I wrote about this wonderful Taylor concert film, which I was lucky to see in a big loud rowdy theater. A favorite moment, out of many: during “The One,” when she sings “The greatest films of all time were never made,” a fan near me yelled “Until now!”

We need to learn to manage our emotions and achieve inner peace. Our education should include an understanding of how to achieve peace of mind. Education should teach us how to live properly, how to balance our wish for physical comfort with mental comfort.

For decades, John Lewis not only gave all of himself to the cause of freedom and justice, but inspired generations that followed to try to live up to his example. On his birthday, we honor his memory, and work toward continuing his legacy by creating change in our communities.

Gotta admit it’s really something to see Wall Streeters with a long history of treating our economy as a casino complain about a message board of posters also treating the market as a casino

Elon Musk is now worth $208 billion.

You want to know how he did it? He skipped 34.67 billion lattes. It's that easy.

If you want to know why COVID relief is tied up in Congress, one key reason is that Republicans are demanding legal immunity for corporations so they can expose their workers to COVID without repercussions.

Dems don’t want you to die for a check. That’s what we’re fighting over.
