MORNING MEME
FAMILY TIPS
- In a world buzzing with smartphones, the humble landline is making a quiet revival. Why? Reliability. When cell towers go down or Wi-Fi cuts out, landlines still work. Families are rediscovering the charm, too—one number, one shared phone, and no endless scrolling. Plus, kids actually answer it! The landline isn’t just old-school—it’s becoming the new symbol of slowing down, reconnecting, and keeping communication simple.

REALITY CHECK
- Charlie Kirk’s memorial drew over 200,000 visitors and hundreds of millions of eyes online, with a catalogue of speakers including the president’s cabinet, faith leaders, and Erika Kirk. The consistent message was one of faith: the story of Christ’s character, topped off by Erika Kirk saying to her husband’s assassin: “To that young man, I forgive you.” To see Erika’s full speech, click here.
