Fuzzy socks are cute, but if someone you love is dealing with cancer, a home-cooked meal or help with laundry would mean way more.

Even those who are not interested in meditation can see a new way of looking at things in this article. And you can easily grasp the concept without worrying about the new term "interbeing."
Thich Nhat Hanh’s idea of “interbeing” says we’re deeply interconnected. A new book on ‘mindful democracy’ argues that embracing this idea could help us learn to work together again.

Carolyn Kirby's research for her new novel, Ravenglass, made her wonder what lay behind the apparently radical shift in men’s fashions in the late 18th century: the invention of the ‘masculine’ style that still dominates menswear.

I was having a good day until I saw this. Yes, we're talking about traditional Medicare, not Medicare Advantage or Medicaid. It shouldn't affect me right now, but it will affect the people in the six pilot states and it's a slippery slope.
Starting Jan. 1, traditional Medicare recipients in Washington state will face a new hurdle to get certain procedures covered — private AI companies that get paid based on how many claims they deny. (via @kuow.org)
Thousands of Washington state Medicare users could soon have claims denied by AI

'Restaurant' comes from the same French word that gave us 'restore.' This is the reason why there is no 'n' in 'restaurateur.'

Exactly. I'm agnostic and celebrate the solstice myself. I also celebrate Christmas with my kids. It's a religious holiday as well as a cultural holiday for them because my late husband was Catholic. My favorite carol is 'O Holy Night.' I don't see a conflict, and I don't feel like a hypocrite.

WOW. There is so much research in this article I had to take a break and go back to finish reading it. (The research included a visit to a mobile home park in my part of the world.) It was fascinating and infuriating to see how he got rich. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Guest opinion writer Georgia Fisher writes, "One day, we may all look aghast at the century when just about everyone hurtled around freely in 4,000-pound machines. After all, we no longer have to climb to the top of rickety coal trains like Victorian commuters once did, or teach skittish animals to pull us around in buggies, either.

I love the way these historians' minds work, and I love the way these people solved the problem many years earlier.
How Easter Island's giant statues were transported remained unsolved for decades. Physics, morphological analysis and a comprehensive 3D map now show the moai, or statues, were "walked" upright across the landscape using principles of lateral oscillation. buff.ly/Lj0PMep
Drones, physics and rats: Studies show how the people of Rapa Nui made and moved the giant statues – and what caused the island’s deforestation
The mysteries of Easter Island, subjects of speculation for centuries, yield to scientific inquiry.
