Exchange between @jonstewart and @DepSecDef Kathleen Hicks on the defense budget: "I can't figure out how $850 billion to a department means that the rank and file still have to be on food stamps. To me, that's fucking corruption."

"It raises for us whether you in fact want to keep working for @nypresbyterian."

Taped where?? Nice painting, but I'm not seeing a mask.

@Jesse_A_Adams @ChuckWendig @MultiverseCon I too am super-excited about @multiverseCon -- it's only my second time as a convention guest. I feel like a real writer! October 18-20 in Atlanta

@Haje Thanks!

[Scott Hawkins @scottrhawkins]

@vein_of_silver There has been some interest, but I'm not supposed to talk about it. As far as whether anything will ultimately happen, your guess is probably as good as mine.

Thanks @!KeithRice1 ! We'll see... https://t.co/nxg7QOTn4o

@stuckoverflow It is weirdly similar tho. I was all set to lawyer up when the not-Margaret kid went looking for his dead Father in the afterlife, but it turns out Umbrella Academy was published in 2008.

I don't *remember* reading it...

[Scott Hawkins @scottrhawkins]

@stuckoverflow Your tweet was the first I heard of it, but I watched ep1 last night. I really like it so far! Doubly weird in that Ellen Page was high on my fantasy casting list for Carolyn.

@veschwab @catvalente @neilhimself @misterkristoff @garthnix @nkjemisin @ArsenaultRivera @silviamg @IndrapramitDas Holy crap! Now that's a distinguished list, from a brilliant and gracious lister. Grinning from ear to ear. Thanks @veschwab!

[Scott Hawkins @scottrhawkins]

@austin_p_snyder @marniebalboa @StephenKing IT is a legit classic, but I actually prefer The Stand. YMMV. Swing back by Mount Char when you're done, though.

@daejin_v2 I get some variation of "WTF did I just read?" in probably 25-30% of my goodreads reviews. Add in "weirdest thing I've ever read" and we're probably closer to 40%. I think that's my answer.

I just got back from #FirstMan. *I* thought it was 10/10 amazing. Engaging, beautifully shot, with impeccable performances and holy shit the soundtrack. Best movie I've seen since #Whiplash (same director).

I'd also say this is one where big screen is the way to go.

[Scott Hawkins @scottrhawkins]

@ChappyZach 1. I have in fact finished a manuscript (last week), but it's still going to be a while.
2. I just started House of Leaves--I'm liking it quite a bit. Very Halloween. I also do Salem's Lot around this time most years.

[Scott Hawkins @scottrhawkins]

I thought this was really interesting: a company has come up with a three word code for every room-sized space on earth. The idea is to use it in place of GPS coordinates, and in places without clearly defined street names. Worth a read. https://t.co/RQysxcONG9

[Scott Hawkins @scottrhawkins]

@sethjdickinson I think it would depend on the volume of the metal in the cast. Anything from "ash" to "still perky enough to complain" is plausible. There's a Red Bull Science video of tossing body-sized organic waste into lava--nothing left. But a guy in 1998 briefly survived full immersion

[Scott Hawkins @scottrhawkins]

I had a really nice time speaking today at @LagrangeCollege in celebration of #BannedBooksWeek - Fun batch of folks at that school. The whole town was really nice, honestly.
