CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END × KNIVES OUT

When their detective friend is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly-written campaign.

And I feel compelled to say, on Spencer's behalf, that he does not ask or expect his aunt to clean his house.

She comes over and cleans things as a way to snoop on him. Spencer would really rather change his own sheets.

Wren swore she’d never return to Fenholt, but her pesky conscience got the better of her. Again. Now she’s desperate to keep a cursed necklace out of a necromancer’s grasp while dodging her old thieving crew. But is she desperate enough to trust a handsome priest of the dead?

Tonight, 7/12

Greg Abbott is as evil as they come. You can’t expect decency and fair play from a man who spread 100 miles of razor wire to prevent border crossings knowing very well that children could be harmed and lives lost. Not sure if people are aware—17 OSL Guardsman on his watch have died.

Looking right at you from 1554, bearded man with hand on hip. Painted by Jan Sanders van Hemessen, whose day is today.

Today in history, 1960: Harper Lee publishes her first novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Noted for its treatment of a child’s awakening to racism in the South, the book won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. It was an immediate success, eventually selling more than 40 million copies.
