Hey! Would you like another version of Carrie in your life? Want a reminder of how much high school sucks? Want to see Shaggy from the live action Scooby Doo movie as an ineffectual high school principal? 😂 Carrie is now out on Amazon Prime. I wrote episode three: Social Studies. 😘

Being a woman at the Rush concert might be the best thing ever. And no, that is not a euphemism.

"This is my worst nightmare. Having to go out on Halloween night? Is it at a bar? Please, please say you’re joking." buff.ly/lzXrLVa

The art director of the New Yorker being an "AI whisperer" should be a red flag for all artists who might work for the New Yorker going forward. The Spiegelman thing is a whole other bummer.

Today! Fright Reads Book Festival at the Howard County Fairgrounds. Come say hi. I promise to make it weird.

Forever here for hot, cozy Superman.

I binged the amazing Carrie on Amazon Prime and was thrilled to see written by @justinaireland.com pop up on my screen. I had the pleasure of meeting her at a con, and she so kindly signed the books I purchased. If you haven't watched Carrie yet, I highly recommend it.

Tomorrow! I will be at Fright Reads Book Festival. Come say hi! www.frightreads.com

In every comic I get to write there is a page that brings me absolute joy. For the Amazing Spider-Man Halloween Special it is this page of Spider-Man accidentally shooting spiders at kids. 😂 Shout out to all of the amazing people who made this issue happen. 💜

Getting a roof is not conducive to writing. 🫠

"Amazing Spider-Man: Halloween Special #1 is a charming seasonal treat that captures the fun of Halloween through inventive superhero antics and delightful comic strip homages..." @justinaireland.com Read @davidbrooke.bsky.social's review: aiptcomics.com/2026/10/21/a...

Views from the Overlook! Preorder now! Look at those contributors! The cover! This many exclamation marks it has to be good!!!!!!

Come on, friends. Let’s send Andy back to the hole he crawled out of!

At long last, we have created a way for you to take away Nikki's free will, from the classic horror movie "don't take away Nikki's free will"

Getting a new roof, which in my part of the world means Amish, and there is a guy working here that looks like Andy Samberg dressed as an Amish dude. Fun fact: roof was supposed to be done a couple weeks ago, but got delayed because they all had measles. 🫠

Every one should take a day to write at Panera because nothing will make you appreciate your life like sitting next to a wealth planner trying to convince a sixty something year old that they cannot save their way to financial independence. This man is fighting for his life over some CDs. 😂

This week!

How do people who don’t live in a place with legalized cannabis deal with the daily horrors of our modern existence? We just licking random toads and hoping for the best or what?

Emails from real people do not begin by summarizing my book to me, the person who wrote said book. Because they, the email writer, know that I wrote the book and thusly know the plot. The awkwardness of an AI generated email is not the same as real human awkwardness, which is messy and beautiful.

1) I'm on the board of the Ray Bradbury Center 2) I am co-editing a new anthology (with Carrie Cooper, Assistant Director of the Ray Bradbury Center and public humanities scholar).

"I don’t see what’s wrong with asking the followers of Islam to denounce the Muslim Brotherhood. It’s important for the public to know where non-Christians stand on every organization that has ever existed in a Muslim-majority country and every person with the name 'Mohammed.'" buff.ly/oFYteni

It’s only a moral panic because a lot of hateful old people have just realized they have no way to support themselves in their twilight years.

Historian of abolition here, Happy raid on Harper’s Ferry Day! John Browns body lies a moldering in the grave, his truth is marching on!

Anyone who has ever played with a Hot Wheel track knows this shit isn't real. We just ignoring physics, now?

This chode.

for real: get your ass to the polls, folks we’re gonna see some weird shit out there this year, you never know

55,000 words AKA the point in a book where I completely forget how to write or what plot even is.

Watching Republicans crash out when their bullshit catches up to them is my favorite. 🤩

Grindr is training its AI on your photos, your age, and your taps by default, without asking. This video shows where the app buried the off switch. The stakes are high on an app like Grindr. Numerous countries criminalize same-sex relations, so being outed through your data can be dangerous.

“Some people know more than they should…” An absolutely terrible AI ad for a book that was most likely also written with AI.

Maybe the real punk rock is just the old dudes we piss off along the way. 🤣

Granny panties are punk. Parking garages are punk. Oatmeal raisin cookies are punk. Dry cleaning is punk. Streetlights are punk. Seals are punk. And so are walruses. But not manatees. Never manatees.

Someone needs a snack.

It’s October, so I should remind you that this is the month to schedule your Covid and influenza vaccines. Because under this administration vaccines are punk rock. 🤘🏽

If you are at @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social today, please stop by our panel and come to Table I-38 afterwards to get a copy of A Haunted Girl signed by Naomi (and her dad).

Saw a kid wearing g a Primis shirt so I yelled at him “Primus sucks!” And he was all like “what?!” hurt feelings. Someone must start teaching the children the ways of the world.

LOL, if I ever write a memoir no one is going to believe my bullshit.

“What’s causing it is unclear.” The fuck, you say.

Unfortunately, I'm under the weather so I won't be at NYCC, but please check out the Lucasfilm Publishing panel on Friday at 11am & the Mad Cave panel on Sunday at 1:45pm. Both have amazing creators & reveals! And don't forget about our Forbidden Planet signing on Friday night. Have fun without me!

This is me but also I’m willing to admit when I’m wrong.
