America's superrich are riding high again. After losing a collective $500 billion last year, the nation’s 400 wealthiest people have gained it all back. This elite set is now worth $4.5 trillion in aggregate, tying a record set in 2021, and it takes $2.9 billion to make The Forbes 400, another tied record. Half the gains came from rebounding technology stocks. Eight tech moguls added $10 billion or more to their fortunes. One name you won’t see: Donald Trump. The ex-president’s fortune fell 19% to $2.6 billion. Net worths were calculated using stock prices from September 8, 2023.
The wealthiest people in the U.S. are as wealthy as ever—and the cutoff to make the list now stands at a record-tying $2.9 billion

Time for #2
This is the second article on my review of the ideas in The Four Agreements. Here's the first article: I knew that I'd move forward with this series, but I put it off as Agreement #2 is a big stumbling block for me. I'd like to say I decided to get out of my own way and thus wrote this, but that isn't the truth. (Since Agreement #1 is to Be Impeccable with Your Word I surely need to own up to that)

Exploring the Depths of Rhysand : The High lord of The Night Court
Rhysand: A Complex Portrait from "A Court of Thorns and Roses" Rhysand, the High Lord of the Night Court in Sarah J. Maas's "A Court of Thorns and Roses" series, is a character whose multifaceted nature captivates readers from his first appearance. With his dark hair, striking violet eyes, and commanding presence, Rhysand immediately stands out as a figure of both allure and intimidation. However, beneath this exterior lies a deeply complex individual whose journey from perceived villain to beloved hero is one of the series' most compelling arcs.

Trauma Carnival
I have unpopular opinions on one of my old favorites, The L Word. First is: Jenny is my favorite character. Second: The show was originally about Jenny, her trauma, her broken identity and the way her sexuality was explored as an awakening that brought up many memories of childhood abuse.
