Long after you’ve died alone and broke in prison we’ll still be coming to terms with the damage you’ve done to our country and how many “good Americans” followed you. You are a once-in-a-century blight on humanity’s goodness.
WOW!!!! SPEECHLESS. RECURSION won the Goodreads Choice award for Best Science Fiction!!! Massive gratitude to everyone who took the time to vote and support my books. A seriously amazing and humbling thrill.
JUST IN: A U.S. fighter jet shot down an unidentified flying object over Canada's Yukon territory, at the direction of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, officials said.

tell yourself whatever you want but you’re a bully. instead of creating a profile of a writer you held up the mirror to yourself. it’s not pretty.

Honestly, just keep making The Mandalorian great. We don't need a bazillion Star Wars, we need a few great entries in this series. Original content would be cool too.
Upgrade made the final round in the Goodreads People’s Choice Award, alongside some excellent books. Thanks to everyone who voted to advance Upgrade this far. So honored! Final voting closes tomorrow…

Why I’m withdrawing RECURSION from consideration for ITW’s Thriller Award Book of the Year… Recently, two women came forward to the ITW board expressing concerns about a man’s membership and attendance at ITW events (and awards)... /1

Congratulations... We're all living in the multiverse's stupidest timeline.
I grew up in the South. I am all for tearing down every Confederate monument. It's not erasing history. It's erasing the glorification of racist generals. Anyone can still learn about how the Confederacy was an awful place and got its ass justly destroyed in books and museums.
It’s time to acknowledge that fundamentalist, evangelical christians are a greater threat to American freedom than Al-Qaeda ever was. They want to destroy our way of life. We are at war.
As we wind down 2019, I wanted to share with you my annual list of favorites that made the last year a little brighter. We’ll start with books today — movies and music coming soon. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.
so thrilled to see this on the HBO Max landing page! my show (with
@chad_hodge
) about a thief and a hitman who find each other in the most unexpected of places. very different than my sci-fi stuff but also not different b/c it’s all about character…
It's a dream come true to get to make Upgrade with

, a company whose films have had such a profound impact on me as a novelist, screenwriter, and lover of great storytelling. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen.

Trump wants us to kill each other. This impotent, soulless madman thrives during chaos. Send him and his disgusting family packing this November. Another four years of this and we won't have a country anymore.
Arrest Donald Trump TODAY. Not tomorrow. Not for his legion of financial crimes in the coming months. TODAY. He caused this. He orchestrated this. What the fuck.
You know the primary sign America is finally opening up again after Covid? Mass shootings. My desire not to die in one of those is more important than your hillbilly gun fetish.
Nothing much happening today. Just watching our democracy getting knifed to death by a bunch of self-interested cowards. Never forget who these people are.
But there are far more urgent issues at hand than honoring books, and it’s time that organizations such as ITW and Bouchercon either become an immediate part of the solution or go away. end/
Serious question: at what point do Americans say enough of our racist president’s behavior and shut this country down until our leaders amputate this gangrenous limb before it poisons the entire body?

! “Ampoules Remaining”, oil on panel, 13”x19”, NFS. One of my favorite things is exploring mark-making and textures to get across the energy in scenes like this one.
another mass shooting, this one a little north of chicago in highland park at a 4th of July parade. heartbroken. this is the country republican-fascists are building for us. happy fourth to the united guns of america. if you give a shit about america i hope you vote.
Only a third-rate, piece of sh*t, wannabe dictator needs a fence like that around the White House. How scared are you

of the people you represent?
My reading view. One day, cover to cover: UPGRADE (out this July). From the renegade philosopher thriller/science fiction novelist
@blakecrouch1
who writes with his guts and humanness on every page.
Real question: do you think
@realDonaldTrump
has shed a single human tear for a lost American life? Related question: how many American deaths would he be OK with if it ensures his retention of power?
