Three days after my mother died I was in her house cleaning out her bedroom. The phone rang. The caller ID said the name of the hospital where she passed. I picked it up and said hello. After a few seconds of quiet, an automated female voice said “Goodbye,” and the call was over.

Many people say the newer It movies are better than the made-for-TV one from 100 years ago, however those people are wrong. RIP to this absolute (and literal!) Legend.

LOL I had a MS request through #SmallPitch but it turned out to be a mistake because they didn’t see it was a novelette when they asked for it.

It should have been done in 1978, but there’s still time for a genre bending buddy cop drama with Peter Criss and R2-D2. Saturdays between Love Boat and Fantasy Island. Like you wouldn’t watch it. Ok sure.

Hey for anyone in the Philly area, come on down to Delco Horror Haven’s 3rd annual book fair on 3-21! I’ll be slinging copies of my novel Children of the Beast, along with 20+ indie horror authors with books for sale!

Easy, ladies. This lifelong magat failure and doughy tub'o guts with smoldering eyes is soon going to be too busy to answer your DMs. I think we're getting a sneak peek at our next Secretary of DHS right here, if you want the truth. Maybe he'll respond if you show up with bail money?

At least Cheney lived long enough to see himself despised not just by progressives, but by the very MAGA cult he helped create. Ah, the circle is complete.

So I realize this is, um, late, but just wanted to say thanks to @markhamillofficial.bsky.social for signing my Star Wars lunchbox 31 years ago at the Warner Bros store in NYC. And for the voicemail message! What a day. My friends and I still talk about it. #Starwars m.youtube.com/watch?v=Py2u...

Instead of a terse “best of luck elsewhere” rejection email, wouldn’t it be better if editors just sent something back that said: NERP! I might prefer that.

Instead of "skeets" I think all posts here should be called "chemtrails". This is Blue Sky, is it not, where all chemtrails reside? You could "chemtrail" a link to your favorite recipe, or BuzzFeed's Top 10 Side-Boob moments of 2018. Let's make Marjorie Taylor Green happy and get this shit done.

Frenly’s Waffle Mix was always a favorite in our family, mostly for the hallucinations it gave Grandpa. Much much much cheaper than his medication.

I think this would be a thin, wraithlike being with kind eyes, who shows up in your house and follows you from room to room, and seems almost friendly. But anytime a death is mentioned, it starts to weep, and follows you closer, and wants hugs. So you sit with it and listen to it wail.

Bummer on those paused tariffs! Everyone knows the US only needed a couple weeks to completely rebuild the massive manufacturing infrastructure we had in the 1950s and 60s to shift global production to our shores instead of a China. Oh well, at least my retirement was decimated.

Uh oh #Nebraska Looks like a 289 million dollar budget shortfall coming your way. Are all 2 million Nebraska residents about to get an email from DOGE telling them they’re all fired? Gotta run the country like a business, right? nebraskaexaminer.com/briefs/decre...

Decrease in federal share of Nebraska Medicaid costs increases state budget shortfall • Nebraska Examiner
The federal government again plans to decrease the percentage of state Medicaid costs it will cover, widening Nebraska's budget gap.

Absolutely pathetic discussion on @npr.org with Mary Louise Kelly and @zoeschiffer.bsky.social casually discussing how “unusual” neo Nazi oligarch Elon Musk’s illegal takeover of the federal gov’t is. Lots of “Hm. I wonder what that’s about” energy. Great job, folks. Awesome.
