Civil rights groups attempted to sue the Peach State into extending its voter-registration deadlines after Helene, only to lose in court to the same state government officials that had passed those voter-suppression laws back in 2021.

He’s like Clark Kent with peach fuzz: tall, slender, soft-spoken, favoring khakis and long-sleeved shirts and more earnest than a Peace Corps volunteer.

Waking up to the sounds of Princess Peach giggling or Zelda softly cooing “wake up,” is, yes, odd, but I appreciate the burst of frivolity before I start worrying about my to-do list.

If I want to quiet Princess Peach, I need to start waving my arms.

And in time, I may come to dislike Princess Peach laughing as I try to wake up, but for now, it’s been putting me in a lighthearted mindset, a reminder that nestled bedside is this goofy alarm clock that just might help me with my insomnia.
