Thank you, Episcopal Church.

The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

King and Goffin began writing "The Loco-Motion" inspired by the sound of Dee Dee Sharp and brought in Eva to record the demo. The Cookies sang backup on the demo and King herself played piano and sang. Don Kirshner loved Eva’s demo so much that he decided to release the demo. #blackhistorymonth2025

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Congrats on the book...and the foreword, @stevenbauthor.bsky.social!
Huge thanks to @tomcostello-nbc.bsky.social for his elegant foreword to DEADLY HEIST: "From the terrifying moments inside the bank to the mesmerizing legal battle, Steve Epstein gives us a front-row seat to the action... A masterful retelling, replete with heart-pounding moments and surprises"

Rings familiar, from reviewer Ron Charles, who in younger years saw "recurrent elements of #AnneTyler’s stories as a flaw. But I’ve grown to see...decades-long focus on quirky families and wounded people as no more limiting than the rules for writing a sonnet." www.washingtonpost.com/books/2025/0...
Review | Anne Tyler delivers another delightful exploration of sorrow and joy
“Three Days in June” returns to familiar themes and a familiar setting for fans of Tyler. But that doesn’t make it any less enjoyable.

Straight to the point, straight from the city who knows him best...
On Tuesday, Donald Trump declared that the two million Palestinians in Gaza should be forced out of the Strip. Even if it isn’t more than a provocation, there will be a price for his madness, David Remnick writes.
