Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

An Illustrated Guide for Unhinged Times And a creative commons license

Since our government looks bent on starting the apocalypse early, I’m putting out the next big version of my illustrated survival guide. It’s almost 200 pages now. I’m also putting it under a creative commons license.

Exclusive: The First Excerpt from Stephen King and Peter Straub’s Ending to β€˜The Talisman’ Trilogy King tells us about β€˜Other Worlds Than These,’ where he’ll finish the saga after Straub’s deathβ€”and how his late friend’s ideas were resurrected for this epic goodbye.

The world is a dark place. I am looking for joy, and being able to read an excerpt from the sequel to Black House and The Talisman. This brings me such joy.

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a β€œthe city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

I figured out why, despite the fact that I 100% should hate it, I love Shrinking.

The dilemma/conflict of basically every episode is this cast of funny, warm characters, trying to figure out how to show up for each other and take care of themselves. No big villain. No big dramatic chaos.

Please don’t turn the Epstein files into a joke.
This is real for survivors.
Many former victims are realizing for the first time they were used by a system.
How this is discussed online matters.
Tread carefully.
