This is what Trump is pretending he doesn't know about. This is Trump's agenda. The other guy might be old, but you're voting for either the old guy or this white supremacist patriarchal Christian autocracy.

I don't think it really can. Good Omens maybe, but not Discworld.

This means a lot to me right now and, while the work may be tainted, the effect it had on me at the time can't change. The alchemy it created in my artistic life is mine alone and that can't be taken away. Thank you, Kirstyn. (Via author Kirstyn McDermott on FB)

A lot of people are racist, hateful, bigoted, and these figureheads give them permission to be their worst selves. That's really the long and the short of it.

Hey. If you have ever been somewhere near David Tennant and are semi-randomly approached to see if you have any anecdotes about David Tennant, assume it's enemy action. Sorry for vagueness.

Ah, for fuck's sake. Why, Neil Gaiman? Why can't you have been a better man? This one really hurts, some of his work is genuinely formative for me as a writer. Fuck.

My latest novel has been described as Reservoir Dogs meets The Shining so if that floats your boat I really hope you'll give it a go. “I am foolishly late to the party on Alan Baxter, but BLOOD COVENANT makes it clear I need to catch the hell up.” – Chuck Wendig

A total of four seats for the Greens, up from one, and Lib Dems up a massive 61 from 8. There's a story there, and the story is there are people who are left-leaning, but cannot vote for labour with a clear conscience. (Climate change ignored and anti-trans rhetoric.)

There is a 7 foot tall guy behind Rishi Sunak who likely ran for office just to be able to hold a printed out L behind him during his concession speech.

You could also call up your US rep and demand they join AOC in this move for impeachment. Can't pass the R House, but they HAVE to use their bully pulpit and rally the public. www.nydailynews.com/2024/07/01/a...

If your area got a new Labour MP then it is your duty to email them and say that you are happy the Tories are out but that transphobia should have no place in the party. Make Starmer gently walk back his support for Rowling's position!

Good result for Labour against the Tories in the UK, but the Reform result is pretty terrifying.

I think it’s telling that if you search “Trump AND rape” on the New York Times website you don’t get a single article mentioning the E. Jean Carroll case but if you search “Biden AND old” you get 18,026 hits.

People keep talking about how old Biden is. Trump is only 3 years younger! Has everybody lost their fucking mind? Biden is 81, Trump is 78. They're both old men. But Biden isn't a fascist while Trump is literally the worst kind of narcissistic self-proclaimed fash dictator. Jesus fucking christ.

Please, everyone. It would be politically seismic, hope dawning on the broken wasteland the Tories left behind, and most importantly of all it would be so fucking funny.

Signal Boost time. If you've got a creative project you want to promote, leave the details people need in replies, like a title or a link. If it's a crowdfunder pre-launch, let us know 2 weeks out. We'll include as many as we can in this week's issue of The Full Lid.

I've just noticed there's currently a sale on at Teepublic and everything in my store is more than 30% off. No idea why or for how long, but check it out! I have stuff related to my books, but also general horror stuff. T-shirts, caps, phone cases, etc.

When Democrats fantasize about unopposed power, they talk about giving everyone healthcare, education, childcare, civil rights, and a clean environment. When Republicans fantasize about unopposed power, they talk about killing literally everyone on earth. They are not the same.
