@andrewkarre.bsky.socialEven if you wanted to forget that Donald Trump is in the group chat, he would never let you.
@andrewkarre.bsky.socialIf only intelligent humans with uteruses were afforded the same rights of self-regulation.
@andrewkarre.bsky.socialThis was YESTERDAY—September 29, 2026. The entire Republican party is in the Chi Phi group chat.
This is effectively an administration-led event. To even allow Brand in the building is absurd. To laugh at his rape joke? Chilling.
@andrewkarre.bsky.socialThe Meta Perv Glasses ought to be so toxic that allowing them to become associated with the Ray-Ban brand is undesirable for any price. I doubt that's how it will play out, but I'd love to be wrong. Apparently the deal with Luxottica (owner of Ray-Ban and Oakley) runs into 2030.

@andrewkarre.bsky.social"An officer engaged a domestic terrorist with his CTG-5 G.L.O.V.E., but the domestic terrorist moved erratically, and the officer feared the terrorist was reaching for his gun, so the hero-patriot officer had no choice but to neutralize the terrorist."—a White House spokesperson in 2027.
@andrewkarre.bsky.socialIn 1998, my roommate and I ceased to have a CD player. Instead we had an American Water player.
@andrewkarre.bsky.socialI’m so happy to have this advance copy in my hands. It’s a culmination of years of work. I can’t wait for everyone to have a chance to read it. 4/4
@andrewkarre.bsky.socialSUFFER A WITCH was an extra challenge in every dimension, from writing craft to archival research to personal reflection, and Joy met it all with breathtaking courage and grace. 3/4
@andrewkarre.bsky.socialSuffice it to say, we have had many more phone calls in the decade since. I am enormously, proud of the body of work it has been my privilege to help Joy create. 2/4
@andrewkarre.bsky.socialIn Sept., it’ll have been 10 years since I received BLOOD WATER PAINT by @joymccullough.bsky.social as a sub. Sometime that month, Joy and I had our first call. I believe I was in the upstairs dining area of a Whole Foods in Manhattan. I don’t remember why, but the call went well. 1/4
@andrewkarre.bsky.socialWhoever’s holding a cute bath picture of baby Pau Cubarsí, now’s the time.
@andrewkarre.bsky.socialTurning on the Telemundo World Cup broadcast and encountering Tom Cruise… What a world.
@andrewkarre.bsky.socialWe left Michigan and 500+ for the “relief” of low hundreds in St. Paul yesterday.
@andrewkarre.bsky.socialIf only I could.
@andrewkarre.bsky.socialThe second scroll bar Word creates in the "list" comments view is a work of pure fiction. Just ridiculous.
@andrewkarre.bsky.socialAnother Word update, another version where auto-correct is broken in comments—among other things. We'll tell our grandkids about the pre-AI, pre-corporate enshitification years, when occasionally big software companies cared about improving apps for their most skilled users. No one will believe us.
@andrewkarre.bsky.socialMalik Tillman was born in Germany. JD is still sad and confused.
@andrewkarre.bsky.socialThree cheers for Bosnia’s gaffer. I hope he has a yacht to go with that blazer.
@andrewkarre.bsky.socialWell that was an unexpected jinx.
