Mine is a cautionary tale of misspent youth.

Lifelong voice of dissent.

I left Twitter (nobody calls it X) on election night and haven't looked back.

Survival is the slowest and most painful form of suicide

These are the end of days, mine anyway.

Women did not compete in ski jumping at the Olympics until 2014. One of the reasons?

19th century pseudo-science!

There was a belief, held by heads of the skiing federation, that ski jumping was not "not appropriate for ladies from a medical point of view."

What I have always loved about figure skating at the an Olympics is how everyone is clearly there to root for their nation, but a GREAT performance gets a rousing cheer no matter what, no matter who.

It’s always about the skating, more so than any other sport. There’s something great about that.

President’s Day is a reminder that leadership is about earning trust and serving the public good.

While Trump tries to divide and bend the rules for himself, we recommit to the Constitution, the rule of law, and our democracy.

Robert Duvall was a kind and gentle man. He had that crinkle in his smile that made you think he had some precious secret, all his own.
Rest well, Robert.

Obama: "At some point, you age out. You're not connected directly to the immediate struggles that folks are going through. I'm not making a hard and fast rule here, but I think Democrats do well when we have candidates who are plugged into the moment. To the zeitgeist. To the times."

In his second term, Trump has hit Canada with aggressive tariffs and repeatedly said it should become the “51st state.”

In an escalation of this trade war, he’s threatening to stop the opening of a new U.S.-Canada bridge until his demands are met.
Trump Threatens to Block Michigan-Canada Bridge He Once Championed
The president’s targeting of the bridge shows just how drastically U.S.-Canada relations have fallen between his two terms.
