This is my kitten Gasket, she is afraid of laps and pets (and a thousand other things). You may notice she’s being so brave on my lap getting pets!!

In the lead-up to Halloween, I'd like to remind folks that you can listen to @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com read "The Graveyard Book" in full on YouTube.
It's a good option for folks, like me, who enjoy some fantastical spookiness, but mostly aren't into outright horror.

The new feature on my watch describes me as getting a whole bunch of “core sleep”. Hell, yeah, core sleep! Sounds great, I’m finally sleeping better. What does core sleep mean? Friends, it’s LIGHT SLEEP. Hell of a way to bring me down.

Mike Johnson, the new House speaker, has spent his career in what he sees as a divine battle to put his religious beliefs at the center of U.S. law and policy.
For Mike Johnson, Religion Is at the Forefront of Politics and Policy
The new House speaker has put his faith at the center of his political career, and aligned himself with a newer cohort of conservative Christianity that some describe as Christian nationalism.
