I'm probably more thrilled than most people about Dick Van Dyke still being with us, but everyone needs to stop reminding the universe of the date.
Remember what happened when we all went overboard for Betty White's 100?
You want another Betty White? This is how we get Betty Whites.

I didn't really ever anticipate speaking publicly about this experience but ...

Last year I got divorced from my husband of less than 2 years bc he went down an AI rabbit hole & now thinks he's a cosmic lynchpin and I was a threat to his "purpose."

Ask me anything, I guess?
Do you have a friend or family member getting sucked into a world of spiritual delusions because of their interactions with an AI chatbot? Would love to hear from you for a story: mklee@rollingstone.com

For years, a house on my commute flew Trump flags, always fresh & increasingly rage-baity. After the Zelenskyy disaster, the newest flag disappeared. I expected something nuts to take its place but instead, a new American flag appeared & has stayed. If the most vocal are shifting, there’s hope yet?🤞

I personally consider the boycott a success because it was a baby practice action for people who have never done that before. People got on board! They got to feel what it was like! It was easy! And when they get asked to do something next, they’ll have an experience to build off of.

With the economy sliding toward recession, mass layoffs underway, and a growing geopolitical crisis, now seems like a terrible time for both the president and vice president to be on vacation — just weeks into the job.

I’m over red & blue states. I want a green state; a place that provides fresh, safe food & water for all, invests in public spaces and nature, and nurtures art & education. A state where growth is prized and people aren’t fighting each other, but lifting each other up. How do we get that state?
