Behold, a partial reveal of the cover for my debut sci-fi novella! I’m told that in the book trade, this is called a “tease.” Full cover reveal and pre-order details coming soon!
This is the exchange between me and my son over the miserable last two innings of tonight’s O’s game:
Daughter has come home from New York and brought New York bagels (from Greenberg’s) so you know this is the world’s best daughter.
Got to see David Hockney’s Pearblossom Hwy., 11 - 18th April 1986, #2 at the Getty Center and I was captivated by it. It’s huge and draws you in. I could’ve looked at for hours, but had to settle for buying a print, framing it, and staring at that for the last 25 years. An amazing piece of art.
Nude Sliding Into Third Base, Aristide Maillol, 1938, on display at the Norton Simon Museum, Pasadena, California.
Are we sure Scott Bessent isn’t Will Ferrell reprising his George W. Bush impression?
This was the text exchange I had with my son about watching the game vs. showering. Still waiting.
FYI, New York Times Crossplay won’t take “brimp.” (Comic book readers may be familiar with this word.)
I have seen this mosaic with mine own eyes, on Brady Street (Avenue?) in Milwaukee. I wonder if there’s more than one.
I am now the proud owner of an Orioles denim crab hat. Thank you, @movie1935.bsky.social! Social media isn’t all terrible, it turns out.
My son texted me this after this latest Orioles loss. Me, too, kid. Me, too.
This is almost certainly going to get me into trouble with Audible or Burger King. Listen to Moriarty here: audible.com/moriarty
Visited the Moriarty billboard Audible put up on the Sunset Strip. I haven’t had enough shows with billboards to get jaded about it yet, and I hope I never do (get jaded; I’d like to have more shows with billboards promoting them, please.)
Our friends at Audible added some nifty motion graphics to the trailer for Moriarty: The Great Chaos. Have a listen below, then have a listen to the whole show here: audible.com/moriarty

This might just look like a stack of paper, but it’s actually the final draft of my sci-fi novella INTO THE GREAT, coming later this year from Li’l Factory AB. I don’t know the exact release date yet, but wheh I do, I guarantee I won’t shut up about it. lilfac.com/books
Look at this pumpernickel bagel brought back from New York for me by my brilliant wife. Look at it. It is perfect.
Maybe he can name it the “Trump National Security Ballroom and Top Secret Military Installation and Global Summit Meeting Place and Ballroom.” He would, too, because he is out of his fucking mind.
Some have told me I’m too “out of shape” and “lazy” to have an athleisure line, that middle-aged animation producers should just stick to making cartoons. My response? I would, but the business is terrible right now! So…introducing Futzing Around by Elliot Blake, full line available now.
