Been reading about the communication policy of NAM and the New World Information and Communication Order. It is so depressing. Agree or disagree with the US's position back then, at least it still accepted a rules-based order.
The news just gets worse and worse. Every morning in the cemetery where I walk Leo, I see those little graves marked by stone lambs and sleeping infants, and it makes me feel unbearably sad.
I was surprised by a headline in today's WaPo that reads "8 things you should know about resistance training."
It was about exercise. Pity.
Why didn't one of his advisors tell him to ditch that ridiculous hat? Geez. Have some respect, buddy.
It's an odd feeling while driving to Florida to recognize that I'd better fill up my gas tank tonight as prices are likely to be a lot higher tomorrow.
As someone who grew up in Florida and had a mis-spent youth without sunscreen, I'm pretty sure it's pre-cancerous cells, and a chemo-therapy cream. His doc is right that it's "common," but it's also not un-serious.
So I can't stand Kristi Noem, but I don't like the misogynist delight in attacking her, either. The policies are not hers alone; they are those of the Republican administration.
No, a twelve-year old would be using AI, so the grammar would be better.
I'd say that it's time for the chair of the Peace Board to resign.
Perhaps this story will remind us how important the @washingtonpost.com still is? To heck with Bezos -- support the journalists who continue to bring us this kind of reporting. wapo.st/3N5cpEn
Good one!
Don't boycott the Washington Post -- that's nickel and dime stuff. Boycott Amazon.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
What was the 25th Amendment ratified for if not for this?
This is my congressman. This is why I've given up on calling his office to express my views.
As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor
Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes
Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day
Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods
Anybody else think it's weird that in the 21st century US we are using the word "viceroy" to describe Marco Rubio? A viceroy is "one who rules a country or province as the representative of his sovereign or king and who is empowered to act in the sovereign’s name." wapo.st/4slM8Sd
This NYT article makes it all pretty clear -- but the people who ought to read it, won't. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...
Thinking of everyone who is having a hard time today. Leo designed this Christmas display himself.
Just listened to the King's speech on the BBC. Classy, non-denominational, and with a huge nod to the veterans of WWII and the Allies' defeat of fascism. Merry Christmas, everyone. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Killing a story by refusing to be interviewed was a tactic used by the Soeharto regime during its 32-year military dictatorship in Indonesia. wapo.st/3YL4T3D
So what did everyone else on the plane do when he called her "piggy"?
Maybe it's not the worst thing in the world. As a colleague once said, "you never know when you're having good luck."
Did Virginia Senator Tim Kaine not see the results of last week's election? Virginians don't want a losing "deal" with the Republicans.
Today 170 people turned out to protest on the sidewalk in front of the Walmart on Elmira Street in Sayre, PA, one of the reddest of small towns in Bradford County. I'd say that passers-by were about 10 to 1 in favor of the protestors.
I have already shared with every Asian journalists' group I know.
Thanks!
"If we want different results, we have to abandon standard practice."
YES.
Finally, someone put together what I and many other critics have been saying about political coverage — then took it further. reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/harm-reducti...

Skechers? Oh dear. :-(
So now we know what it must have been like to have lived in Germany in the 1930s. Everything must have looked normal -- sort of.
I want you all to just watch how quickly mainstream media moves on from this story now.
