It's still 7 AM, right? Time to get ready for school? I'm still 15, right? Everyone wrapped around my finger thinking I'm so cool? I'm still 100 lbs. right? I still look good at the pool?
I still have yet to find out my best years are now, right? I haven't passed them by? Am I still going through silly things with no real reason to cry? I can't wait to have my first boyfriend. Oh wait, I've already told him goodbye? I can't wait to just slip on these jeans. Wait, now I have to try?
I can't wait to grow up... I wish I could go back.

What is the Taliban's plan to rule the world?
So, the Taliban and Al-Qaeda are still pretty tight, even though the Taliban promised they wouldn't let terrorists hang out in Afghanistan anymore. Turns out, Al-Qaeda might be using Afghanistan as a secret clubhouse to rebuild their crew, and the Taliban is probably cool with it. In other news, the Taliban banned Opium, but apparently Meth is the new trendy drug in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, women in Afghanistan are having a rough time under Taliban rule. No school, no work, and good luck seeing a doctor. Al-Qaeda has been busy setting up safehouses, training camps, and a whole network of fighters across Afghanistan. It's like they're building their own little terrorist Airbnb. Some Al-Qaeda members have been granted positions within the Taliban's administration, establishing loyalty between the groups. The Taliban says they want to rebuild Afghanistan, and they're hoping China will help them out. Speaking of China, they might throw some money at Afghanistan without even asking about human rights. I'm sure that won't backfire at all. The Taliban and other extremist groups have vocalized support for Hamas, but this should not be misinterpreted as support for all Palestinians. Meanwhile, the world's spies are keeping a close eye on Afghanistan, waiting to see what kind of shenanigans the Taliban and their terrorist besties get up to next.

Enroute
The stars and planets all whipped by as Deirdre's crystalline craft sped past them. Her people, the Vlondans, had discovered that the mineral Dianthium which grew so readily on their home world not only kept their hair pink but also was a perfect material for engineering spacecraft from.
