We say goodbye to an icon of international cinema, Claudia Cardinale.

Known in the 1960s as "the most beautiful woman in the world", Cardinale enchanted audiences in classics such as 8 1/2 and ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST.

Our thoughts are with her family and friends.

I filed a #FOIA request with FBI for any documents the bureau has on Ozzy Osbourne. FBI responded saying they conducted a search and did not locate any responsive records.

Happy 82nd b’day, Mick Jagger — who left the London School of Economics to pursue music.

“The Rolling Stones were just beginning,” he said. “I thought, ‘Why not give it a go for a year?’ .. I wasn’t trying to be a rock star — I just thought, ‘This looks like more fun than working for Shell Oil.’”

I think people have yet to wake up to just how amazing e-bikes are. I commute about 20 miles a day, using about 10 cents of electricity. (Mostly on safe trails.)
Every time I ride my brain is ecstatic. I get a workout, but don’t need to shower when I get to work.

As I spend my morning reading opinion after opinion I wish I’d been able to read yesterday, I’m reminded what a disservice it is to all of us for SCOTUS to operate this way. So many rulings so quickly makes it impossible for any of us to adequately understand them.
