I do not know why STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS is a mere two ducats and ninety-nine chits at your favorite online electromagic bookseller, but it is if you’re so inclined to grab it on digital for cheapy.

ON FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1998, five teenagers went on a camping trip in the middle of the forest.
ONLY FOUR OF THEM RETURNED.

Is it Christian to publicly call for the murder of all homeless people?

That's what Brian Kilmeade did on Fox a week ago.

He still has his job.

Millions of borrowers are at risk of default and financial ruin because Trump & McMahon are dragging their feet processing the student loan forgiveness they're owed. This is unacceptable, and that's why we're taking them to court. www.npr.org/2025/09/19/n...

Lawsuit aims to force Trump administration to stop delaying student loan forgiveness

The American Federation of Teachers is seeking a preliminary injunction that would force the department to resume student loan forgiveness.

Listened to Killer on the Road while on a recent road trip. It's so good. Though makes you think twice about stopping at that rest stop. @sgj.bsky.social

About this Florida vaccine story:

When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.

We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.

“Oh, they’d have died.”

I really like this platform. My main hang up with it right now is that my 'following' feed and 'discover' feed are identical. I don't need to discover people I'm already following. I would like to discover something different. It's implied right there in the name, Discover.

I have walked past three different people today who are clearly in some sort of online meeting on their phone, using speakerphone. Like, I get it you're in a cool meeting that you can't miss you're that important, buy a fucking headset.

Trump has purchased at least $103 million worth of corporate and municipal bonds since he took office again, according to new filings from the Office of Government Ethics.

Trump made about 690 purchases from Jan. 21 through Aug. 1.

The active trading by a president of the U.S. is unprecedented.

The purchases could let the president make money off companies and local entities that could be affected by his agenda.

Well, it took 5 years, but I finally got covid. Had to miss the husband's bday party by sequestering myself but feeling better on day 2. Thankful for the vaccine, which likely is the reason I'm already on the mend.
