Publisher's Marketplace announcement: Author of NUMBER ONE FAN and the Road to Nowhere series Meg Elison's FOUNDLING FATHERS, about young clones of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, George Washington, and Benjamin Franklin, created by a right-wing cabal and raised in isolation, and what happens when they stumble upon technology they aren't supposed to see, to Jacob Weisman at Tachyon Publications, with Rick Klaw editing, in a nice deal, for publication in summer 2026, by Arley Sorg at kt literary (world English).
Coming summer 2026: it's Hamilton x The Boys from Brazil. Foundling Fathers, Tachyon Publications. Happy birthday, America. It's the satire you deserve.

“Let’s go, girls” and “hell yeah, brother” are both gender neutral statements

Also, this is just called radio and if we wanna bring back “the radio”, we certainly could do that
Yeeesh, people love a bandaid response
