rest in peace to the late great lead singer of Dead or Alive Pete Burns. The band is known for the classic spin me right round like a record baby from the 1980s.

Christmas feels like standing in a room filled with every version of you—the babies you were, the children you became, the adults you are now. And I love each one with a depth I didn’t know how to hold when I was younger and rushing

The Myth of an American “Century of”Shame"—Derek Hudley’s The American Century of Shame is here. Here is what he got wrong. Derek is among a growing number of political commentators who now claim that the United States has entered a permanent age of decline. They frame the present moment as a civilizational collapse, often borrowing emotionally charged historical analogies and collapse language. This is one recent version of this narrative that labels the modern United States as entering a new “century of shame,” compares America to Qing-era China, and asserts that China is replacing the United States as the world’s dominant power. This argument feels compelling on the surface because it resonates with cultural anxiety, political frustration, left-wing (progressive) feelings of having lost and being doomed, and economic uncertainty. However, Derek’s and other Doom-and-Gloom approaches do not survive real systems analysis.

Black superheroes matter because they expand the mythic landscape, giving Black audiences the power, visibility, and cultural centrality they’ve long been denied, while reshaping how society imagines heroism itself. In this moment—when people crave authenticity, new mythologies, and stories rooted in lived truth—Black Nebula Comics stands out as a visionary force, building cosmic narratives where Blackness is not peripheral but foundational. By offering emotionally rich heroes, sovereign storytelling, and a universe unbound by old limitations, Black Nebula becomes more than a publisher; it becomes a cultural engine crafting the futures, symbols, and mythic architecture this era urgently needs...

She loved him since high school, quietly, completely, and with a heart that refused to let go. He was brilliant, distant, and lost in his own world… until betrayal shattered everything. Heartbroken but not broken, she plots a revenge he will never see coming. But when he smothers her with love to make amends, the lines between desire and vengeance blur. Caught between the man who broke her and the one who ignites her, she makes a choice that changes everything, and leaves him in the wake of her fire. Temptation. Betrayal. Revenge. Some loves are worth fighting for… and some are worth leaving behind.

Raised poor in Alabama,I grew up in darkness--literally and emotionally.Lights cut off,chaos at the door,gunshots hitting the ground while we were still kids.But in between the fear,there was joy:a mean rooster,fig trees,a dog named Pup Pup and laughter that keeps us alive.The struggle didn't break me--it built me.

Years of longing, heartbreak, and unanswered questions have finally led them here. They have crossed every obstacle, faced every fear, and endured every year of separation—and now, they are finally together. Divorces finalized, families united, and hearts unguarded, they embrace a love that has waited decades to be fully realized. The fire that burned silently through time is no longer hidden. Every touch, every glance, every shared laugh is charged with passion, desire, and the undeniable bond they’ve built. Their love is deep, unbreakable, and intoxicating. Children laughing at their feet, a home full of warmth, and hearts intertwined forever—this is their happily ever after. And yet, even in the quiet, the smoldering heat between them reminds us: some fires never die—they only grow stronger.

Years of longing, regret, and silence collide in a single room. They stand face to face, hearts racing, desire and love simmering just beneath the surface. Words fail, but their touch, their embrace, and the fire in their eyes say everything. For the first time in years, they are truly together, no pretending, no running, no barriers. The past cannot be undone, but tonight proves what they’ve always known: the fire never died. And now… what comes next?

Years of longing, regret, and silence come crashing together in a single room. She arrives in heels and a long coat, every movement deliberate, every glance igniting the fire between them. He sits, heart pounding, longing and restraint tangled in equal measure. Words fail, desire lingers, and for the first time in years, the impossible feels close enough to touch. But can they act on it, or will responsibility, fear, and the lives they’ve built keep them apart? The fire burns hotter than ever. The question remains: what happens next?

A lifetime of longing boils over in a single day. Small talk masks years of love, desire, and regret. Every glance, every brush of hands, every unspoken word ignites the fire they’ve tried to bury for so long. The day ends, but the pull doesn’t fade. The next night, he calls. A hotel. A chance to talk. And just like that, the past collides with the present, forcing them to decide whether to let the fire win… or finally walk away.

She hadn’t loved like that in years. Not because she didn’t want to, but because loving him once had taken everything. Then she saw him again. No words. No warning. Just a glance that reopened every wound and reignited a fire she thought had finally burned out. He looks at her with regret and desire, she looks at him with anger and love, and suddenly the years between them feel meaningless. They’re not young anymore. The kids are grown. The past still hurts, but maybe, just maybe, now is the time to be brave. Or maybe this is the moment that breaks them for good.

She built a life without him, raised her children alone, found love again, and created something steady and real. But some loves don’t disappear. They linger in the quiet moments, in the questions that never stop asking why. He chose another life. Another woman. Another path. And yet, the truth hurts most because she knows he loved her,and still does. To him, she was temptation. To her, he was the love that never stopped burning.

Christmas changes after 50. Not because something disappears— but because what matters steps closer.

A month of silence turns into survival. They keep their distance, knowing one wrong step could destroy everything they’ve built with other people. Then one night, she learns she’s pregnant, and the truth changes everything. Held in his arms, they finally admit what they’ve always known: they want each other, but can’t have each other. When he chooses duty over desire and leaves, she is left to carry the weight alone, through pregnancy, depression, and motherhood. Years later, she discovers he’s moved out of state. And the question remains: Did love really end… or did it just learn how to wait?

They know it’s wrong. They know it can’t be right. Yet even while loving other people, they still long for each other in the quiet hours when honesty hurts the most. On a Valentine’s night meant for someone else, they finally break, drawn together by a love that never faded, only waited. By morning, he’s gone, leaving behind silence, regret, and a longing that aches deeper than before. When they stop talking, the question lingers in the dark. Was that goodbye… or the beginning of something they can never escape?

Ever feel fired up?! You ever feel full of so much energy that you're about to explode!? Like you're about to get up and go running all day? Yeah. Me too.

They drifted apart, lives pulling them in different directions. He loves her. She loves him. Yet confusion, fear, and circumstance created a distance they couldn’t cross. Years pass, friendships remain, other relationships bloom, but the fire between them never dies. Even with a baby in her arms and a pregnant girlfriend by his side, the love they tried to bury is still there… burning blue, waiting, impossible to ignore.

She’s in love, but confused, her heart caught between desire and fear. The night at the lake still lingers in her memory, magical and fleeting, yet nothing since has matched it. They can’t finish what they started. Every touch, every glance teases her, every moment pulls her closer and lets her go. As she starts to drift away, the question looms: Will their love survive, or will the distance between them become impossible to bridge?

He drove her home in silence, and then his phone rang, a call that changed everything. She didn’t hear from him for the rest of the night, and suddenly the warmth of their night at the lake felt impossibly far away. Confusion, longing, and desire pull her in every direction. She can’t stop thinking about him, about the way it felt when he held her, and about the unfinished moments that linger like a secret. Will she find the courage to reach for him? Will the night drive and stolen moments bring them closer. or push them apart?
