    One of the most masculine things you can do is to serve others, particularly your wife and kids. Don’t let anyone tell you different.

    I need you all to understand something. Demons are demons. Orcs are orcs. Monsters are monsters. They’re not stand-ins for anything. They’re not allegories for anyone. They do not represent anything other than perhaps an embodiment of evil. Stop being weird.

    In this article, the author admits to watching all of THREE MINUTES of Bluey and judging based off of whatever those three minutes contained (he doesn't even say). As a Christian father who has seen almost every episode of Bluey, let me say this: Bandit is an amazing father. He

    Readers added context
    Bluey is so named because she is a Blue Heeler, a type of Australian cattle dog. She, like many girls, takes her coloring from her dad. Chilli, the mom, is a Red Heeler. The younger pup, Bingo, takes her coloring from her mom. It’s not gender commentary. bluey.tv/characters/blu…

    My kids all get a book at bedtime. They are 6, 4, and 2, so the younger kids typically pick picture books while my oldest prefers me to read him books about bugs or sports or some other topic. That’s great. I want them to read what they want to read. But I also want to make

    “So your client is one of the city’s richest men?” “Yes” “And you think he is secretly a vigilante who spends his night beating criminals with his bear hands?” “That’s right, Dave.” “And your plan is to blackmail this man?”
