after the shooting this morning.

The majority reaction on that post is to chastise MSNBC for interviewing a child.

It’s true, a kid can’t give good consent for filming. It’s also true that..

@charliejane.bsky.social and @asterolsen.bsky.social at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park tonight, reading from and talking “Lessons in Magic & Disaster.”

@andypeloquinauthor.bsky.social I bought a book directly from you at WorldCon. Imagine my surprise when I received an unsolicited email.

I respect that you've gotta hustle and sell books to people who buy them, but you should re-think pulling an email out of the buy order and sending a newsletter.
August 18, 2025 at 7:05 PM
Okay, done with worldcon and home.

I will now collapse into a puddle for the next two hours, then it’s on to the next thing. Gotta work tomorrow and life resumes.
