You cannot take these pundits seriously. Chris Cuomo was just railing against Columbia and tax dollars and elite this and that. He went to private school K-12 and attended Yale. Any of these conservatives or moderates who don’t talk about their own schooling first should be ignored.

Don’t Listen to Greasy Gavin Newsom. Listen to Trans Athletes.

This is disappointing. Joann wasn’t perfect, but it was an entry point to crafting for so many. I blame Amazon for this.

Joann, the fabrics and crafts retailer that has supplied quilters, seamstresses and school projects for 80 years, announced that it would close down all of its stores in the latest chapter of financial tumult for the company.
