Napoleon took over France legally and without any bloodshed in 1799, becoming powerful enough to control most of Europe and kidnap two popes, breaking traditions of monarchy and religious rule that had reigned for centuries and crowning himself Emperor.
16 years later he was exiled and powerless.

I’ll do a thread later and tag people etc, but here’s my list of my best reads of 2025.
As noted below, not all were published this year; I go by when I read them.
I chose 10 novels, 1 series, and 1 short story.
I read a ton of great books this year; some outstanding ones aren’t on this list.

The hubby has put up with me being cranky AF all day and responded by taking a stressful home improvement task off my plate.
Honestly, I’m a greedy pig for keeping him all to myself but y’all can’t have him.

As we sit here shivering this morning, I thought I'd post a peaceful bit of video from the gentle waves of Lake Erie during warmer months. Also, this is from the beach at Presque Isle State Park, which is a featured location in the Detective Honeywell Mysteries. #LakeErie #BookSky

Apparently I associate dancing with romance and excitement ☺️ I wrote about toys that came to life dancing by the light of the full moon. It's one of the only romance stories I've ever written (for a contest prompt). I have a similar scene in my WIP. www.abyssapexzine.com/2024/01/moon...

Absolutely. But traditionally you crack a RICO gang by prosecuting one definitely illegal thing and pulling on everything that unravels like yarn from that investigation.
A note of caution about the new GOP vow of oversight on the murder of the two men clinging to the boat. It's good to see, but it could become a backdoor way for Rs to defuse pressure for broader scrutiny.
The entire operation is illegal. It all needs oversight. 1/

There 100% is something wrong with Megyn Kelly, but I do think she's also cynically playing to the millions of people in America affected by the hundreds of thousands of drug deaths. Trying to make them believe something is being done about the loss of their loved one when it's not true.

And if you're a podcast that is airing those ICE ads (and doesn't want them), talk to @smartbitches.bsky.social . She just ran a successful campaign to turn those insert ads off.
