Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?
Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Big fan of Cooper Boardman in the Sox booth
That Duran call was ELECTRIC (as someone who no longer has access to NESN without cable). I love my Will, but Cooper is great! #fulllizard @lennydinardo.bsky.social

We lost something as a nation when we lost the mass market paperback format.
I mean this with aaaaaall of my heart: a mass market paperback edition with a stepback cover and/or cut-through is THE DREAM. Thank you, Justin, for seeing its ideal format!!
Hey @natcassidy.bsky.social ideally When The Wolf Comes Home would've been pocket-sized w a cut-thru window to an even-scarier inner cover but otherwise YES, channeling some prime 80s carnage and genuine weirdness beyond the premise. You earned that denouement, dammit, and great use of Roger Rabbit.
