4·4 hours agoLOL - stink bug.
I felt bad, I kept telling her “There’s nothing there!” then I caught it.
Pro-tip - catch and release stink bugs. 😉
Had a cat do that once, there was a bug in the lamp.
1·14 hours agoThis is not World News.
AI slop site stealing news from other sources:
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/world/middleeast/us-iran-peace-talks-pakistan.html
First, internal US news doesn’t go in World, second, this is a spam source that steals content from other sites:
Dawnnews steals articles from other sites, it will not be allowed.
This article stolen from PBS:
If your snoring is that problematic you probably need a sleep study and a CPAP machine, not a $5,000 bed making you drink.
My phone has a 1TB SD card just for music, I’m currently using (checks notes) 88GB.
But I only really listen to music when I’m driving and that cuts the temptation to check other things.
Problematic now that Firefox has a free VPN with 50gb / mo.
8·15 hours agoThe Destiny community has this weird love/hate relationship with the property. Closest thing to the Star Wars or Star Trek fans.
Still going to suck for anyone trying to leave Bogota or Lima or any of the other service spots. 😞
2·22 hours agoAnother good one that is similar in feel but not directly tied is Fairy Tale. Good read!
The censored cover for the Beatles White Album:
(NSFW?)
spoiler
Keep on the lookout for the 3rd Talisman book this year as well. Talisman did not directly tie in, but the sequel, Black House, puts a Dark Tower shaped pin in the plotlines running from Insomnia and Hearts in Atlantis.
Yup! Think of it as a King Multiverse. All* of his books are connected to it.
"May not always be explicitly stated, but for practical purposes, “All”. 😉
I used to write a FAQ on this back in the 90s. The 3rd book came out in, oh, '92 or so, and ended in a huge cliffhanger. There was a 5 year gap before book 4 would come out, and I got tired of seeing “Hey, when does book 4 come out?” so I put together a FAQ.
It’s still out there in places. Hasn’t been updated in, oh, forever?
The metaphor in the Dark Tower books is imagine a clock face. If you draw a line between two opposing numbers, 12 to 6, 1 to 7, etc. they all cross in the center. That’s where the tower is.
Each line is a beam and each end of the beam has a guardian. The turtle in It is one of them. So was the bear in the 2nd Dark Tower book.
The Crimson King is trying to tear down the beams, if he succeeds, the Tower will fall.
This has been reported as US Internal news, but Spirit did service Mexico, the Caribbean and other places in Central and South America.
Their closure has a wide impact.
I picked up the disc version of that cheap, I really should open it up some day.
