    Letters arc complete and posting Monday with Chapter 10 of The Knight, The Fey Maiden, and the Bridge Troll too

    I have up to Chapter 99 complete in Letters From a Little Princess Monster, which is a little embarrassing since I *started* the arc in the middle of Covid season. It could have graduated from several universities in that time. Rather than tease bits out of it like I have before, I'm just going to go straight into my daily publishing routine and let you catch up on where I am on The Knight, The

    Sun will be down for maintenance on Monday. Sorry for the inconvenience. --NASA


    Here's a story by Estee you can read to take up the time until the Sun is all tuned up and returned to operation.

    EA Total Eclipse Of The Fun
    The second anniversary of the Return is approaching, and all Luna wants for the celebration is one thing -- something Equestria hasn't seen in more than a thousand years. This could be a problem.

    Big Leather Egg Sunday

    A reminder (as John Cleese put it) that today is Big Leather Egg Sunday, and to celebrate, I'm linking the Best Football MLP story of all time by Kris Overstreet. Starring... Rarity?

    Goodbye Toby Keith, American Legend

    Undoubtedly, if Toby Keith had ever done a tour in Equestria, Applejack would have been right there in the front row, whoopin' and a hollerin' as loud as possible. I think every high school in the US had a proud friendly guy like this, and we raise our red Solo cups in tribute to his last beer run. Salute!

    New Year 2024- New Projects 1939

    Still working on everything else this year, but I've got a sequel/prequel to Equestria: 1940 in the works, both a series of short stories set in the 1940 world up to the Equestrian moon project, and a war story showing some behind the scenes details about the war. For a little country the size of Ohio in the northern Atlantic, it has a lot of potential. Explosive, mostly. Snippets after the

Chocolate Cake for Breakfast · 7:04pm Jun 11th, 2016

Good news for humans and alicorns (found on Instapundit). New research shows chocolate cake for breakfast may⁽*⁾ help you lose weight.


(*) or not.

Rumors of this research being funded by extra-terrestrial entities is entirely false. Really.

Actually, I heard it was meant to supercharge your brain with energy for the day.

I mean, any reason to eat chocolate cake for breakfast, let's just make sure we know what results we're going for. :V

Chocolate with fat burns slower than chocolate with sugar, so even though theres less calories in sugar, because its an explosion of glucose instead of a slow conversion, it breaks the body. According to one theoretical possible line of published articles.

Cadbury chocolate is healthier than Hershey. (Rumor):trollestia:

Reading this, I first guessed it was linked to this elaborate hoax - in which a researcher set out to show how easy it is to get the media to reproduce bullshit science.

But this is different. In addition to the study it cites relating chocolate intake to cognitive function, a bit a googling suggests the link with weight-loss is referring to this study: Meal timing and composition influence ghrelin levels, appetite scores and weight loss maintenance in overweight and obese adults. Which says that eating a high carbohydrate breakfast can help prevent weight regain. The meal timing is the critical bit, not the chocolate.

So stuffing yourself with pancakes will work just as well.

4015559 Didn't the guy who put out that report, admit to it being a fake to prove the point that a lot of modern "research" in healthy living was actually a lie.

He said chocolate helps you loose weight, went on Doctor Oz, then admit it was all a lie to prove his point.

Yeah, what 4015616 said!

"It's your favorite! Powdered donut pancake surprise!"
