Attention NYC: We made it past the earliest sunset of the year.
No, it's not on the solstice. That's the shortest day, but the earliest sunset is sooner and the latest sunrise is later.
So those of us who, like me, are primarily offended by early sunsets have officially survived rock bottom.

I thought Walter Isaacson had a great line about this on TV the other night: That line in the Declaration wasn't a fact, it was a mission statement
In Ken Burns' new documentary, "The American Revolution," the idea that colonists of all stripes took to heart Thomas Jefferson's declaration that, "All men are created equal," was revelatory.
It was a principle which the masses, then and now, deeply embraced. That's why American democracy works.

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

My son just observed that the same people who refer to Epstein's victims as "young women" would call Wellesley College a "girls school." So true.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.
