What if a dead mall was literally a *dead* mall? Chris and Victoria find themselves in the mall they worked in as teenagers, stuck in the same snowed-in day in 1998 that never ends. The Evergreen Glen Mall, or as it’s known on the other side, it’s the EverMall!
Their old friends are back, as are stores they thought long gone. Mall information is vague and cryptic. Their coworkers seem content to stay there f...

Waking up to having a ruler that isn't actively trying to kill you may be a low bar, but it's one that was finally crossed on Wednesday, and that's worth pointing out.

Take a break, relax, and come hang out with me in Northern Minnesota. On the lake, in the forest, on the dock at night, this is a compilation of hopefully relaxing sounds of waves, birds, and even a wolf howling at the moon.

This week, we have part one of the three part story of Rich, a former Pentecostal pastor turned atheist podcaster of "Living After Faith." Born in Marshall, Texas and drawn into the church by lovebombing, this story sets up his involvement and eventual departure from the pastorship. Strong TW for religious trauma.

Last night, I interviewed returning guest, former Minnesota Vikings star, and author of "Otaku" Chris Kluwe. We mostly talked about current events, history, and the terrifying nature of the way things are progressing. Then some news hit today, and... well... This is coming out early for a reason.
