(I’ve seen a lot of clips compiled by news orgs, but some of them don’t link to the full videos.)
I was there, too! Great show … inspiring message.
It's St Brigid's Day so... a thread of fabliss Scots/Irish historical women. First up, Margaret Skinnider from Helensburgh, who supported the Republic by becoming a sniper under the command of Countess Marckiewicz. She smuggled detonators in her hat, Some quine. /1
“It’s the place that taught me to explore, that taught me the world is explorable, forever exceeding our understanding , fathomed yet ultimately unfathomable.” 💚

Kicked off the new year enjoying the snowy conditions with some cross-country skiing on Tree Farm trail in CVNP.
related to this a lot of people in the pundit class need to learn how to just be annoyed by someone or something without turning it into What’s Wrong With America
basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.
What is the historic average for Cleveland in an off-year election?
After having a short stint managing collections for a library and working closely with Baker & Taylor, I was shocked to learn they are closing their doors. www.marketplace.org/story/2025/1...
It was a great show! I saw her play the Kent Stage 13 years ago and was eagerly awaiting her return.

Got a chance to see this last night. It was very good!

Update made on OSM! Thanks for the info.
Did the Gaia GPS map accurately represent the updated Buckeye Trail? Curious Gaia GPS employee here.
Good morning.
The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.
Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

Macy once wrote, "It is good to realize that falling apart is not such a bad thing. Indeed, it is as essential to transformation as the cracking of outgrown shells. Anxieties and doubts can be healthy and creative...because they permit new and original approaches to reality."
Congress just voted to defund public media -- stripping NPR, PBS & local stations of $1.1B. Northeast Ohio stations like Ideastream and The Summit FM now face deep cuts.
“ACA health insurance will cost the average person 75% more next year, research shows”
“The average person who buys Affordable Care Act insurance will be paying 75% more for their premium, according to the analysis from KFF, a nonpartisan health policy research group.”

City health officials are attempting to fill the gap after a Planned Parenthood clinic in Cleveland has closed, citing President Donald Trump’s freezing of federal funds as the reason.
Going on hour 26, but we're still fighting.
A big win for Massachusetts: Republicans tried to kill off new clean energy projects, but we just forced them to take out that terrible provision.
There’s a lotta awful still in there. But pressure does matter. Keep it up.
Was this voted on in the overnight vote-a-arama? I was hoping it might get scrapped.
