the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Nothing enrages an evil man more than the sight of people doing good. Nothing makes him more furious than the realization that deep down, we aren't all like him. That we find his thoughts abhorrent, his beliefs foul, and his soul festering and corrupt.

the president demanding that one of the primary engines of the country’s economy — thousands of companies, trillions of dollars — rename their core products to suit his whim is tinpot dictatorship shit, and the only reason it doesn’t feel like it is because no one is listening to him

I think people with more traditional ideas about gender roles are likelier to gravitate towards the Greek system. I did not, lived in coed housing, and thus my friend group was more mixed.

My man is simply terrified of what his legacy will be and how he’ll be remembered and is haunted by the knowledge that he is incapable of doing anything that would ensure he is remembered in the way he wants. It’s kinda Shakespearean.

The thing that really needs to be made clear is not so much that whatever they might try would be illegal (that goes without saying, and is not really the point) It's that, if the want to mash the giant button that says CIVIL CONFLICT on it, it is not going to go well for them

You probably think this is a touch of hyperbole. If you do, that just tells me not only are you not paying attention, you are actively ignoring all the trans people this has happened to. This is life in the UK as a trans person in 2026.

it was important for me to call this out. King, though I love him, has been getting away with nakedly hateful fatphobia for half a century now and the majority of readers seem to have handwaved it, but I can't. (a shout out to @megelison.bsky.social, though, who's been banging this drum for years)

And King has never created a fat character he didn’t insist on treating as a disgusting spectacle. In “Other Worlds Than These,” there’s a particularly insulting episode concerning a family of fat people; King seems to take perverse pleasure in commenting on their “elephantine thighs” and “huge rolls of flesh.” Jack speculates that the family’s front porch “must have been specially reinforced to take the combined weight of such behemoths,” and when the daughter attempts to rape and kill him in his bed that night, she “lands on him like a truck falling off a jack,” breaking the bed frame. I wonder if it has ever occurred to King that fat people read his books, too.

Again this makes me wonder, do cosmetic plastic surgeons take the Hippocratic Oath? If I went to an abdominal surgeon and asked them to remove my appendix for no reason they'd say no and refer me to a psychiatrist but apparently no request is too much for some of these guys.
