Evanescence is a band I've liked for years, since hearing their breakout single "Bring Me to Life" back in 2003. The combination of Amy Lee's singing voice, and the Hard Rock chops of the rest of the band make for a compelling combination.
The rest of the band consists of guitarist Tim McCord, drummer Will Hunt, guitarist Troy McLawhorn, and bassist Emma Anzai.
They released a new song on Friday, that is worth listening to, aside from it just being new music. They have a tour announced that kicks off at the end of April, but really gets rolling in June.
This song is "Who Will You Follow" by Evanescence. It was released as a single on 10 April 2026. It will be a part of the album Sanctuary, which is scheduled to be released in June.
The two basic principles of a good map are that districts should be (a) coherent and (b) compact. By “coherent,” I mean that the geography of a district ought to make some kind of sense; counties shouldn’t be split up unnecessarily and districts ought not to cross mountain ranges or major rivers if such distortions can be avoided. By “compact,” I mean that a district ought not to go sprawling over the countryside for no reason. The shape of the district should not resemble a lizard or a crustacean.
A stepfather tried to kill his adult stepdaughters. One of them was killed, one shot and injured. They ran outside where a neighbor intervened by shooting, and killing the stepfather.
Another neighbor later described the shooter as being in shock.
The investigation is in early days, but the cops did not arrest the shooter, because Washington State has a long history of recognizing self-defense, and defense of others, as a legal right.
Puyallup, Washington is about a 10 mile drive southeast of downtown Tacoma, or about a 30 mile drive south of Seattle.
There was an incident in the Buffalo City Schools system, where an outsider gained access to a school and tried to abduct two children. It came to light in April of last year when Buffalo Police Detective Richard Hy (Angry Cops) went on the Unsubscribe Podcast and blew the top off the cover-up.
Since then, it sounds like the Buffalo District Attorney's Office is saying that the school district, and their legal team, is obstructing the investigation.
Richard Hy states in this video that his children will never attend Buffalo Public Schools, apparently because he has seen too much.
Lydia Mugambe, from Uganda, is apparently not a nice person.
A United Nations judge has been convicted of forcing a young woman to work as a slave.
No narrative support from this story. Don't expect to see it on the national media on this side of the pond.
Prosecutors said Lydia Mugambe "took advantage of her status" over her victim by preventing her from holding down steady employment while forcing her to work as her maid and provide childcare for free.

In the world of insane, high-end watches, some of the most insane stuff is from Maximilian Büsser and Friends, or MB&F. The produce more sculpture than watches.
If you're interested in HM9, in the video below, you can have one for just over $245,000. Not in my budget, but I think they are fascinating.
Hollywood needs to stop with the Reboots. They need to stop with sequels, prequels, re-imagining, new time-lines, whatever. But they can't. They are addicted to the idea of "mining IP," even though that idea hasn't worked in a while.
Marvin Montanaro the Movie Monster is editor for That Park Place and Geeks and Gamers. He showed up on a couple of podcasts/YouTube channels I listen to, and/or watch, and I've come to like his take on the entertainment business. While he doesn't hit the financials as hard as Valliant Renegade, he does cover the business.
Everyone picks a side. And yet somehow Warner Brothers has managed to unite both sides in saying, "Yeah, no thanks to this Harry Potter series."
The left has spent years trying to burn this franchise to the ground. And the right, well, they were still here, still buying, still supporting, and now they're walking away, too, because of decisions like Black Snape and the constant attacks on JK Rowling.
Which means that this show, this massive, expensive, years in the making reboot, has achieved something almost impressive in its failure. It's become a show for no one.
Warner Brothers, which is not the most successful Hollywood studio in existence, tried to appease the Left, and still do a Harry Potter show. In the process they pissed off everyone who wasn't on the far Left. They are left with very expensive show, that no one is interested in.
Far be it from me to defend Eric Swalwell, now accused of rape and other “inappropriate” behavior by at least four women. If CNN is willing to vouch for the credibility of Swalwell’s accusers, then certainly I will not cast doubt on their veracity. However, I have never supported Swalwell, and have not voted for any Democrat for more than three decades, so my hands are clean — I bear no responsibility for Swalwell’s wrongdoing, and can applaud his destruction with a clear conscience.

New Jerseyans are fully locked and loaded – and they have the all-clear to walk around in public with fully-loaded handguns.
In the three years since a U.S. Supreme Court decision dismantled the state’s previously strict standards for concealed carry permits, the number of approvals has increased nearly tenfold after what gun rights activists describe as decades of pent-up demand.
Gun controllers and dictatorial politicians are most impacted.
New Jersey police departments issued just 667 new carry permits between December 2019 and June 2022, less than 1% of the permits issued from July 2022 to December 2025. The state passed that benchmark of new permits before the end of August 2022, within two months of the Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen on June 23, 2022.
Senior Assassin is a game involving squirt guns. They were trying "eliminate" people in a guy's driveway. He called police, thinking there was a problem.
Before officers arrived, her son showed up and fired several warning shots into the ground out of fear for their safety.
This is not allowed in most places, and not allowed in Louisiana.
Authorities later located and arrested several of the students, who are now facing criminal mischief charges. The man who fired the weapon was also cited for illegal discharge of a firearm.
Don't be stupid. Everyone is stupid in this incident. The high school students I can almost understand, as it is sort of the business of high school students to be stupid, but with all of the coverage of Ding-Dong-Ditch recently, you would think someone would realize that acting like a threat is bad.
And just don't do warning shots. Or at least know where they are and are not legal. They are mostly not legal.
Kenner, Louisiana is in Jefferson Parrish, about 10 miles west of downtown New Orleans.

In yet another jaw-dropping display of elite hypocrisy, Barack Obama’s Chicago Presidential Center – long derided as the “Tower of Doom” – now requires proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent residency just to enter a ticket giveaway for its grand opening ceremony on June 18, 2026.
I for one, am not surprised. Chicago politicians never have to live by the rules they expect everyone else to follow.
The answer to the following question won't surprise anyone...
HYPOCRITE: The Obama Presidential Center in Chicago — opening this June — is restricting entry to its grand opening ticket giveaway to only U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.

Clay Travis @ClayTravis, "Yesterday many “experts” told you we were headed for nuclear war & spent the entire day losing their minds. Today the Dow opens up 1300+ points, S&P rises nearly 3%, & oil has dropped $20 a barrel. As always, it pays to be rational.

The dialectic negation of Canada at the linguistic level. It used to be French and English negating each other. Now it will be, well everything negating everything
Damn, this was a heck of a scam. But it’s all over now.
This guy’s political trajectory is going the wrong way. He’ll be running for court clerk in the next decade, I suppose.

Tehachapi, California is about 120 miles east of San Luis Obispo, or about a 40 mile drive east-southeast of Bakersfield.
Self-defense is a human right, and it just might be your legal right in California.
They asked me to re-record my answers and send them over. What you see here is the result: my complete answers, roughly 2 minutes per question, each answer thorough but concise.
It’s my director’s cut.
It was originally about a 1 hour video, but the recording died for some reason... He went the extra mile and recorded a 23 minute version.
Several music outlets refer to Joe Satriani as a virtuoso. I won't argue the point. He is one of my favorite guitarists, and his style is unique. I may not recognize the song, he has created a lot of them over the years, but his style stands out.
I had been listening to a lot of his recent work, from the past 5 or 10 years, but today we have something a bit older. It may have too much energy for this early in the morning.
This story is just wild beyond words, but what infuriated me was the reference to “independent journalist Christopher Hale,” when anyone could have done a Google search and learned what I have told you about Hale, that he is a Democratic Party operative, with a shady reputation and no credentials whatsoever as a “journalist.” Furthermore — and I should hope my Catholic friends see this as I do — what are we to make of the fact that George Soros has expended vast amounts of money to influence (or perhaps a better verb is subvert) the Catholic Church?
[Krystal Ball is] basically repeating Iranian propaganda here, demanding a military coup d’etat against the President of the United States. To repeat what I previously said, nobody knows exactly what Trump’s rhetoric signifies, and while we could speculate about what Trump intends to do, my hunch is that it’s nothing that would justify the “military revolt” that Krystal Ball is calling for.

Professor Yamane at Light Over Heat - Illuminations #6. Lock, Stock, and a Lot Going On. (The video is interesting, espeically if you have not seen Professor Yamane's presentation on the 5 facts about gun culture.)
I returned virtually to my M.S. and Ph.D. alma mater, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, to speak to students of Dr. James Bigham (see more in “Light Over Heat” below) about “Five Essential Observations on Guns in America.” I provided a broad overview of the central findings of my 14 years of study in about 30 minutes.
The flood of data from the Artemis 2 flyby is being posted in glorious high definition, and large files to NASA's usual places: Flickr, and NASA's images page. Artemis II has its own "Mission Science Page" that features some nice photos, too, just not strictly the flyby pictures.
During Tuesday’s liberal freakout, Democrats were denouncing President Trump as a genocidal maniac because of his threats to destroy Iran. Then, about an hour before the 8 p.m. deadline he’d given the Iranian regime, Trump announced that a deal had been reached for a ceasefire
Fast forward to the early 2020’s and the local gendarme actually got a warrant to search for weed and a ‘kidnapping victim’ in Afroman’s home. It was a pretty destructive search and the coppers in question showed themselves on his video system to be, IMO, totally unprofessional
Were it me, I’d pull all personnel and all equipment off the base, and destroy everything that the US had bult at those airports….buildings, refueling, fuel storage, and runways. Let the explosives engineers have fun. Leave nothing that the US built since the inception of NATO.
A south Alabama burglary suspect who fell through a ceiling during the break-in was discovered by the homeowner, who beat him with a dog gate, Dothan police said.
He entered the house through an attic vent, and was apparently in the house for 2 hours before falling through the ceiling. The article doesn't address, "Why?" Drugs may have been involved. He was arrested a short time later after being tracked by a K-9 unit.
Dothan, Alabama is about a 100 mile drive south-southeast of Montgomery, or about an 85 mile drive north-northeast of Panama City Beach, Florida.
Self-defense is all about attitude, and using the weapon or weapons that you have.
Only about 10 days after the brutal and senseless murder of Chicago college student Sheridan Gorman, Mayor Brandon Johnson was heard expressing his fear illegal immigrants are feeling unsafe in Chicago.
What. The. Fuck.
But then if the Democratic Machine that runs Chicago cared about the safety of the legal residents, they would probably back up the police more, instead of hanging them out to dry at every opportunity.
Read the whole thing for a look inside the mind of the Democratic Party. (It isn't just one crazy mayor, it is the entire Party.)
