Echoes of Valor: Unraveling the Tragedy of Coriolanus
Standing tall amidst the tumult of William Shakespeare's theatrical tapestry, Coriolanus, crafted around 1608, resonates as a symphony of ambition, love, and fatal flaws. Nestled within his Roman quartet, it emerges as the Bard's final exploration of tragic catharsis, a poignant tapestry woven from the threads of Plutarch's "Lives of the Most Noble Grecians and Romans." Though shrouded in the mists of time, Coriolanus, unlike its print-less life in Shakespeare's day, endures, etched within the pages of the 1623 First Folio.

Buried Alive
Image by Headfone Here’s the last Buried Alive episode for public release. After this you’ll have to wait for Headfone to make it available on their app. This is also my last audio drama for the company. I’ve never been very social and Headfone and Vocal are the same in that you need to be apart of the club to find fun in participation. My writing now relies more on building worthless crypto. It’s OCD in a way. Thanks for reading, enjoy, and remember West Coast Milblogger returns next year, LOL. Have a Happy New Year:

Israel’s Supreme Court has made a significant ruling regarding Netanyahu's proposed judicial overhaul. Here is what we currently understand about the decision.
Israel's Supreme Court has made a groundbreaking decision by invalidating the government's plan to curtail the authority of the judiciary. This move has the potential to reignite tensions in the country, especially as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues his battle against Hamas in Gaza. The court, with a narrow margin of eight votes to seven, declared that the government's amendment to the reasonableness law was unacceptable. This amendment aimed to strip the Supreme Court of its power to deem government decisions as unreasonable and was part of a larger effort to undermine the judiciary, which was approved by the Knesset last year. Netanyahu's judicial overhaul has already sparked widespread protests in Israel, with citizens accusing the government of undermining the country's democracy. This unprecedented ruling may further divide Israel's war cabinet, consisting of Netanyahu and two prominent critics of his court reform, while the conflict in Gaza persists. Let's delve into what we currently know about this ruling and its potential consequences..

Emma Fenu's "In Cerca di Te"
The (large and hidden) part of me that monthly flooded the menstrual Red Sea with silent tears, that feared envying other people’s pregnancies, then ended up loving the products of those pregnancies gutlessly, considering them compensation and a belated gift, that part, I was saying, recognizes the suffering of Emma Fenu in her “In Search of You”.

A Morning Immersed In the Magical World of Harry Potter
During this recovery period books are my best friends, so sitting on the couch with a steaming mug of freshly blended tea and a book in hand I was set for the morning atleast. The book was 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone', the debut novel in the seven-part Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. I loved it since childhood and still continue to do so, there are very few stories that are timeless and still interesting. No matter how many times I went through it, it never gets old.
