Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

I can’t recommend Shepherd enough for readers and authors alike. It’s leagues above Goodreads in its execution and a fantastic resource for marketing and book recommendations.

Browse through and see for yourself.

Concerning things happening in Eastern Europe. I would hope the statements of world leaders from The Hague might make bigger headlines.

War should not be treated as game for people who are more interested in garnering profit from global trade than preserving life.

I have 0 love for the authoritarian regime governing Iran, but I do have love for the people struggling under it.

One should expect tact from our commander and chief.

There’s not many tests more important for a work than @igreggreene.bsky.social‘s opinion. I hope you enjoy the collection.
I got an ARC of @martinkearns.bsky.social’s horror collection, KINDER, which just got released May 20! I got to know Martin through his excellent write-ups in the Laird Barron Read-Along last year ⭐️

Ok. I admit it. I’m a flat out sucker for sprayed edges. I absolutely love them. And with his fantastic novel HORROR MOVIE @paultremblay.bsky.social has taken sprayed edges to a whole new level. Just look at ‘em!! 😍

MonsterMania Con in Cherry Hill was a blast. Horror fans remain unmatched when it comes to a good hang. Sold some books 📚, jazzed about the topics we adore, and, of course, #JonathonMaberry came up often.

I’m bitterly upset to learn about the passing of Emilie Dequenne. Not exactly a unique take, but screw cancer…

Brotherhood of the Wolf remains one of my favorite movies.

The idea of scarcity leading to innovation is sooooo proven when there’s half a basket of fries left and the ketchup’s run out.

I get criticized for my ☕️ coffee (by the weak)

Taking the first sip of a brew I’ve made at home for the first time in a number of days and I’m nodding slowly…

People may be right. This shit is a bit harsh.

The sheer contrast between driver habits in northern NH and those in souther Mass/Conn is shocking.

Imagine this guy deciding to murder a man and ask yourself why.

“Mangione attended an elite Baltimore prep school, graduating as valedictorian in 2016... In his graduation speech, he talked about his classmates’ “incredible courage to explore the unknown and try new things.”

Which is more defining for these times?

The fact that a man known as “the assassin” shot the CEO of a major medical insurance company and SO many people are openly cheering on social media.

Or

The fact that SO many people want to sleep with “the assassin” and readily make content about that.
