What’s with the Republican candidates NOT identifying themselves? No elephant symbol? Using blue 🔵 as a primary color in their ads instead of that bloody red 🔴 Never saying ANYTHING about being REPUBLICAN in their ads No party recognition or pride? Hiding…playing peek-a-boo with the voters

I agree with @stephenking.bsky.social though: the only things missing are stories by @cgolden.bsky.social and @briankeene.bsky.social Oh, Discordia! Laws yes! Thank you for giving us #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt

#TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt While not every story will curl your toes, this book stands at the beginning, middle and end. It walks along the train tracks. It lands its friends safely on the beam and pursues its enemies across the desert. Everyone is lonely. All are scared. The world moves on.

@natcassidy.bsky.social’s The Unfortunate Convalescence Of The SuperLawyer in #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt What to say? “Immensely unsatisfying” that it’s over? “A second chance” to consider what The Stand offered? An ear worm of Beatles hits?🎶 An effort to waylay Discordia? Whatever…It is a doozy!💕🙌

Sadly😞that is the same odd open-mouth smile my mother wore after a major stroke. She thought she was perfectly fine, completely competent, and fully capable. Rehab did help her relearn how to feed herself, but not with decision making. She walked down busy two-lane rural roads with no sidewalks.

@catvalente.bsky.social’s Came The Last Night Of Sadness in #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Now this story…🎶🎶🎶 to my King-fed soul! Such perfection in the telling. Scenes and dreams and all those little Dark Tower twangs! Mission accomplished! The world after The Stand recognized and carried on.

@premeemohamed.com’s Hunted To Extinction in #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Bracingly cold, this story makes you crave more of Val’s future. Loved the choice of name for Martin. Readers of Stephen King should appreciate the relevance. Made me smile.

@chuckwendig.bsky.social’s Grand Junction in #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt An homage to The Stand that gives me that same thrill I felt when I read the first lines of #TheGunslinger. The tone, the undercurrent, the guns. A crossover gut feeling. A world emptied but savage. A story well told.

Abagail’s Gethsemane by Wayne Brady and @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social In #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt I am content now. Someone tackled Abigail’s story for us. And it’s everything it should be. Lordy! Still wiping the tears away! Her grace and strength flow from the words!

@joeabercrombie.com’s #ShatteredSea series. Vibrantly told. Characters built for treachery, grief, cunning, and heart. Pages painted with color and screaming with sound. Believable action scenes balanced by a seething battle of strong wills and coercion. Rare treat for epic lovers of all ages!

@paultremblay.bsky.social ’s The Story I Tell Is The Story Of Some Of Us in #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Interesting use of the word “fulcrum”. I like it. Commendable usage. It’s a cool device. Like a boss down D chord.

I’m an American…plain and simple Never had the luxury to visit Yosemite, not yet, because I have worked my tail off every year of my adult life. And YES! The very idea of ANYONE giving away even a single acre of MY AMERICAN CROWN JEWEL PARK to a developer of any kind BURNS MY GRITS!!!

Only @joshmalerman.bsky.social could write a story about a man’s true devotion to The Real Captain Trips but name the story for an Alice Cooper song. “I Love The Dead” wrecks the Dead Heads, but in such a lovely feelin’ good way! Found in #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt

@almakatsu.bsky.social’s Make Your Own Way in #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Strength in self, strength in women, strength in mind and body. Those are demonstrated in the story where a young woman makes her own way. She’s the embodiment of The Stand.

@mjkoryta.bsky.social Just finished Kovach’s Last Case in #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Glad to see even our gritty stoic detectives have a lot to consider and reflect upon after Captain Trips’ visit. It’s not always a bad thing to “live your job”. 🫆🕵🏻‍♂️🩸💉🪝

The African Painted Dog by @catrionaward.bsky.social Enchanting? Can I use that word for a story born out of the horror of The Stand? #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Yes, yes, I can! Enchanting. Delightful. But not a Dr. Dolittle story for the kiddies. Nope!

@richardchizmar.bsky.social ’s Moving Day in #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt A good example of The Stand as dramatic horror. People rising from a devastatingly horrible catastrophe and yes, evil surfaces within people stories. Chizmar writes people stories with conviction. It’s a beautiful talent! 💕

Wrong Fucking Place, Wrong Fucking Time by @crobertcargill.bsky.social in #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Can’t dislike a story that comes close to what I would do myself if I lived through CaptainTrips. “…tonight’s gonna be fun.” Thanks for the Trip through the movies!

My absolute favorite part of the movie. She captured the name Circe, put it in her pocket, and made it hers. All others…stand aside! Samantha Morton has taken center stage.
