The full beauty of this song was only revealed to me after I learned its meaning. "The lyrics convey the sorrow of distance, as the singer pleads for a visit, even if only once a year, to alleviate their suffering." Perhaps not to everyone's taste. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAJd...

I use Gmail for email communication. A few months ago, a change (update?) defaulted to suggestions for spelling and grammar. I don't mind spelling suggestions, but the grammar suggestions inevitably erase my style, my voice, and substitute it with their own. Does Google not understand this?

Why can't this be part of America, what makes it rich, more rich than what the richest men can offer? www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/d...

Imagine sending your kid to your neighborhood elementary school, and then learning the whole thing was built on a former fracking waste site. Now imagine the people who built it telling you it's perfectly safe, but refusing to release any hard evidence. Bonkers story from @saulelbein.bsky.social

What a cool interview! This man is running for office in Maine. He offers a simple, plain view of how to fight against money and a rigged system. I've heard it from others, but he puts it as simply and straight up as can be. Unlocked article. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/16/m...

The loss of morality in the USA matches high ambition. This is how it looks at Stanford. "In junior year, 49 percent of the 849 computer science majors who responded to an annual campus survey said they would rather cheat on an exam than fail." (Unlocked article). www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/o...

It’s really hard to describe how insane this story is. Of course Patel went snorkeling over the USS Arizona - that’s what happens when you put an irreverent internet troll in charge of a government agency. Disrespectful assclown.

I spent my adult life protecting the world and my work is still not done. I hope that the next generations can pick up from where I left and carry on this work.

Megyn is correct. I read the transcript. Bari Weiss systematically edited Netanyahu's remarks to remove all passages she suspected might offend Americans, and many of the edits were rankly deceptive.

Modern industry is waging an unrelenting assault on the living earth, impoverishing the land and the sea. Will we continue until all the flowers, all the song birds and all the sea life are gone, stopping only when we are left with a lone tree and a few blackbirds?

"American social media have become seas of racism, misogyny, antisemitism, islamophobia and hate in all its forms" Saying what's plain to see. It isn't just the American government which is degenerate: it is its business class too.

This was a hard story to report. Newborns who don’t get a vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop a condition where they bleed uncontrollably. But more and more families are declining the shot. And babies are dying. www.propublica.org/article/more...

"So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron. He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, 'These are your gods'."
