Treat yourself this scary season -- the choice is Simple!

Enjoy a thrilling ride with a group of terrorists holding the world hostage by killing off our biggest sports stars ... and the one man who may be able to stop them.

"For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other.”

Should we treat environmental crime more like murder?
Serial killers and violent criminals dominate the headlines. What if we covered ecocide and pollution in the same way?

Nearly every media outlet is announcing they will refuse to sign the Pentagon’s new rule stating they cannot report information if it’s not government “authorized.”

Even Newsmax is refusing to sign.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Read books, ban intolerance! 📚

"What I tell kids is, Don't get mad, get even. Don't spend time waving signs or carrying petitions around the neighborhood. Instead, run, don't walk, to the nearest nonschool library or to the local bookstore and get whatever it was that they banned."

- Stephen King

So we learned tonight that our female cat is a big war movie buff!

And Warfare on HBO is a really good film... 🎬 😸
