Being a reader lets you live a thousand different lives, but being a writer lets you create and destroy those lives as you laugh maniacally over your keyboard

@Dean29508957 @Romantic_Artist @yaronbrook Quote from his interview with Lex Fridman, right?

[L.H. Draken @lhdraken]

@LeeChildReacher Not ‘plausible’. A boring ending is plausible. It has to be surprising and inevitable to be -satisfying-.

I was tempted to wait around for him to finish and leave — and see if the phone rang randomly three times before going silent. #every90sCrimeStoryEver

[L.H. Draken @lhdraken]

I saw a guy using a phone booth this morning - just standing there like a villain demanding ransom for some hostage he has locked up in his basement. I mean... what other reason do we still have these installations for?! #ancientTech #crimeTools

This is actually sad to me. What a loss

I'm not exactly the world's most ardent Maoist, but Gongti was an important part of Beijing's architectural heritage. This is pure vandalism.

Me :*walking up to an Italian ticket counter* “Buongiorno - English?”
Him: “ooooooh. Only a _liiiiittle_ bit 😬”
Me : “damn. Then I’ll have to find someone else to debate the fallacies of the Machiavellian ethic 🙄” *walks off in disappointment*

Had a great conversation with @LenoreLuca about The Year of the Rabid Dragon and an illustrated copy of Art of War we put out last year. So much fun :) https://t.co/GUAMjLXeER

Has there ever been a time when the memes were so universal? When the whole world was doing the same thing in unison? People watched the moon landing, and the twin towers falling together, but has the experience ever been shared among us all like this? #COVID19

@blumhouse does @jason_blum want to do a Frankenstein movie? Im sitting on the draft of a modern thriller based on Wollstonecrafts Classic!

[Lex Fridman @lexfridman]

(6×9)+(6+9)=69. Coincidence? ... or more likely... the universe uses math to troll those of its inhabits who are sufficiently intelligent to discover arithmetic and memes. How else do you explain Gödel's incompleteness theorem?

**re-reads terribly written SMS

*slams coffee on desk, jams cigar into ashtray and yells at her secretary. “Where’s my copy editor ?!?”

Nasely NY accent shouts back, “he quit. Also, you’re self employed. You can’t afford a secretary” *poof of light n smoke. #writerslife

You know a book must be excellent, when these are the "Also-Boughts"

A #crimeWriter’s Christmas wish :

Mystery and intrigue
I wish you plenty,
but keep the murder
for twenty-twenty.

The CCP is nothing if not calculating ; but as the end of the article says, I have my doubts if govt. sponsored ‘Chinese’ religion will pan out of them longterm.

[Ian Johnson @iandenisjohnson]

In this piece for @nytopinion NYT Sunday Review, I look at how the Chinese government, for the first time since the fall of the imperial system, is constructing a civil religion based on traditional faiths--and rejecting Christianity and Islam.

Is a rebellion brewing among China's peasantry? Great article about why this probably isn't so -- https://t.co/otL9K9gMMG
