The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

As of 2024, there are currently 46 women awaiting execution in all of the United States overall. Why am I looking this up? This @newyorker.com story got me real good. Read it yourself. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

I know we're all looking for a cozy cup of the good days right now but I wish the crafters/quilters/knitters in this article weren't so down on the indy stores. Are those shops really "hard to find" or is is about the 40% off promo codes, coupons and other discounts? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/s...

Art is soothing. We need soothing. We need art. I went to the Gemaldegalerie this morning with my daughter for some soothing. We saw "Fashion Meets Masterpieces" - a highlight of fashion week - which showcases 55 "young and upcoming designers" next to Old Masters. Stunning!

I see the pushes to "call my senators" and tell them my feelings about yet another indignity. . . Folx, Thom Tillis and Ted Budd are two of the lousiest men on earth. They couldn't care LESS what someone from blue Durham has to say, even if I could get through their steel walls. But also:
