BRACE YOURSELF FOR MAXIMUM GASLIGHTING:

FROM HOLLY CHISM:  Soul Inheritance.

#CommissionEarned

Fresh out of college, Evelyn Alexander’s first order of business was finding a place to live. One she could afford on her small inheritance before her job started. None of the local rental agencies had anything in her price range, but…she found a small Victorian house for sale, the only one mostly untouched in a decaying neighborhood of subdivided rental houses.

Complete with a ghost. A very attractive ghost. A very attractive ghost with a strong dislike of the idea of anyone changing his house. So, of course, she bought it. A cranky ghost for a roommate was still a better option than the tiny studio with criminal neighbors.

Between working to restore her new house, embezzlement at work and a murder next door, Evelyn has her hands full. As she works to get on her feet as a productive adult (and not fall in love with a ghost she can’t have), the problems start to snowball. And it’s only compounded by learning that her house has far more secrets than just a single, cranky (attractive) ghost…

MAJOR DISCOVERY:

HMM:

Sonia Sotomayor is divorced now, but she did have a white spouse when she was married.

OPEN THREAD: Comment on a groovy Tuesday.

THE ACCOUNTABILITY TRAIN SEEMS TO BE ROLLING:

IT IS A CONTRAST WITH HIS RECENT PREDECESSORS: Behind-the-scenes photo exposes how Trump was caught grabbing Melania’s butt. Married man grabs legal spouse’s butt. Only in 2026 media-world would that seem deviant.

Compare:

From Grok: “No, the image is not genuine—it’s a satirical meme, and the lower (Biden) part is manipulated or fabricated.” Plausible, though.

DON’T BUY “RESEARCH COMPOUNDS:” The Next Ozempic? This Unapproved Peptide Comes With a Big Catch. “Current research suggests retatrutide can cause several side effects. This is supported by anecdotal reports from social media. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal. These may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation.”

Also, you don’t really know what you’re getting with gray-market drugs.
