Abnett: "I've written a new book!"
beleaguered BL editor: "And how *long* is this new book?"
Abnett: "..."
A new two book novel from Dan Abnett is on its way later this year as a two book set.
Austerity, anarchy, and Arbites alongside threats unseen loom in the shadows of Hive.
Intrigued about the release as a two book set rather than in separate releases.

As soon as I see @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social has had @premeemohamed.com @margaret.bsky.social @decassette.bsky.social & Michael Moorcock producing work for them do I immediately sign up to the 2026 crowd funder??
Yes. Yes I do 🖤
...Plus I immediately ordered a back issue to tide me over 😅
Did a story on what RFK Jr. believes and how it ties into what some are describing as "soft eugenics." We also interviewed @bethmariem.bsky.social who did a piece last year digging into his beliefs. You can listen here or wherever you get your podcasts
In which I talk about Sir Ian Hamilton, Oswald Spengler, feminism, American train-car conductors and hotel clerks, Prime Minister Saionji Kinmochi, the Hibiya Park riots, the Russo-Japanese War, Guilty Gear, Assassin's Creed: Shadows, femboy erasure, and the perennial quest for a woke-free Japan.
We’re thrilled to share the news that Fuse client Bayana A. Davis’s TROUBLE THE WATERS has sold in a seven-way auction to Lois Evans at Knopf Books for Young Readers! Congratulations, Bayana!
Noting yet again that the Igynte Awards consistently find and honor some of the most intriguing work in the speculative field.
As a point of comparison, the US spent $21 billion in FY 2022 to feed billions of breakfasts and lunches to kids in schools across our whole country for an entire year under the universal school meals program that was later discontinued.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

Essential read: a statement from Cardinal Cupich. www.archchicago.org/statement/-/...
This is what ecocide looks like.
Cover of Suplex & Sorcery by June Orchid Parker; cover art by John Golden. The illustration shows Varika, a tattooed barbarian woman, punching a green-glowing skeleton in a wrestling ring, while a sorcerer in green and black casts fiery magic. In the background are a masked chorus and an audience seated in an Ancient Greek-style amphitheatre.
Ooh, pro wrestling discourse, too? What a wonderful day to be on Bsky! Anyway, coming soon: the main event of the summer.
"Two charismatic marsupial species that had been thought extinct for 6,000 years are alive in rainforest in remote West Papua."
Oh yeah this is super cool as both the pygmy long-fingered possum and ring-tailed glider were previously only known from fossils 🤯🧪🐀

Post See new posts Conversation Andrew Solender @AndrewSolender There is HEAVY pressure on Dems to get in line on this Iran war powers vote. Leadership is whipping a yes vote, progressive groups are threatening primary challenges, and I’m told Pelosi is currently giving Landsman a piece of her mind on the floor. https://axios.com/2026/03/04/democrats-iran-war-powers-vote-primary
Good. Every Democrat who doesn't do the bare minimum should obviously be obliterated at the next opportunity in their primaries. Glad leadership is whipping yes.
Folks will be - legitimately - furious with the Ds that voted no (leadership whipped hard for yes), but I think it is worth looking on the other hand: 98% of House Democrats (and 1% of House Republicans) just voted to try to block the president from waging war on Iran.
Iran! The Great Evil!

The doohickey is a manifestation of the Service Weapon from Control
A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.
A vote for Trump was a vote for the extinction of right whales.
The reality of an actual diplomatic process, with extended talks in Geneva or Vienna or Muscat and god forbid a five-page memo from the Iranians, was so daunting to the Trump administration (probably because they have fired or let go every seasoned diplomat) that they started a regional war instead.
