Jane Goodall, one of the world's most renowned conservationists, first found fame in the early 1960s for her paradigm-busting work as a primatologist. In 2021, David Marchese interviewed her about making the world place and the usefulness of hope in the face of fear and anger. nyti.ms/3KvuvOn

In memory of Pope Francis, whose warmth and humanity shone brightly that New Year's Eve at the Vatican. His compassion and humility touched hearts beyond faith. Rest in peace.

Ending the year with a philosophical act: feeding squirrels and a peacock pecans and walnuts. A simple reminder that sharing what we have can be both thoughtful and whimsical. Tomorrow is a new chapter—let’s write it with curiosity, kindness, and maybe a few nuts along the way. 📚🐿️🦚

The Coin introduces us2 a protagonist as unhinged as the world she inhabits—a glamorous, filthy blend of obsession, grief, and political critique. With sharp wit, she confronts the monsters of our era, from Netanyahu to Trump, unraveling the truth behind power, beauty, and humanity's contradictions.
