I'm officially done with imposter syndrome.

You deserve flowers, Gay Men’s Chorus On birdsong, technology, and a certain Parable

This week's column has a soundtrack. Truly, if you are feeling crushed by current events, you deserve to listen to this piece of music, and all of the people who created it deserve flowers. They also deserve our support.

Watching Al Franken play a Senator on TV while Donald Trump is our president in real life is incredibly depressing... and oddly comforting. We've missed you, Senator. @alfranken.bsky.social #theresidence

Three days, three countries: behind the scenes of Marco Rubio’s visit to Central America - El Colectivo 506 A reflection by three journalists on Secretary of State Marco Rubio's visit to Central America in February 2025.

Three journalists who've never met decided to compare notes. We were surprised at what we learned—things we hadn't seen in the headlines.

I can't with the #GulfofAmerica. POTUS is not the President of America. The USA is one country in the Americas. Somos estadounidenses; los Americanos son todas las personas del continente. Only in my country do we think we own the term America. He can't even do the xenophobia accurately.

Thanks!

A year-end hack for the overwhelmed A little tweak that helps when the calendar moves too fast

It’s just *unreasonable* to expect us to say goodbye to one year on December 31st, and start the new year the very next day. The next minute, even. Who came up with this?

Join me this year for a January intersession.

This is terrific - thanks! Followed all.

Preserving your energy is now what matters most It always was, but now the stakes are raised
