It's not unclear. He has every intention of making it his personal jet, and no intention of ever paying the hundreds of millions we've spent on it. The only thing that's unclear is whether Dems will be able to stop him, or at least make him pay back the money before taking it.

I'm not the first, hopefully I'm not the last, to criticize the HWA Horror Writers Association column welcoming AI with open arms. But here's the latest, on my site. I wrote it quickly, so beware of typos. Complete with link to great @chuckwendig.bsky.social piece. keithroysdon.com/2026/08/05/t...

I have it on good authority that one random Flock camera contains the headpiece to the staff of Ra, which when attached to a staff of a particular height, points the bearer to the Well of Souls and the Lost Ark of the Covenant. Our top men are working on it now.

I had an unusually busy pop-culture weekend. I went to CreepyCon Knoxville on Saturday and saw "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" on Sunday. The con was so much fun - great cosplay; I posted a lot of pics on Instagram - and the movie was one of the best Marvels since "Endgame."

The schools that stood up to Trump thug demands—first Wesleyan and Princeton, then Harvard, then many others who were emboldened—have won in court and earned honor in history and support from alums. Columbia showed that appeasement always loses. It's never enough. Don't do it, Yale.

In no particular order, in no order at all really, this is most of my own personal TBR. I have others, including electronic versions that other friends have sent me. What’s occupying a lot of my reading time in 2026, however, is a super secret reading project that will become known next year. 
This is such a good story by my friend @msemilyedwards.bsky.social
