For those unaware, the DFL in Minnesota is the standard Democratic Party, it grew out of a merger of the Democratic Party and the MN Farmer-Laborer party in the 1940s
Amra Thetys Series sounds fun. Clichés when executed well can be fun. Will take a look!
It's pure popcorn, don't think about it too hard fun.
ChatGPT describes the hypothetical book thusly (this sounds like a book that I would pick up based on it having an interesting description, but later be disappointed by, also somehow the main characters name is the same as the author?):
In the sprawling neon megacity of Aurix, memories are currency, and forgetting is a service you can buy. “Delete & Repeat” is the motto of MemEdit Inc., where Creator once worked as a senior technician scrubbing trauma, rewriting truth, and building better lives—for a price.
But one morning, Creator wakes up in a blank apartment with no ID, no connection to the memory grid, and no digital footprint. Surveillance doesn’t see her. Her former coworkers don’t remember her. She doesn’t appear in any registry—not even her own memories show her face in the mirror.
As she begins a dangerous search for who deleted her and why, Creator uncovers a subnetwork of “ghosts”—people wiped clean by the system—and a conspiracy to control not just what people remember, but who is allowed to exist at all.
Now, Creator must decide: is she rebuilding her past to reclaim her identity—or rewriting the world to forge a new one?
It is contentious because of how much of a change it is relative to the books before, but every time I work my way through the series I enjoy Ghost Story more.
I'm continuing to make my way through the Amra Thetys Series by Michael McClung. I’m On Book 3, The Thief Who Knocked On Sorrow's Gate. It is a super cliché, but fun Chosen One who is a Super Thief has to save the world type series.
It's one of my favorite series. If you'd like to read just one book to get a feel for it, Dead Beat was written as a soft introduction because the TV show was coming out on scifi at the time. If you're willing to start from the beginning, the first 2½ books are enjoyable but pretty cliché. About midway through the third book is when it really starts to take off and hit its stride. There's a reason it's one of the most well-known urban fantasy series and it truly has some really fun moments.
Too lazy this morning to make this into the appropriate meme. Sorry, you'll have to use your imagination.
Married 5 years? Not sure what to get? Try a set new set of knives. A set of knives: the traditional way to say “we’re still doing this.” Display a new set of knives in the block on the counter. Touch them. Feel their weight. You will certainly not regret giving a new set of knives.

That's fair. I was thinking standard in the sense that they caucus and fundraise with them.
