On this “Cyber Monday”, why not stop “cybering” with your online lover and instead support independent booksellers by making a purchase on Bookshop.org, perhaps even purchasing the latest issue of the Raleigh Review, in which a short story of mine appears? bookshop.org/p/books/rale...

This is good news. I am working to secure a deal on offering our own Daily Zig-branded discount cellular telephone plan that will be slightly cheaper than the one offered by our competition, the Smartless podcast.
Silver medal! Not too shabby for such a new podcast. Next year @pizzaatmcds.bsky.social and I go for the gold. #TheDailyZig

Every podcast awards ceremony is a "honey trap" to catch podcasters en masse, cage them, and hold them in "black sites" where their only meals come from Hello Fresh. This is why I avoid them.

I recall FBI director Kash Patel, in reference to the death of professional teenager debater Charlie Kirk, using the phrase “I’ll see you in Valhalla.” It seems many such men have turned to Nordic paganism instead of Christianity because they believe loving Jesus “H.” Christ is too effeminate.
Hegseth: "We don't need to be a military of beardos anymore. Do you know how many troops claim to be Nordic Pagan? No, suddenly it's become this real fake religious affiliation inside the Pentagon where troops came to be Nordic Pagan so they can grow a beard and nobody challenges them on it."
