The donkey's backside and legs have been overlaid with a pink mermaid tail as he jumps out of the waves with water droplets spraying out. A speech bubble is above the donkey's head conveying our rank on the FISH List.

Well, well, well... the donkey has sprouted a tail fin and jumped right into spot #8 on Charlie Fish's 2026 FISH List of lively independent literary magazines. We're so excited that we might just perform some water tricks alongside the donkey! See the full list at buff.ly/G8FaEQK.

Many years ago, when I drove the kids to school listening to Q107, we always changed the lyrics to the Sleep Country jingle to β€œGo buy a mattress anywhere else.” That’s my story for today. I have other stories too.

We in Europe remember that Canadians died to liberate our continent.

In the face of Trump's madness, EU stands with Canada now!

There is no reason why EU membership should be off the table. πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

kyle_maclachlan Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn't recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision.
What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.
Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I'd ever met.
David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.
While the world has lost a remarkable artist, l've lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own.
I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We'd talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh.
His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.
I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he's gone.
David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.

By definition 50% of any population is below average intelligence. 50% of US voters voted for Trump. Coincidence I think not.
