Hi everyone,As you’ve probably noticed, changes are afoot around here. First, The Unspeakable Podcast is slowly being renamed The Unspeakeasy.

Was fun to do this @nytimes interview about writing, reading, and my new book THE CATASTROPHE HOUR. Plus, this drawing makes me look younger. https://t.co/oHmUFHGFp1
Same.
I don’t understand people who keep the window shade down on a plane. We’re 35 thousand feet in the sky. You don’t want to check out the view? We’re above the freaking clouds, for God’s sake. Humans could only dream of a view like this for millennia. And you have the shade down.
