After seeing the amazing trailer for The Long Walk, I was trying to convince my kids to read it as it is one of my favorite stories. I grabbed my copy of The Bachman Books and flipped through it and noticed this on the title page for The Running Man.

@stephenking.bsky.social was very prescient.

I had fun working on this feature that is included in today's release of iOS 18.2 and watchOS 11.2.

There are now awards for your lifetime total of closing all three rings and they are retroactively awarded after you update.

I love libraries. As a latchkey kid I basically grew up in my local library. As an adult, finding my books in the library is how I knew I had made it as a writer. Please use and support your local library, they're incredibly important to your community and to the country.
I always love when authors speak approvingly of libraries.

I mean, I'd LIKE to be able to buy a copy of every book I've ever liked, but in between financial and spatial requirements ...

So, yeah, the library is where it's at. For this, and many other reasons.

This is a shameful time in our history.

ALL of this anti-trans panic is manufactured by a group of legislators and creeps who are having ACTUAL sexual scandals every single day.

They want a distraction and they don't care who gets hurt.

To hell with them.

I stand with Trans folk 100%.
There are 530 anti-trans bills moving, here's a digest of them to grasp the magnitude!

Trans care bans for adults are a thing now. Bathroom and drag bans have proceeded.

Blue states fight back.

david is just a joy to read i will even read about the xfl
and sports gambling two subjects i have never even given a thought to tbh
This is about the XFL and sports gambling and I wasn't going to post it here because I don't want to overdo it on the self-promo. I am doing so because it led my therapist to say "you mean Dwayne Johnson?" during our session today. https://defector.com/over-and-under-in-the-xfl-championship

Some work friends got me into the NYT mini crosswords in late 2019. After awhile I started playing the daily crossword as well.

Tonight I completed one full year of finishing it before the end of the day it’s for. (For those that don’t know, the next day’s crossword is released the evening before.)
