November 16, 2025
My grandparents on the Palminteri side lived in the same town as us in the very same house my Dad grew up in with his five siblings. It was a modest, if not small, ranch. Our house wasn’t a big house by anyone’s measure, but it was certainly bigger than the OG Palminteri house, where,

There Are Unidentified Flying Objects in the Sky
October 9, 2025
Science Fiction has turned into reality in a lot of ways. Some of the technological ones, in a very grim dystopian way. Except for UFOs! Which have been here, like, a lot. Sure some of the people who have seen UFO’s are quacks, but even if 50% of them are true, you’re still left with
