This is not that story."

“the girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa”

Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd (née Lucy Page Mercer; April 26, 1891 – July 31, 1948) was an American woman who sustained a long affair with US president Franklin D. Roosevelt. Born to formerly-rich parents, Mercer became secretary to Eleanor Roosevelt in 1914 and began an extensive affair with Franklin shortly thereafter. When Eleanor discovered the affair in 1918, she offered Franklin a divorce; but Franklin instead chose to separate from Mercer to preserve his political career.

Sean Penn's character in "One Battle After Another" was just Cotton Hill, short man complex, aggro weird walk and all.

"King of the Hill's" Dale Gribble and Cotton Hill.

The way we've designed our cities and suburbs means 88 year olds have no choice but to drive. It's not like they can stroll down to the grocery store. Our car-dependent cities force 88-years to drive. And they are slaughtered. @nextstl.com tinyurl.com/y6dz635s

4 dead after wrong-way crash on I-170 near I-70, including 88-year-old driver

An 88-year-old man drove the wrong way on I-170, crashing head-on into a Jeep. He died, along with all three people in the other vehicle.

Get yourself an editor who hypes you up mid-edits. I cannot tell you enough how amazing @rhppress.bsky.social is. They are good people doing good work and I am so lucky to be working with them.

I deeply appreciated the chance to write a gnarly little mystery set on Capri, complete with a dead fashion mogul, a shipwreck, and an annoying little dog! #amwriting #mystery

Matthew 6:5-8
New International Version
Prayer
5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
