Ironically guys like Mittens Romney tried to establish better tax incentives and credits for those parenting-inclined for years. Never got critical mass.

RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

This makes so much sense. Never call a plumber of electrician to fix things at your house: just do your own research

On the Mount Rushmore of falsetto head voice with Prince, Aaron Neville and someone else. I enjoyed this story. Learning how uncomfortable he was with the public spotlight, how his music was a conduit for his internal artistry. Perfectionizing over sounds. Never comprimising his art for the public.

RIP D'Angelo. Amazing talent and unreplicable sound.

D'Angelo, R&B's reluctant icon, has died at 51 www.npr.org/2025/10/14/n...

The expressive singer made just three albums, including his 1995 debut, Brown Sugar, but retreated from the public after each. He had been battling cancer, according to a statement from his family.

Rules matter!

Wait, sorry I've just been informed the NFL has a rules committee whose inaction or action has shaped the state of play for two decades. See: Illegal contact, kickoffs, challengeable pass interference to back off again.

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…
