Yes.

Goddamn. What a sobering and poignant piece of conceptual art. What an amazing artist.

Someone is going to name a character they're killing off after my worst neighbor I FEEL LIKE A GOD

This is why being friends w other authors is the BEST

Read some upcoming books while I was traveling that were RILL GUD -- a quick thread

GOOD BOY by @talkscaredpod.bsky.social was one of the best dang horror novellas I've read; McRobert is a natural storyteller, and draws you into an intimate tale of good and evil with powerful ease

In your opinion, how does this compare to last year’s trade for Hines-Allen?

Book cover of The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler. All caps text at bottom reads “A major motion picture starring Robert Mitchum as the legendary Philip Marlowe”

Book cover of The Running Man by Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s face is at the center, and all caps alt text reads: “see the electrifying movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger”

Pretty neat. Made me check and see if I had any movie tie-ins and I found these. Not gonna lie, I’m rather proud of King’s The Running Man.

Gather by Kenneth M. Cadow is so good. Reminiscent of Kingsolver’s Demon Copperhead—rural setting, extremely likable main character with a distinct, compelling voice, drug addiction wreaking havoc on homes. Loved the “Gather” theme running straight through the book. 📚💙

The Packers catching strays in the pop tart website comments! Love it.

Sorry to link to these knuckleheads but can't find other substantial coverage yet. Legal resident. No criminal record. No due process. No interpreter. We are unmoored.

Thank you very much for the thoughtful response!

Hi! When deciding comps, do POV and tense matter? (Should they match the book that’s being queried?) What’s the most important thing you look for in comps?

Vomit.

The Celtics may have won the Jrue Holiday trade — but the city of Boston lost Holiday will forever be remembered as a core member of the Celtics’ championship team — but his off-court work in Boston is equally consequential.

Descriptions earlier in the book of Ant’s upbringing and his personality/character also made it really easy to understand how certain things happened during the draft process. Really fun and illuminating read.

Really enjoying Ant by Chris Hine. The chapter on his unique draft process, prolonged by COVID, was eye-opening. The backstory on the infamous ESPN piece, the Golden State workout, and the Timberwolves evaluation was excellent.

I have a lot followers on here and I know it’s because I ended up on NBA lists and not Timberwolves lists. So making a hard sell.

If you’re a supporter of journalism, of learning the humanizing stories behind the athletes you watch, please help support “Ant.” www.harpercollins.com/products/ant...

Sheesh this one hits hard. Rubio one of my favorite players of all time. His selfless, pass-first game stood out in the iso-heavy NBA. His ACL injury was soul-crushing--I'll always wonder what could have been with his career.

Cannot wait to dive into this. Congratulations on the book, @christopherhine.bsky.social!

The Agony and the Ecstasy of Rooting for Karl-Anthony Towns The first-year Knick has a good head on his shoulders, and more often than not, he also has his head in the clouds. That combination can be frustrating for fans—but it’s also what’s made him a driving...

The White House is sued over lack of sign language interpreters at press briefings The National Association of the Deaf says the White House's failure to provide ASL interpreters during press briefings leaves some deaf and hard of hearing people without information.

Looking forward to following your live tweets on Monday! Curious, are we getting a recap article from you for game 3? Always look forward to your honest and intelligent analysis. Thanks!

I doubt that I would have given this missive from Pope Francis my attention were it not for a steer from @bcdreyer.social, but I really can’t recommend it enough.

Rising Autism Rates Are Not an ‘Epidemic’ Autism rates are rising, but RFK, Jr., is wrong about the reasons. Here’s what the science says

What are the real reasons autism diagnoses are up? Better diagnosis primarily, and possibly more older parents or better neonatal survival.
What reasons have been ruled out? Vaccines. RFK Jr. repeats this lie, but it's a lie www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...

Time to throw up a bat signal for a specific skillset for @skypeascientist.bsky.social

We have a classroom that is looking for a scientist who can do a session with them in ASL.

Do we know any scientists who would be willing to do a Q&A with a deaf classroom in ASL?

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen
