My villain origin story is that, after a lifetime of deep vivid dreams, I was diagnosed with a neurological disorder in which I get migraines when I dream and the treatment is to stop me from dreaming.
Looking forward to the day when I can personally donate toward rebuilding The White House historic building. I am an immigrant, and itโ€™s meant a lot to me.

The kids are not alright.

Longitudinal research shows that rates of mental health distress among LGBTQ+ youth have increased since 2023, that they're less able to access mental health care, and that nearly 1/4 have been threatened with conversion therapy.

Last night, Poland recorded as many as 19 airspace violations by Russian drones coming from Belarus.

Polish and NATO troops were forced to engage Russian targets over NATO territory.

If NATO doesnโ€™t set clear boundaries here, these probing missions by Russia wonโ€™t stop.
Correction, 24 drones, remains of 8 found so far.
8 Shahed drones sent by Russia to Poland in an overnight attack. A total of 19 airspace violations. Putin is testing to see what NATO will do. NATO will do nothing. Putin will proceed.

I declared today a self-care day. So far I sent my husband out to play golf, called everyone on the phone instead of texting, did my laundry, organized pantry, read a real book, and changed sheets. I also spent an hour watching my dogs chase birds. Now we are doing this.

Putting a 10 year old on tv to talk about his friend being shot at school is a different level of diabolical.

DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON TV TALKING ABOUT A SHOOTING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH

The media who do this are heartless bastards
Dear European leaders, thoughts and prayers and expressions of outrage donโ€™t accomplish much against Russian missiles.
The Buccaneers is surprisingly good. Like the slightly more diverse and dramatic Bridgerton.
