If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula (sorry no fan art)
A stack of books with the title a bloody deal on them. Will reporter Grace betray all she holds dear in order to feed an insatiable vampire who calls himself Diavolo in exchange for answers?

Really starting to tire of the booster packs flooding the board game world. Is it a way to prop these companies up because of these horrible tariffs or is it the influence of Fortnite?
Asmodee's newest expansion for Lord of the Rings: Duel for middle earth called Allies will come in booster packs

Haven't bought comics in a long time. This was so cathartic for me.
Four single issue comics. Spider-Man 94, Batman number 1, absolute Wonder woman number one, absolute Green lantern number one. Spider-Man is in a black and white suit that we know as venom. Batman has the Batman symbol on a black background. Wonder woman is riding a skeletal horse and carrying a giant sword. Green lantern is flying through the ether being grabbed by a giant hand and glowing green with energy from her ring

A cover of A Bloody Deal. A blood red moon basks a dark alley in light, reflecting a puddle of blood off the cobblestones. Dark homes surround the scene of absent violence. The words, A Vampire thriller, run along the bottom of the image

I love reading to my kids. Even when they get into obsessed mode. The recent Spidey and His Amazing Friends tie in books felt weird though.

Both Spider-men changed their names to help young kids know which was which. Which is fine. But they don't call Miles his nickname, just Spidey.
A picture of Spidey, Ghost Spider and not Spin (Miles Morales's superhero nickname on the show). Spin is called Miles. The line in a book as all three Spider heroes swing away from a mother and child reads, "Changing into their Super Hero costumes, Spidey, Ghost Spider, and Miles get ready to swing into action."

Started to learn ASL but it's slow going. Parenting, no one to sign with, the book I'm using is two-dimensional. But I found some videos from my library. Most are pretty helpful, but then there were a few odd ones...
A video titled current events in ASL, all about Trump. People look kind of angry on the cover. Not sure what it's about, but it's volume one The next movie is current events in ASL, gun violence And this is current events in ASL the college admissions scandal. Volume 2

Zero time to play video games but I always think back to the absolute crazy assness of Earth Defense Force. Giant ants, giant hordes, and giant cheesy lines like, "Do you like death? Then die!!" It was always a good time
A group of four futuristic soldiers stand in front of a black ant that is three stories tall and about to eat them.

"Hey! You! Yes, you, the one we just airdropped onto a mountain of steaming shit! There's a cool rock down there! Yeah! Trust us, it's there!"
An email from the Social Security Administration saying, "The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that delivers long-awaited tax relief to millions of older Americans. The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation's economy."

Reading this book, Guards Guards, and...I need a minute
It was amazing, this mystic business. You tell them a lie, and then when you don't need it any more you tell them another lie and tell them they're progressing along the road to wisdom. Then instead of laughing they follow you even more, hoping that at the heart of all the lies they'll find the truth. And bit by bit they accept the unacceptable. Amazing.

What is this size chart
Pants sizes range from xs to 5xl. However, the waist sizes match to really long lengths. For example, a 36 inch waist and a 42 inch length. That's around 8 to 12 inches past most men's ankles

Nazi stuff is brewing in Ohio

Protected property includes "any railroad property, a dam operating by the state or federal government, and trucking terminals." As well as airports, military bases, and farmland.

Ohio is mostly farmland

www.nbc4i.com/news/politic...
Article states: "Under this bill, I could lose my home," Yuan said. “While I'm here legally, I would be labeled as a foreign adversary. This is deeply dehumanizing." The bill would ban anyone who is not a United States citizen, and from a country that is a foreign adversary, from buying land within 25 miles of "protected property." “I think there's logic to it," Ohio House Speaker Matt Huffman (R-Lima) said.

Gives strong this
We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.
