All Astra’s ever wanted is magic. Auri, a blind seeress and his closest friend, guides him while he perfects a ritual that will grant his wish.
The demon Alhalmalhat has other plans. Unless they stop her, she will drag Astra to a corrupted destiny as the Destroyer. #pitlight
So, a lot of people ask me why I buy so many books. The truth is, I have a genetic disorder where my body doesn’t produce enough books of its own, so I have to supplement.
My father once told me the secret to a happy marriage.
“Stay out of the kitchen. Let her handle the holidays.”
I was 19. He was in his recliner.
My mother was cooking for 14 people.
She’d been up since 5 AM.
He’d been up since the football pregame.
I didn’t think anything of it.
That’s just how it was.
Fast forward 20 years.
I’m in the recliner.
My wife is in the kitchen.
She’s been up since 5 AM.
I’ve been up since the pregame.
My daughter walks by and I see her watching.
Not the TV.
Her mother.
Then me.
Then her mother again.
That’s when it hit me:
She’s taking notes.
My father taught me that holidays were for men to rest and women to work.
He didn’t say it.
He showed it.
Every Thanksgiving.
Every Christmas.
Every Easter.
The recliner passed from him to me like an inheritance I never asked for.
This morning I woke up at 4 AM.
Not for content.
For the turkey.
My wife found me in the kitchen at 6.
She didn’t say anything.
She just stood there.
Then she cried.
Your kids are taking notes.
Not on what you say.
On where you sit.
The recliner is an inheritance.
Be the generation that stands up.
The most unrealistic part of fantasy novels isn't dragons or prophecies. It's that the hero can afford to take two months to save the world. My boss won't even let me take a half day unless I'm sure the dark lord will be neutralized before lunch.
REPORT: White House orders NASA to destroy satellite used for monitoring climate change, according to NPR
The censorship campaign goes to space. I guess if you can’t SEE the climate changing, then it ISN’T changing.
The stupidity is exquisite.
Conway:
“Trump said something that the people who work for him now should remember. He said the people who worked for Obama—they’re not protected by the immunity decision. All you people working Trump, you better watch it because you don’t have immunity.”
@Grummz Frankly these shenanigans are the best advertisement for Discover cards and other competitors that I've ever seen. Anyone upset by this should open an account and close any Visa and Mastercard accounts wherever practical. Vote with your wallet.
Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill:
- forbids states from regulating AI for 10 years,
-centralizes control at the federal level
-integrates all AI systems nationwide into federal government agencies.
Do you get it yet?
BREAKING: The GOP-led House just passed the Big Beautiful Bill in a 215-214 vote. It will defund Medicaid and Medicair while decreasing taxes mainly for the uber wealthy and corporations. It will also expand our deficit and increase our national debt by trillions of dollars.
So much for DOGE.
Two Republicans vote no: Massie and Davidson.
