Stephen King has a blunt response to Stephen Millers leftwing terrorism post
Stephen King has had plenty of stern words for the president recently, but on Sunday he turned his attention to the deputy chief of staff instead.
The horror master responded to an X post from Stephen Miller talking about "a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism" in the US.
"The issue before is [sic] now is very simple and clear," wrote Miller. "There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks."

King, meanwhile, quoted Miller's post with a comment on the tactics the administration is using.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed."Sorry, Steve--The Constitution isn't far left or far right," he wrote. "It's the basis on our democracy, and you're playing the terror card to try and overturn it. Won't work."
Trump's administration has been deploying national guard troops to certain democratic-run cities in recent weeks under the guise of fighting crime, but a recent effort to deploy troops to Portland, Oregon has been blocked by a federal judge.

So, if you're looking to pick up a pair of open earbuds ASAP, the first-generation OpenRun Pro are still a solid option, with 10 hours of battery life, a titanium frame, and solid sound quality for open earbuds.

The early October Amazon Prime Day buzz just got a major upgrade with Apple’s newest M4 MacBook Air (2025) has joined the sale lineup as of Oct. 6; it’s already more than enough to turn heads at $799, a solid $200 off its regular $999 price tag.
This 13.6-inch marvel brings Apple’s signature “speed of lightness” to life, packing the M4 chip with a 10-core CPU and 8-core GPU under its impossibly slim 0.44-inch aluminium shell. As a result, you’ve got a laptop that effortlessly handles everything from creative projects to heavy multitasking — all while staying whisper-quiet and cool. If anything, it’s the top reason why we loved it in Mashable’s M4 MacBook Air review.
Adding to the huge selection of the best early Prime Day deals on Amazon right now, the higher-spec models are on sale, too. This version of the M4 MacBook Air comes with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage — but the 512GB SSD version is also 20% off at $999.99, along with 24GB RAM & 512GB SSD SKU now being on offer for $1199 with a $200 price cut of its own.
SEE ALSO: Some of Amazon's early Prime Day Apple deals are already add-to-cart worthyDesigned to take full advantage of Apple Intelligence, the company’s new built-in AI system, the M4 MacBook Air helps you write, organise, and express yourself more naturally. The same goes for privacy, too, thanks to new groundbreaking protections that have been added to keep your data safe.
Altogether, though, whether you’re crunching through spreadsheets, editing 4K footage, or just browsing, this series of MacBooks is built to keep up.
The Liquid Retina display dazzles with over a billion colours and 500 nits of brightness, while the 12MP Center Stage camera, three-mic array, and Spatial Audio speakers make it ideal for crystal-clear calls or cinematic binge sessions. You’ll also get two Thunderbolt 4 ports, MagSafe 3 charging, Wi-Fi 6E, and a backlit Magic Keyboard with Touch ID — the full modern Mac experience in a 2.7-pound frame.
Battery life stretches up to 18 hours, meaning you can fly coast to coast without reaching for a charger. With early Prime Day rolling out in full force, this is the perfect excuse to upgrade before everyone else does, as well as being a top-tier discount.
The grownup Stranger Things cast rewatching Season 1 together is a fun time
With the final season of Stranger Things drawing closer, Netflix has sat the key cast members down to look back on where the horror began.
In the clip above the core Stranger Things cast rewatch some memorable scenes from Season 1, ranging from lighthearted D&D games to the (still shocking) fate of Barb (Shannon Purser).
It's fun to look back on Season 1, but it's just as fun to a) see how much the cast have changed in the nine years since, and b) see how much fun they all clearly have hanging out together off set.
