Look, I've voted in every midterm and presidential election since 1990, the first year I was eligible. I wish there was a president I wanted to vote for this year, but I sure as hell want to vote against Project 2025.

The Sunday Morning Transport dives into a dungeon today with a story from Scott Lynch (@scottlynch78.bsky.social) that takes us through a labyrinth from a number of perspectives not often considered. The first free story in our month of free stories!

Selected Scenes from the Ecologies of the Labyrinthwww.sundaymorningtransport.com July marks our third (We can’t believe it’s been two and a half years!) summer — and we’re celebrating with four great free reads. Yes, you read that right, a whole month of free goodness from The Sun...

The sardines make good pill pockets if you break the heads off, by the way. (Speaking of ew.)

omnomnomnom ewwww

my guys are very into those freeze-dried minnows and freeze-dried chicken hearts. Congrats to you and Fiasco!

Get well soon, and I hope you're not too sick to continue to enjoy the enforced rest.

We’ve returned to the olden days, when word-of-mouth was the only real way to advertise. As an author, if you enjoy a book, please: tell your friends. Your group chat, your sewing circle, your family WhatsApp, your work Slack, the voice channel of your MMORPG guild, anything.

Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.

I am so very pleased to hear it. We want you hale and hearty for a long time to come.

TSMT is having a subscription drive this month, 25% off a yearly sub!

I am extremely pleased for you on both fronts!

colonoscopies themselves aren't that bad, but the prep is no fun at all.

I was also enjoying a reprieve from the autoimmune stuff and it helped a lot.

I'd like to go back to about 40. I was in really good shape at 40. I want to keep the brain I have now though.

I swear we did this Gilded Age crap and learned these lessons once already.

There are two kinds of men. Men who are insecure enough to fasten onto this bullshit and all the other kinds of men.
