He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war thatโs not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America canโt afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
Trump apparently doesnโt want commerce with other countries; just war.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
One of the biggest problems with the world is that fools are always so sure and certain about everything and intelligent people are so full of doubts and uncertainties.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
ICE looking more and more like the American Gestpo.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
INCIDENTS AROUND THE HOUSE, Josh Malerman: This is the rare novel that's authentically scary. I mean, this is THE EXORCIST level of scary. The audiobook version is good, too.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
INDOOR SAFARI--Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets backing--Yep Roc records--one beautiful slab o' vinyl.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
These are the times that try menโs souls.

This is the final poster. Now get up & go! The Life of Chuck hits theaters everywhere on the 13th (tomorrow!). Find tickets and locations at thelifeofchuck.film

Elon Musk is now a country music fan. He's doing the "Watermelon Crawl."
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
Sorry to hear Brian Wilson has died. The Beach Boys were the soundtrack of my summers, from "Surfin' Safari" on.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
I saw a wonderfully gruesome horror movie called BRING HER BACK this afternoon. Thoughtful, textured, and scary as hell.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
Congratulations, you've been recruited. Watch the series premiere of #TheInstitute July 13 on MGM+. This is extraordinary. youtu.be/bcPqMUQmL2w
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect โ
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
Trump's latest shitshow is to detract from inflation and his ruinous tariffs. As Hitler and Stalin knew, in times of trouble, find a bogeyman.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
OUR HERO, BALTHAZAR: I loved this movie, felt it was a real bolt of indie lightning. Stars Jaeden Martell. It made me think of MEAN STREETS.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
Neon Films released THE LIFE OF CHUCK. Because theyโre small, they depended on Mark Hamil, Tom Hiddleston, and others to go on the circuit and talk the movie up. Thank you, guys. Now go bust a move!
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
I had a blast talking with the ladies of The View about (what else?) #TheLifeOfChuck which opens in limited engagements TODAY June 6th and everywhere next Friday the 13th. (luckily Iโm not the least bit superstitious) ๐ค
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
Billionaire children having a hissy fit. Embarrassing.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
Musk vs. Trump: Same old WWF bullshit.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
It is always a pleasure hanging out with Stephen Colbert especially when there are puppies. And it was a thrill meeting the great #CristinMilioti, who was absolutely sensational in the Penguin. Thanks #ColbertLateShow and Thanks Chuck! Styling: #MichaelFisher Grooming: #marycurranstylist

THE INSTITUTE is coming soon! Mark your calendars for July 13th! #TheInstitute

THE LIFE OF CHUCK opens in select cities Friday. Everywhere, June 13th. Go see it. It will brighten your day.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
"Magical." "Marvelous." "Masterpiece." THE LIFE OF CHUCK. From the hearts and souls of Mike Flanagan and Stephen King. In Select Cities Friday, Everywhere 6.13. It's a great movie! (Posted at Steve King's request)
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
The little ink drop was crying, because his mother was in the pen and he didn't know how long the sentence would be. Thank you very much. I'll leave quietly.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS (Apple+): Deliriously nasty. It's like a John D. MacDonald novel from 1962 with a lot more sex and no good guy. Enjoyable.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
It's totally great, and Mark Hamill is great IN it.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."๐คฃ Good to know.

Gosh, those were the days. My wife says she's blowing cigarette smoke in Perry Mason's face.

My advice for graduates: 1. Be cool. 2. Don't be a fool. 3. Avoid being a tool.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
U.S. economy is experiencing โdeath by a thousand cutsโ, Deutsche Bank has said.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
Floating the idea of a 3rd term is just Trump's way of winding up what MAGA folks like to call "the libtards." The real damage is what he can do in the next 3.6 years when he never has to face the electorate again. Don't expect the Repubs to stop him.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
This is what the House GOP has been working onโrenaming โMAGA Accounts" to "Trump Accounts." While theyโre stripping healthcare for millions, theyโre pulling this shit.

The GOPโs โBig Beautiful Billโ is Robin Hood in reverse: it takes from the poor to give to the rich.SNAP (used to be Food Stampsโฆwhich Tabby and I used back in 1972) is gone. Medicare is going.

For Mike Flanagan: ๐ As a longtime fan, I was deeply honored to become a member of the @mikeflanaganfilm.com family, first with The Fall of the House of Usher & now with The Life of Chuck. Wishing you the happiest of birthdays! โค๏ธ from your pal, Mar๐ซ

The Golden Dome: Another piece of crap brought to you by that carnival barker, Donald J. Trump.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
THE DOORMAN, Chris Pavone's wildly entertaining novel of New York, is published today. If you liked THE BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES, this will not disappoint.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
The DOJ is all in a kerfuffle over James Comey posting (in seashells), 8647. Made me think of the Book of Proverbs: "The wicked flee when none pursueth."
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
The Wall Street Journal says the new ESPN streamer will cost $29.95/month. That strikes me as a tad high.

Ogden Nash (revised slightly): The door of a MAGA supporter's mind opens outwards so that the resulting pressure of facts only causes it to be shut more snugly.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
What do rhythm guitarists and vacuum cleaners have in common? When you plug them in, they both suck. What do you call a guitarist who only knows two chords? A music critic.

Trumpty-Dumpty is defunding PBS. What he calls "bias" some of us call "facts Trumpty-Dumpty doesn't like."

The Hill: Egg prices reached another record high last month. It now costs American shoppers an average of $6.23 for a dozen eggs โ nearly a five-fold increase since 2020.

Why was Kristi Noem carrying $3,000 in her purse?
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
Trumpโs claim that heโs negotiating with China on tariffs is a baldfaced lie. But what else would you expect from Trumpty-Dumpty?
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
Mr. Murphy, of course.

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

Iโm channeling Peter. He gets co-credit. Hopefully this gets done. T3 is a long one. This year, Holly Gibney is back in NEVER FLINCH.

An idea: Instead of firing J. Powell, letโs fire J. Trump.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
Thinking about some streming reviews Iโve read lately: Sometimes I want to say to critics, โYโall get down in the trenches and try doing this some of this shit. Then listen to some asshole tell you everything you did wrong.โ
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
No Kings except for Angus and Steve!
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
@alishagrauso.bsky.social I read your piece in Screen Rant. Given what you said, I think you're going to dig T3. It covers a lot of Mid-World Territories.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
The Trump administrationโs worldview in a nutshell: If youโre white, youโre all right. If youโre brown, get out of town.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
What exactly IS street corn, and why is it called that?
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
I tried to post this, did not succeed. Kudos to my pal Mark Hamill. Here it is.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
Because I believe the only stupid question is one you donโt askโwhen did โstreet cornโ or โMexican street cornโ become a thing? All at once I see it everywhere. And does ICE know?
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

A reader reminds me that El Salvador is actually Trump's gulag; Venezuela is simply his straw monster.

ABRAHAMโS BOYS, Based on the story by Joe Hill and starring Titus Welliver (BOSCH). Itโs a terrific fright-fest.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
This doesn't have anything to do with the economy. It's Trump's Vengeance Tour, pure and simple.

Oh man, somebody get him out of there. Heโs crazy.

Trump voters feeling bitter โCause the marketโs in the shitter. See? Iโm a poet and donโt know it. Although my feet show it. Theyโre *longfellows.* Just trying to keep folks amused while their 401Ks go down the drain. Trump is like honeybadger: He donโt give a shit.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

Sounds like Mr. Browne is doing good stuff. And just by the wayโMrs. Browne has got a lovely daughter.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
Politics aside, what's Jackson Browne up to these days? Probably a stupid question with the world going to down the shitter, but I can't help being curious.

A man walked into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender said: "Does that animal talk?" The parrot replied, "I don't know."
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
Every day and in every way, Trump and his cohorts take another shit on the Constitution they have promised to revere and defend.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
Elon Musk claims "the leftists" are bad-mouthing his company. This isn't true. It's ordinary car buyers who are fed the fuck up.

Chuck Schumer was damned if he did and damned if he didn't. Eventually the wheel of karma will turn again in the favor of sensible people, but God, am I tired of waiting.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.
Stephen King (@stephenking.bsky.social):
Hey MAGA people, having any buyerโs remorse yet? ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
