That's a killer run. I'd go to The Stand, Different Seasons, and Under the Dome.

β€œEvery hour so many damn things in the sky! How in hell did those bombers get up there every single second of our lives! Why doesn’t someone want to talk about it! We’ve started and won two atomic wars since 2022! Is it because we’re having so much fun at home we’ve forgotten the rest of the world? Is it because we’re so rich and the rest of the world’s so poor and we just don’t care if they are? I’ve heard the rumors; the world is starving, but we’re well fed. Is it true, the world works hard and we play? Is that why we’re hated so much? ... Maybe the books can get us half out of the cave. They just might stop us from making the same damn insane mistakes!”

Midway through Fahrenheit 451, we learn that the U. S. government has launched a series of unprovoked wars against smaller countries, just because it can, while the population is so hypnotized by amusements & devices that hardly anyone knows the wars are taking place.

An open letter to Grammarly and other plagiarists, thieves and slop merchants To everyone at Grammarly, I am writing a book right now, a really challenging endeavor that no doubt someone in Silicon Valley will think it’s fine to steal the day it’s published. I’ve been a profes...

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

Hahahaha this poster. But YES, it was fucking scary! I saw it alone in the theater and basically ran out when the credits hit cuz I was afraid someone else was hiding in there.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Cell is seen as straight to video trash but honestly it's an improvement on the novel for me. One of the few books I almost hated

If you make + share STEPHEN KING THINGS, I implore you to consider NOT using AI. Cute art, LLMs, any of it. Not a subtweet, I'm just not gonna go bother anyone working hard making SK stuff that I love to follow/read/listen to. Just a thought 🫢🏻🌹

So glad that I've read everything Stephen King has written - it will come in handy 2026 on The Losers' Club podcast - I'm one of The Losers to rank ALL 66 of his novels this year!

Can you guess what ended up in the bottom spot?

Yeah, very personal choice and only when you're ready. You'll get lost, have a blast, get SO much Wampler, elite GMing by Jacob Hall. Looks like eps 1-4 are public starting here podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... I think you have to hit Patreon if you want the pregame Episode 0 and rest of the saga

It's my least favorite Holly story (one of 3-4 duds), I could definitely offer a roadmap to 3-4 better books starring her, but if you're just starting out with King, that roadmap would not go straight to MUCH more Holly. Not right away.

Hell yeah! I had a somewhat similar journey. Read the Tower, read The Talisman, spent years rereading the Tower several times before finally hitting Black House last year. Third one is going to be a big moment!
