I have new story coming in the Sunday Morning Transport ( @morningtransport.bsky.social) the first Sunday in June! I’m so excited to share it with you, but in the meantime, sign up to read great fiction (by people who aren’t me) every Sunday before and after too! www.sundaymorningtransport.com

And now they want to give him a big payout w your money!

“Instead of student loan forgiveness we’re doing a coup forgiveness program”

taking tax dollars to pay insurrectionists. which (by the way) the 14th amendment is supposed to prohibit: "[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States...."

We'll just have to start tagging them on here one by one. @stephenking.bsky.social are you in?

It's Not Either/Or. It's Both/And. On Blink YA & Undermining Literary Choice. Young people need access to *all kinds* of books, not just those that pass some kind of purity test. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

How do Americans feel about the war? We asked ten big city homosexuals to share their thoughts.

Idk why this is making the rounds again but I said then and I’ll say it now, these people are fucking weird. This is a weird thing to say out loud and believe.

We can’t have nice things. Well, nice might be an overstatement. But perfect things. Sigh.

The Trump administration is digging coal miners’ graves.

The maker of jets that crashed and killed everyone onboard and the carmaker fined tens of millions for mishandled recalls have suddenly decided to sponsor their top regulator's reality show purely for the love of the open road www.wsj.com/business/boe...

Pretty good way to pay and incentivize foot soldiers to do your bidding, even if it crosses lines. This is basically how warlords control territory in the absence of a functioning law and order state.

Trump bought $1 million-$5 million worth of Nvidia stock a week before Nvidia announced a major deal with Meta. The previous month, Trump bought $500,000-$1 million worth of Nvidia stock a week before the Commerce Department approved the sale of Nvidia chips to China. www.notus.org/money/donald...

He’s a make-a-wish kid without the inherent likability.

So today was the Anthropic case Fairness Hearing for the settlement with authors. Anyone know anything about how it went?

"You gotta be willing to look at all fraud." Meanwhile: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/n...

They mistakenly believe there is a vas deferens between what the Constitution doesn’t authorize and what it expressly prohibits.

incredibly depressing that the reimposition of jim crow districts across the entire south is getting nothing more than generic horse race coverage

In Utah, nearly all statewide book bans originate from just 2 school districts, sending novels to the shredder, Tribune finds. www.sltrib.com/news/educati...

The relevant portion of the Jason Collins discussion

It really is inexcusable that the NYT maintains a "free speech on campus" reporter who DOESN'T COVER OFFICIAL, POLITICALLY-MOTIVATED CENSORSHIP OF SPEECH ON CAMPUS. At some point you're actively deceiving the public, no?

The Tennessee Speaker of the House will remove all Democratic Caucus members from standing committees and subcommittees as punishment for their redistricting protests. Democracy dies in Nashville.

Trump: "What a job our military is doing with respect to drugs coming in by sea. Meaning, drugs coming in by water. A lot of people know what I mean by 'sea.' They think I'm taking about vision."

Republican partisans on the Supreme Court have gone from putting their thumb on the scale, as in the days of Bush v. Gore or even Citizens United, to setting their whole ass on it.

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

WE DON'T NEED PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS ANYMORE! "The [bamboo plastic] outperforms most commercial plastics and bioplastics in mechanical and thermo-mechanical metrics while maintaining full biodegradability in soil within 50 days and closed-loop recyclability with 90% retained strength."

I need everyone to see The Sheep Detectives so that Hollywood makes more family movies like The Sheep Detectives.

The Trump admin has quietly lifted sanctions on at least 145 individuals and companies. Many appear to benefit corrupt officials and well-connected allies. Congress should demand answers, write @adamofkeith.bsky.social and Amanda Strayer of @humanrightsfirst.org:

"Democratic Rep. Kim Schrier of Washington pressed Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to reassure parents that the vitamin K shot is safe. He refused and pushed back..." www.propublica.org/article/more...

2000 Flushes-ass pool

lol, they gave Artemis II astronaut (and Philadelphia sports fan) Christina Koch an astronaut Gritty

Is that what it looks like? Is it?

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

They put one of yours in the hospital, you put out a statement about how disappointed you are. That’s the centrist way.

We honestly don’t talk enough about how the GOP is just allowed to shit on urban cities. If Dems pulled this with rural areas, it would be on the news cycle for WEEKS!

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

Alabama House speaker said he hopes SCOTUS “will overturn Amendment 14,” the one that made Black people citizens and guaranteed equal protection under law. It wasn’t just a slip. Today’s newsletter. 👉 link.al.com/public/45636...

How am I supposed to make satire when headlines like this are real 😭 x.com/aprilajoyr/s...

Virginia Gov @abigailspanberger.com and Democratic legislature should pass immediate legislation to redistrict anyway. If the old confederate states can do it post Callais - so can Dems in Virginia if they care about saving our democracy.

Trump called in as MAGA religious leaders dedicated the giant golden statue of himself at his Doral golf club

This currently has a much better sales rank than my most successful book, so I’m just gonna have to sit with that a moment.

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

Wow. So voters approve redistricting in Virginia which would help Democrats and court strikes it down. But legislators in multiple states erase Black voting districts across the country and that’s okay with courts? Is this really Democracy? https://loom.ly/qZwDzyQ

“Frog, do not worry,” cried Toad. “I am coming to help you!” Toad ran out of his house.

“The most common theme in the banned non-fiction books was activism and social movements. ‘These titles help students learn about their rights and the stories of those who confronted injustice and participated in social movements to change the world around them.’”
