Not pining to return to an impossible publishing climate, but it was certainly cool when publishers found themselves treading water on a title they were obliged to keep printing and just turned it over to weirdos for the final gasps.

Orange Amplifiers Glenn Hughes Signature Purple O bass
Let me get this out of the way first. The Orange Amplifiers Glenn Hughes Signature Purple O bass is purple, not orange. 

Orange is a British company that usually makes amps, but they make one bass guitar, the O.  It looks like a Les Paul, but the cutaway goes straight down instead of curving and making a horn. It's got a split-coil P-pickup (so called because it originated on the Fender Precision bass), and it's controlled by a volume knob and a tone knob.

You can get the original O bass in orange if you want, but if you want something a little fancier, you can upgrade to this one, the Glenn Hughes signature model. His is purple because he used to be in Deep Purple. (I've gotta admit that it took me a little while to realize this. I'm not too smart sometimes.)

Chicago teen shares his experience in ICE detention centers: I am 18 years old and I just graduated from high school in Chicago. I was in ICE detention for 2 months and 10 days. They kept me in solitary for 2 days for no reason, alone in a room with just a toilet. They never let us go outside.

I enjoyed The Odyssey (2026) but I have one historical nitpick. The phrase “Jiminy Christmas” is a minced oath for “Jesus Christ”. As the story is set around 1200 B.C. it is unlikely that Odysseus would have said the phrase even once, let alone the dozens of times he says it in the film

It's time for your scheduled open-heart surgery. Unfortunately, no one has seen or heard from the surgeon in weeks, since the Incident. The nurse says that she spoke with him at length on a wide variety of important subjects and that he had never been more eloquent. "Will he be along shortly?" you ask.
"I hired him to perform a specific job, and I would like him to do that." The nurse is appalled by this disrespect for the doctors privacy. You lie there for several weeks, your chest flaps held open by clamps.

The foundational lie of Trumpism (and I’m using that word precisely to refer to the ideology of intellectual types who defend him), from day one, has been the claim that good character is a “luxury belief” and nothing more than cover for the wealthy to punish the poor. This belief is evil.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
