The Soundtrack, Part 11 🎵 Other heroines get the slow, sexy suit-up. Loxy gets Whitney Houston, a toothbrush, and a jump to get into her pants. #TheLegendary #indieauthor #superherofiction #booklovers #soundtrack #writingcommunity #booksky

The Soundtrack, Part 9 🎵 The real Vegan Marauder picked her own fight song. Same one I already had in mind. Plus the closing-credits track for an AI waking up for the first time #booksky #indieauthor #superherofiction #booklovers #writing #soundtrack #books thelegendaryfrankking.com/2026/10/20/t...

Most billionaire wealth isn't in yachts or jewelry — that's just a few percent of it. Most is productive business capital: companies that employ people, build things, and fund research. Tax that wealth and you're taxing the businesses that employ us all. Cato's Adam Michel explains.

Volume 2 adds three. Well, two and a half characters. One of them already walked through Volume 1.

Feels like we don’t talk enough about how Peter Thiel, who puppeteers JD Vance and funds Trump, has written that he “no longer believes freedom and democracy are compatible” We are literally being run by people who oppose our very system of government. www.cato-unbound.org/2009/04/13/p...
