🇲🇾 On Sept 18, 2025, Malaysia Airlines made history with Flight MH2610, run entirely by women—from pilots to ground crew. While some still clutch their pearls over women in the cockpit, MAS proves daily: the sky’s the limit when women lead.

I get asked constantly -- from friends, family, random people I meet, from separate friends' parents in the last 24 hours -- how I report on politics, especially now, without giving in to despair and cynicism.
I credit Mr. Rogers.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

It's amazing how relevant "Deportee" remains 77 years after Woody Guthrie wrote it in response to a plane crash that killed 28 migrant farm workers being deported from California to Mexico. "You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane. All they will call you will be deportees."

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Don’t use the words “good trouble” unless you have this kinda street cred.
Don’t fix your fingers to type the words. Don’t fix your mouth to say the words. You haven’t earned those words and you probably never will.
