There are a buncha folks wearing firefighting gear, circled around a big glowy orange thing which is emitting smoke and sparks and is setting off smoke alarms. They are all covered in soot and coughing furiously.
They say there is no fire. We should definitely take them at their word.

I gave my youngest an early gift last night. Perhaps Cujo is a little much for a twelve year old, but they're almost thirteen. Books aren't usually their thing. I went in to check on them and tell them it was time for bed: "Just one more page, Dad!"
That is one of the coolest things ever.

Very vivid dream: walking on a pier/bridge above a lake, and the pier is in bad shape. Boards crumble under my feet and I cover the last of it crawling on my belly. There is an abandoned motel; two levels with outside doors. In one room there is a lightbulb on so I go to it. The room is ruined. /1

So in case you were wondering why everyone seemed to be losing their shit over Bari Weiss several weeks ago, she confirmed concerns.
It is clear that we have entered a new era of government censorship of the media. Folks, one person doesn't get to decide the truth in our country.

I went to a high school whose lockers had no locks. The only thefts I reported were some CDs that a friend had let me borrow. We learned the thief was my locker partner.
I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but no, he had bragged about it. Impressive level of dumbass.

Just got back from a boxing match. My daughter's boyfriend got KO'd in the first and they are getting him checked out for concussion. Exhibition matches can be really uneven.
