Season 24: Diablo and Siegebreaker

A Barbarian wears butterfly wings, a horned helmet, and a mix of armor. Her sword casts lightning. Her shield has spikes. Next to her is a small cow.

After finally hitting Level 60, my Barbarian was ready to fight Diablo and Siegebreaker. Doing so would not only help her level up some more, but also are required to complete part of the Season Journey.

California deserves a governor who has political experience. Larry Elder is a talk radio host.

Let’s compare the qualifications of Governor Gavin Newsom and the qualifications of Larry Elder. One actually has a background in politics, having won at least three key political positions. The other is a talk radio host with no background in politics.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland announced that he has filed a lawsuit against the State of Texas to stop unconstitutional Senate Bill 8. It was allowed to become law because the conservative members of the Supreme Court literally did nothing. The result was that Texas was able to make an unconstitutional abortion law go into effect.

The conservative members of the United States Supreme Court chose to do absolutely nothing about a Texas abortion law. As a result, the law was allowed to go into effect. The Texas abortion law prohibits abortions after six weeks, which is before anyone with a uterus will have any idea that they are pregnant.

People are fighting against the Texas abortion law in some very creative and legally interesting ways.

Everything You Need to Know about the Texas Abortion Law

A Texas abortion law made its way to the Supreme Court of the United States. Typically, the entire Supreme Court would schedule the case for a hearing, listen to arguments made by both sides, question the hell out of the lawyers, and then take time to make a decision. Instead, the conservative members of the court chose to drop the ball and allow Texas to enforce a six-week abortion ban.

Season 24: Desolate Sands

A screenshot from Diablo III says "You have reached Level 57!" Below it is a Barbarian who is surrounded by light.

In this video, my Barbarian started off at level 55. Instead of running through more Nephalem Rifts, or doing more Bounties, she went to the Desolate Sands.

The county I live in has issued an indoor mask mandate. It started today. I rarely go outside anymore because I have two auto-immune disorders. When I do leave the house, I am almost always the only one wearing a mask.
