Gentle but powerful, simple but unforgettable.
Talarico: Elon wants our land. He's already trying to buy one of our beautiful state parks down in South Texas. He wants our water for these AI data centers. And he wants his very own personal United States senator — and that's what he thinks he can get with Ken Paxton.
Political advertising is everywhere during election season, but louder messaging doesn't always mean better ideas. I'd rather see candidates explain their plans clearly and let voters make informed decisions.
🇫🇷 A peaceful, authorized concert by the Orchestre du Nouveau Monde was interrupted after tear gas was fired during a rehearsal. Despite initially continuing to play, the orchestra was forced to stop to protect musicians, attendees, and instruments.
A leisurely morning, a good cup of coffee, and nowhere to rush. Sometimes, that's enough.
Ossoff: "At a rally earlier this week in Ohio, the president egged on supports who assaulted a woman demanding the release of the Epstein files. Because if you can count on one thing from this White House, it's their tireless commitment to war, inflation, and covering up sex trafficking."
Another piece from 2005's "Pride and Prejudice" for your evening. (And once again, I hope you enjoy the LED light show outside my window 😂) Darcy's Letter - Dario Marianelli
Campaign slogans are easy to remember, but real solutions take more work. I'd rather hear a clear plan for lowering costs, improving healthcare, and creating better opportunities.
A chameleon's tongue hits its target in a hundredth of a second, reaching over twice its body length. For many predators, nailing it on the first try is survival, not luck.
U.S. retail sales rose 0.8% in September, but higher gas prices accounted for much of the increase. The headline number looks strong, yet spending outside gasoline was more modest. A good reminder that rising sales don't always mean consumers feel better off.
It was brought to my attention that Meghan Markle did the Key & Peele thing at a public appearance with Harry today
The Dot-com Bubble Around 2000 Technology stocks surged on previous optimistic expectations, but valuations subsequently fell, severely impacting many internet companies.
There is a quiet grace in letting things be. Not every storm needs an answer, and not every battle needs to be fought.
People in Vatican City express their best wishes to Pope Leo as he spends a night in the hospital after successful surgery that saw part of his right lung removed and a confirmed cancer diagnosis, the Vatican says.
I don’t expect everyone to think the same way. I do hope we can disagree without losing respect for one another.
Practicing My Texturing With A Palm Router And A Cove Bit. I Could Do this On The CNC But It’s Something Therapeutic About Hand Carving.
DelBene: Since Labor Day, we’ve had 101 races move in our direction—18 yesterday. There’s momentum in every corner of the country, including in districts that they gerrymandered to try to make safe for them. In places like Florida and Texas, we have opportunities….
Americans are dealing with real challenges every day — the cost of living, healthcare, jobs, and security. Political drama won’t put food on the table or solve everyday problems.
U.S. Homeland Security investigators searched Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington-area home on October 12 as part of a criminal investigation. Omar said she would not be silenced and called it political intimidation. Democratic leaders criticized the action as an abuse of power.
Fuel prices might seem like a small daily concern, but they affect almost everything that moves. Commuting, deliveries, farming, and small businesses all feel the impact. It's interesting how something happening thousands of miles away can eventually show up in an ordinary household budget.
ALSO Justice and vengeance are two very different things. The government shouldn’t have the power to execute people, especially when our justice system doesn’t deliver equal justice. Race, wealth, and access to the best legal representation can determine who lives and who dies.
