Last Friday we started a group at The Spark of Hudson on “How to Live a Good Life.” Despite announcing it only a couple of days earlier there was terrific turnout with almost twenty people attending. The motto of The Spark is “Learn Together” and in this spirit we will be exploring this challenge as a group. We started this first session with two reflections. The first one was to imagine yourself at the end of one’s life feeling deeply content. Where are you? Who is around you? How have you l...

As of Friday, state health officials reported 1,136 cases across 41 counties.

Trump: They were screaming at me about affordability. I said, what's affordability?

Trump: We like Sophie Cunningham. You have a lot of men wanting to go and watch her. She's beautiful. You're not allowed to say that anymore. But Sophie is a beautiful young woman. You probably wouldn't mind her on the team not to help you with points, but to help you with attendance.

Trump doubles down on his false claim that Haitian immigrants are eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio:

"Remember during the debate, I said some of the things they were doing? I was right. Turns out I was right."

Trump: I don't do this with men very often. I started examining his body. I looked up and down. I looked at his ass.

A former Trump campaign staffer's claim that Senate nominee James Talarico (D-TX) was in an Ohio psychiatric hospital unraveled as audio surfaced of the MAGA operative contradicting his own denials about conservative outlets declining the story over legal concerns.

Rhein Amacher, who says he worked on President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, placed the calls to the hospital, the Texas outlet Current Revolt reported Sunday.

Current Revolt later reported that Amacher had said during an X Space, a live audio chat, that news outlets passed on the story over legal concerns. Amacher adamantly denied the account Sunday night, and Current Revolt answered with a recording of his remarks.

Talarico had been off the campaign trail for nine days with what his campaign called the flu, Rolling Stone reported.

The Trump administration ignored the court’s instructions again. Over 400 trees were chopped down at D.C.’s public East Potomac Golf Links over the holiday weekend without proper advance notice even after government lawyers promised the judge ample warning before any irreversible work.

Look at this clock. It’s a clock. I bought it once because I needed… a clock. It’s $29, which is totally reasonable for… a clock. Then it was Daylight Saving Time one day, and I went to update it, but… it was already updated. That’s because: The Atomic Time Feature conveniently allows the clock to […]

Gruber is right. The only way for the others to compete with Twitter is to start innovating. Get rid of the limits. The funny thing is Twitter, the dominant leader, is moving forward and getting rid of character limits, and introducing styles and links. They're acting like the little guy while the others, Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, aren't doing anything to be more useful. That whole market is stuck in 2006 and the myth that 140 chars somehow was magic. It wasn't. It killed the web as a writer's platform. If you want to compete with Twitter, drop your proprietary protocols, hook up to the web standards, and peer with your competitors. I wouldn't be surprised if Twitter joined you. They have the same kind of competitive spirit that big companies have. It's time for their competitors to not win users through guilt, rather by providing a better service.

Q: Are you considering firing Kimberly Guilfoyle?

Trump: Well, we’re looking at it. We’re not happy.

The narrative that Zelensky blew up Russia’s disinformation capability is a great story. Unfortunately, it just isn’t true.
