The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Trump Just Gave A Bonkers Excuse For Why He Shared An AI Image Of Himself As Jesus—And Nobody's Buying It

He is completely unhinged.

Photo of my 91-year-old mother outdoors in a winter coat.

When I was a baby, my mother took her kids outside every single day even in the winter because she thought fresh air would be good for us. Now that she’s in her 90s, I try to do the same with her, no matter how cold it is.

I look forward to this auction every year!

I love Harriet the Spy so much! I think I have some of the same goals -- to know everything and write it all down!

Classic. And I now read Winnie the Pooh to my grandkids.

Oh! I haven't thought about this book in years. I read it in 1970 ... and I remember lots of it.

Oh, I loved all of his books.

I took this at a rest stop, but it was pretty much the view for miles and miles through the mountains.
