This is a thoughtful, level-headed, compassionate, piece. It's neither both- nor one-sided (¿pan-sidism?) Charles Blow had the courage to write it; we have the responsibility to discuss it respectfully

That photo kills me. What a loss to our world of science, music, and fun. My thoughts are with his family, trainees, friends, fans and fellow musicians. I will miss especially his smile and subversive sense of humor.

“Unhinged from judicial standards, the court now roves through the policy landscape, overturning decades of law and reordering Americans’ lives and institutions. It upends women’s health, revamps college admissions, snatches student aid from millions and redefines public…

Sickened by this week's SCOTUS decisions, I followed a thread through the case for reparations, to this tragic event 100 years ago. Have it and Tulsa and… in mind on 4 July.

Sad indeed, but what a life! Wayne shorter changed Jazz more than anyone, while respecting the legacy. There’s jazz up to Wayne and Jazz after Wayne. What an incredible book he has left us. Thank you Wayne. I will celebrate u tonight at Terri Lyne Carrington’s Carnegie concert.

In 1979, President Carter had solar panels installed at the White House. These were later laughed at, derided and removed by officials of Reagan Administration.

ATTN WISCONSIN: President Barack Obama REMINDED YOU that Senator Ron Johnson is just NOT that into you ESPECIALLY where Social Security is concerned. Ron Johnson should be ASHAMED of himself, but he has ZERO shame!😡
