The one good thing about the hearings is that Eric Schmitt is going to be reminded of what a two bit showboating loser he is for the rest of his life.

I did this and got a nice note from the bookstore thanking me for the purchase and confirming it would be signed. Support the authors you read AND small businesses!

Brett Meiselas: If we’re going to get into a “race” against China like with AI, why is it never like... We’re going to get into an affordable healthcare race! We’re going to get into an infrastructure race and beat them in high-speed rail! We’re going to beat China in the affordable housing race!

Goodnight from Charlie Hazelgrove, sitting on the deck of the Narrow Escape and listening out for the telltale tuck-tuck-tuck of a black-lanterned canal boat in hopes of procuring certain illicit goods. Goodnight from Lizzie Pecksmith, waiting for the voices to arrive. Goodnight from Hookland.

The Great Beast welcomes the Moon Child
A parody of a Donald Trump post on Twitter: For those people still falling for the hoax that I am not the moonchild, it's a fact that I was born under a blood moon, on the day the great Aleister Crowley prophesied the moonchild would be born. A lot of people saying that I am not the moonchild, which is a lie. These people are frankly stupid and lack a occult knowledge. I think it's wonderful that I am the moonchild and frankly so should everybody. May the Lord of the Earth bless America and Israel. #MAGA #MAGOG

A funny old guy in the park handed me this. I thought he was trying to sell me some kind of weird bong, but he said it was a puzzle and if I got it just right it would show me things, whatever that means. What do you think? Should I try to solve it?

From the introduction to the Hookland Tourist Board I=SEE STRANGE HOOKLAND book:
REMEMBER:

Don’t go out by yourself at night. Many things in this book are thought to be imaginary, but being out by yourself in the dark can still be dangerous – even if you don’t encounter the Danebury Grim. 

If you see something that scares you, tell a parent or a trusted adult such as a teacher. In extreme cases where you can’t find an adult you can trust, you could even tell a police officer.

Don’t provoke Faeries of any type. You would not like people shouting your name, poking you in your bed with a stick or throwing stones in your bath, so don’t do it to Faeries. No-one likes ill-behaved children, least of all the Elves of Hookland.

Don’t signal for UFOs with torches. It is not only a waste of batteries, it can be misinterpreted by the emergency services. Besides, we can’t promise that all UFOs are friendly or interpret your signal as a positive message.

Show some respect for the graves of the dead. If you were buried in the ground you wouldn’t appreciate another child dancing on your grave or trying to dig it up would you?

Remember to take extra care when looking for things around water – both by the sea and along rivers and pools. Even if he is imaginary, the King-Under-the-Sea should be shown some deference and Stay Belows not encouraged to grab at you when dangling your legs or trailing your hands in cool, apparently calm water.

Imaginary things can’t hurt you unless you believe in them with all your heart and then they are really quite dangerous.

“There is no single Latin American identity or experience; not throughout Latin America, and certainly not throughout the West. I wanted to create something that was much more literary in nature than what we’ve seen in the past.”

I’m reading VELO/CITIES STORIES by @kkoja.bsky.social and holy shit if you haven’t read it fix your life and make it up to our good dark Lord asap. I’m sure it’s not too late already. Your name has definitely not been carved deep into the hide of a great heaving luminescent beast. That’s silly.

1/7 On Jim Thompson's birthday, here are a few of my favorite lines from his books. “I ain't saying you're a liar, because that wouldn't be polite. But I'll tell you this, ma'am. If I loved liars, I'd hug you to death.” “Life is a bucket of shit with a barbed wire handle.”

Nixon started the destruction of the country and Reagan perfected it. Now Trump has taken what their methods and turned it into a mob operation. Three of the vilest men in US history.

Happy birthday to Jim Thompson, one of the best and most uncompromising American noir writers. If you only know The Getaway from the film versions, you're missing a lot. Neither had the guts to go all the way to the real ending of the story.

Damn. I left one of my favorite shots off that last reel. This is Satine Phoenix from our first session way back when I took over the front room of my shitty, but huge apartment in San Francisco and turned it into a photo studio. Satine is a wonderful model and a lovely person.

My theory is that he's trying to rebrand AI as Super Intelligence because he has some sort of weird plan to make money off it down the road, kind of like Trump crypto or maybe a subscription service like Truth Social.
