Jonathan Joss's recent murder has been a topic of deep emotional discussion in my household this week. Joss, age 59, best known for his role as John Redcorn in King of the Hill, was an American actor of Native American descent who was murdered by a neighbor on June 1, 2025.

Pride Month: What's the Point?. Content Warning.
Everyone is wishing everyone "Happy Pride Month" this June. So you'll be asking, "What's wrong with that"? Well, for me, there is much wrong with it. The LGBTQ community have much to celebrate.
