I know many may feel it best to leave bedroom doors open at night, especially children's, but it's not. We have firewalls on our computers...think of that bedroom door as a firewall. Also, always have working smoke detectors and a designated family meeting place in case of a fire. Do you have those?

I was called "the walking newspaper" in our house because I knew everything—I didn't tell everything; I just knew it! No one was surprised that I chose a career in journalism and writing.

This Thanksgiving, try my favorite chocolate pie. I've used this recipe for decades, and it's still my favorite. Be warned: You'll be sneaking back into the kitchen for another slice! Find the recipe on my website at carolyntillery.com #carolyntillerydallas #riptidedallas #inmydallaskitchen

As soon as the temperatures start to drop, I'm in the kitchen making hearty dishes. Although Carne Guisada is a year-round staple in Texas, it's particularly delicious this time of year! #carolyntillerydallas #riptidedallas #inmydallaskitchen Find my recipe at carolyntillery.com

I'm an enormous fan of Elizabeth, Ron, Abrahim, and Joyce and their crime-solving adventures solved using their collective lifetimes of experience. Watch out, world; when "senior citizen" time hits, I'm going to be just like this gang! #carolyntillerydallas #riptidedallas #murderbooks

One thing I've loved about my long career in journalism is getting to know interesting folks from all over, like Gary Mulligan, a retired nuclear chemist turned entrepreneur. If you are in New Jersey, stop in his Dickey's Barbecue for some great food and big laughs.

It might surprise many to learn that, unlike cannoli, lasagna, and pizza, Italian cream cake didn’t originate in Italy. The American South is credited with creating this delicious, moist dessert. The ...

I love Murder by the Book in Houston! They sent me Elizabeth George's new Lynley novel as it arrived in the store. Unfortunately, having pneumonia has really knocked the wind out of my sails. Alas, Lynley and Havers will have to wait. #carolyntillerydallas #riptidedallas #murderbooks

Taking Kimmel off the air has nothing to do with HIM and everything to do with YOU. He’s losing his show, but you’re losing your rights.

A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.

Wow. What a big man, throwing a woman to the ground.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

shawn @mulchy.bsky.social · Sep 19

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Worth remembering this interview with Kay Graham and how she handled publication of the Pentagon Papers. They had just taken the paper public. And they owned tv stations which faced licensing pressures.

How Katharine Graham Defied A Federal Judge To Publish The Pentagon Papers

Graham, who died in 2001, held the title of publisher at The Washington Post from 1969 until 1979. She spoke to Fresh Air in 1997 about her 1971 decision to publish the top-secret documents.
