I feel like most books these days are "What if that popular meme were 300 pages?"

Does crocheting multiple Cthulhu stuffies feel like an act of devotion toward The Great Old One? Kinda. A little bit.

CNN has been such an uncritical parrot of batshit right-wing propaganda for so long, that whether they now take a stance against Trump or proclaim him the second coming of Jesus Christ barely makes a difference. Courage and integrity was ten years ago, assholes.

Jesus, I feel like every novel I read these days are just people telling me the most boring thing they dreamed last night.

The Mitch McConnell debacle is still a coverup and a crime, and the fact that nobody can articulate that and get angry about it is why this regime is still walking over everybody.

To be clear, I want Trump removed no matter what happens in November.

Too many people in this country got their ideas about morality from TV shows made to sell children's toys, and it shows.

Ten years ago I paid a $2 submission fee to a literary magazine. Sometimes the shame of it still keeps me up at night.

Years ago, I bought an aloe because I thought I would love having an aloe plant in my house. Turns out, I was correct. I love having an aloe.

If someone can't understand why AI stories are inherently worthless, I don't know in what way they can be described as literate. Communication requires two parties. This is fundamental to understanding anything.

Every news headline I see lately is like: AI: Here's Why You Should Totally Start Falling For This

No disrespect to anyone but . . . When someone says "X time professional wrestling champion," what exactly am I supposed to feel?

000

Will Madden @willmadden.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I mean . . . I'm sad as anyone but . . Is really no one gonna mention how the first time they saw "9 to 5" they thought Holy shit! That took a turn I didn't expect! ?

Will Madden @willmadden.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Also, people are reading horror novels with happy endings now? Wtf are you doing, the world?

Yesterday a reader of Kevin of the Werewolf: Shattered Moon handed me a typed up review with some of her favorite quotes from the novel and a list of films she thought I might enjoy. It came with stickers. Pretty much the nicest thing a reader has ever done!

In the 2010s the question was how to prevent environmental devastation without spoiling the earning potential of billionaires. In the 2020s the question became how to dislodge an unconstitutional crime regime from power without breaking any rules. Guys! Guys.

I feel like the world needs a twenty year moratorium on new technologies.

I'm not entirely sure what this means, but I suddenly feel like everything I've been led to believe is wrong.

A six of clubs reads: Radiation Exposure ; Exposure to gamma radiation DOES NOT cause contamination!

It's not less of a crime if you do it by taking a vote.

Look, I know I say this about absolutely everything, but a live action Jetsons movie really does sound like the heat death of the universe.

I'm worried that the Internet can and will overuse everything to the point of meaningless but . . . Part of me thinks "there's no sex scenes and all the food looks horrible" should be used as criticism anywhere and everywhere it applies.

Your 40s are special because you have to decide if you want to hurt from too much exercise or too little. Because, surprise, your body is now unfit for both activity *and* inertia.

Will Madden @willmadden.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Superheroes are so poorly suited to live action and such a good fit for animation that I cannot comprehend why we insist on tearing down civilization to get it wrong.

Will Madden @willmadden.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Fiction writers always whinge about "killing your darlings." They should call it "slapping your ugly kids with a cast iron skillet" and make it fun for everyone.

Will Madden @willmadden.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

I don't know what the fuss is. I, like most people, have it in my advance directive that the only people allowed to visit me on my deathbed are ones with reason to lie about whether I'm alive.

You can vote for whoever you want in November, but America is fucked until people are ready to put Senators in jail.

Will Madden @willmadden.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

US senators voting to allow Trump to continue with his beast stupid war with Iran should themselves be treated as war criminals. The whole point of the Senate is to do indefensible shit without accountability. That needs to end. Immediately.

4/5 undead seals in tutus agree! Kevin The Vampire is a delightful romp!

A greenish crocheted seal in a red tutu on a shelf gazes at the pages of Will Madden's novelette, Kevin The Vampire. On the cover, Kevin is a silhouette sitting on a church altar with spikey hair, visible fangs, and colorful nail polish. He wears knit socks with brightly colored stripes. A stained glass window behind him has an argyle pattern.

If the news is just gonna repeat what some dumbass says as if it were a serious thing, why can't *I* be that dumbass?

I've pretty much no idea what "offbeat" comedy means.

I don't care about the 25th amendment. I don't care about 2/3 of the Senate. I don't care about the Constitution at all. The Trump regime needs to end now, and elected officials at every level of government need to figure out how to make it happen.

What is fascinating about publishing is how gobsmackingly easy it is to write a new and refreshing take on pretty much any genre, and how much the industry and the public will resist those books to fall into anyone's hands.

The US government is literally everyone pretending to be the grown up in the room while they all whine about the big dump in their pants.

People need to abandon their baseless faith and hope that institutions will correct themselves. We can't afford to be this fucking stupid anymore. I hope Argentina wins.

You defer to the consensus opinion but you also know that literally no one has pronounced Steve Buscemi's name correctly in, like, 40 years.

It's been a long time since I've respected mainstream journalism, but it's shocking the extent to which the news these days is freeform gibberish.

It's like a terrible joke, we are supposed to be ashamed that Amy Coney Barrett lives some of her days afraid.

"I wish I could feed him pig shit in a way his corpse could taste. Sadly, I cannot." I fixed it for you, you're welcome. Soooo fucking tired of people pretending to be the grown up in the room when they are the mess.

Those of you still trying to dig up proof or otherwise that McConnell is really dead, you need to get out of trying to lead political discourse. This is not your sport.

The most frustrating thing about AI bros is they really seem to think its opponents would be converted if we just looked at what it can do, as if we don't look all day, every day since time out of mind.
