The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

1. On Saturday, JK Rowling falsely claimed that "there are no trans kids." Her disinformation about the existence of trans people was viewed millions of times. She also previously falsely claimed trans people weren't targeted in the Holocaust. Subscribe to support my journalism.

WE ARE STILL IN THIS. Wipe your tears. This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation. We do not give up. We run through the tape. Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉 Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community. Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.

A stunning short program in the 2002 Olympics by Aleksei Yagudin - the highlight for me is his amazing footwork sequence at the 5:37 mark (I love the crowd's reaction!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB2z...

Mishkutenok & Dmitriev's incredible free skate at the 1994 Olympics was the gold medal performance in my humble opinion (as much as I love Gordeeva & Grinkov). Thoughts? www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNDq...
