Joey’s fingers graze the rough stuff on top of the board. “Feel this,” he says. Aspen leans over and runs her hand down the length, like she’s petting a cat. — Jamie Hawley (@onlynarrative.bsky.social), “End of the Line” in Issue 20 vastliterarypress.org/2026/10/17/2...

Vance's release date is June 16! Also searching communion by bell hooks or communion book hooks, etc. is a fun and free way to keep hooks near the top of search results.

an important thing to remember in the "is this what they voted for" discourse is that the average voter is so fucking dumb that it would bend your understanding of the human mind

I didn’t realize there were still discoveries to be made in the field of egg-cracking. This is why we must fund science.

The Associated Press@apnews.com

New experiments show eggs are less likely to crack when they fall on their side.

It’s commonly thought that eggs are strongest at their ends because the arc-shaped bottom redirects the force of the impact and softens the blow.

I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel

The guy answering phones at Rep. Mann's Manhattan KS office said that basically no one else has called to express concern over the leak putting our military in danger. Apparently I'm the ONLY person in all of KS 1 that thinks it's an issue & am unreasonable for calling. Their phone # is 785-370-7277

USAID matters. I've often disagreed with their strategy and choices, but their work saves more lives than any philanthropy can. It's a rounding error in the federal budget, and one of the best things we do as a country. To see it destroyed overnight by one unelected man is an unmitigated horror.

What he's announcing is a concentration camp. A deeply illegal, unconstitutional, anti-human rights atrocity. Anyone who supports this is complicit. Anyone in any federal service, military or otherwise, is morally obligated to refuse to carry out any orders related to this deeply criminal act.

Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo. "Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."

Hi! Some-time lurker, first time poster. For this week’s @newyorker.com, I dove into a romantasy plagiarism lawsuit that raises deeper questions about tropes, authorship, and the grubby imperatives of selling books in a post-literate world. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

newyorker.comDid a Best-Selling Romantasy Novelist Steal Another Writer’s Story?Tracy Wolff, the author of the “Crave” series, is being sued for copyright infringement. But romantasy’s reliance on standardized tropes makes proving plot theft tricky.

Wild listening to this episode as a Kansan. It’s like listening to an episode titled “Here’s Everything You Vaguely Remember from Your KU PoliSci Degree.”
