Philip Fracassi@pfracassi.bsky.social

Thrilled to share that I just signed a new studio deal to adapt one of my stories. It's been an incredible couple years and I'm so humbled that my work inspires filmmakers to take on my insane ideas and craft them in new and amazing ways.

Then we've got Bezos predicting AI gains will enable 3 day work weeks and families supporting themselves with single-incomes. PROBABLY BECAUSE AI HAS ELIMINATED THEIR JOBS AND THE SAVINGS ARE USED TO BUY THE BILLIONAIRES MORE YACHTS, CASTLES & PLANES. #noai

More than two dozen workers at three major publishing houses—HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, and Hachette—tell WIRED that LLMs are being used for publicity, cover art, back cover copy, and emails, as some execs push junior staff to champion the tech. Read the full story: buff.ly/p0ymGmN

This may disappoint some fans ... but not me! Holly has proven to be somewhat polarizing, but damn! I love the way her character has evolved over the series of books she has appeared in. Bring it on, @stephenking.bsky.social. Bring. It. On!!

Well at least our food supply and medicines are all safer. And our health insurance costs are lower. And don't forget how he ended Russia's war in Ukraine so quickly and ... Checks notes... Oh. Never mind.

Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov

So much for Donald Trump’s promise to lower costs “on day one.” Instead his disastrous economic agenda is raising your interest rates - making your mortgage and your credit card bill more expensive. Enough is enough.

This diesel situation is so much worse than people realize. The prices are going so much higher. The US and Europe simply do not have enough reserves to offset the shortage for long. The GOP is going to have a fun November.

Empty Devils by @authordileo.bsky.social is my current read and it's riveting so far! A father, out for revenge after rhis daughter is run down by a car driven through a crowd of protesters, encounters skinheads, his daughter's ghost, and a monstrous creature. #booksky #horror

Not only is @almakatsu.bsky.social "interested" in capturing this, she succeeds! She captures it, puts it into a glass display case and places it front and center so that anyone with eyes to see can recognize the horror we face. But is anyone smart enough to pay attention? #booksy #horror

True confession: I've been a @stephenking.bsky.social fan for almost 50 years & get his books upon release, as I did with BLACK HOUSE in 2001. I don't know how this happened, but even though I've had the book for 25 years, I think this was the VERY FIRST TIME I've read it!
