"Thirteen years ago, he targeted them. Now, they are targeting him.
Connor’s attack on Oakridge High was no ordinary school shooting. All of his victims—Emily, Lindsay, Brandon, Nick, and Mr. Golden—survived, but their lives are now ensnared in secrets darker than the violence that first brought them together.
With Connor shockingly paroled, their buried rage ignites a deadly plot for revenge. As their plan spirals out of control, they come to a harrowing realization: the real danger may not be Connor after all—but each other.
In Killer Changes, Anthony Mormile delivers a pulse-pounding thriller filled with psychological tension and moral complexity, where no one is innocent, and nothing is as it seems.
Listen to Killer Changes today and immerse yourself in a chilling story that challenges everything you think you know about justice."
"Robert Nozick was a professor of philosophy at Harvard University who is most famous for his contributions to political philosophy. His 1974 book Anarchy, State, and Utopia helped establish the classical liberal or libertarian perspective as a viable alternative to redistributive egalitarian liberalism and to socialism. Despite many philosophers’ disagreements with Nozick’s arguments, those arguments could not be ignored.
Robert Nozick was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1938, and received his undergraduate degree at Columbia University in 1959. At Columbia he was active in socialist politics, but during his time there and in graduate school at Princeton University, he was exposed to a variety of political perspectives, and he notes in the preface to his most famous book, Anarchy, State, and Utopia, that it was discussions with friends that “led me to take libertarian views seriously enough to want to refute them, and so to pursue the subject further.” This included ideas such as individual rights, the need for limits on government, and the wealth-growing mechanisms of a free market system."
"James (“Jim”) McGill Buchanan (1919-2013), surely seemed an unlikely prospect for winning a Nobel Prize in Economics when he was born in rural Tennessee on October 3rd.
Many of the works on Buchanan’s extensive list of publications stemmed from a single insight from early in his career: because neither the state nor society is a singular and sentient creature, a great deal of analytical and policy confusion is spawned by treating them as such. Collections of individuals cannot be fused or aggregated together into a super-individual about whom economists and political philosophers can usefully theorize in the same ways that they theorize about actual flesh-and-blood individuals.
Aggregative thinking lumps together a great many individuals into large categories such as “the nation” or “the government” and then treats each of these categories as if it is a unitary thinking, choosing, and acting individual. Under this approach, “the social welfare” is promoted by “the government,” with the latter treated as if it’s an organism possessing a brain, and as if that brain’s main interest lies not in serving itself but, rather, in serving the nation. Overlooked are the processes—all churning with assorted incentives and constraints—that lead individuals with diverse interests to undertake actions such as forming governments, becoming government officials, and dealing with government both as citizens who receive benefits from it and who incur costs to sustain it and to affect its activities.
From the very start, nearly all of Buchanan’s lifetime work was devoted to replacing this approach with the individualistic one—a way of doing economics and political science that insists that choices are made, and costs and benefits are experienced, only by individuals."
"*poetry
My father is a king, my sister is a princess . . . and I am a death maiden.
My heart has been captured by a warrior boy, but a valkyrie has no time for love. Valhalla awaits the delivery of honored dead, and any delay will draw unwanted attention. Attention that will put the boy I love in danger, and my loyalty to Asgard in question.
The threads of fate spin as I struggle to reconcile my role and my love, but the cruelty of the gods may lay waste to the hope in my heart as destiny calls for blood and death.
*includes the poem The Valkyrie and Raven"
"A snowman that comes to life and a stone statue that starts to walk - these all sound like fidgets of an overactive imagination. At some point, sensible adults should get their act together and finally admit that the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus don't really exist, and that there is nothing evil lurking for them in the dark in the basement... but is this really true? The four heroes of this series have considerably different experiences!
Shadowstrings is a series full of strange happenings and mysterious adventures.
Meet university students Daniel, Christian, Claudia and librarian Anne as they encounter the forces of evil - and that sometimes includes the dirty dishes that pile up in the sink!"
