He’s still blaming Biden and Obama. HE IS THE PRESIDENT. His party controls congress. It’s HIS stupid tariffs, illegal War, and lousy billionaires-first policies that are pushing housing costs to record highs. Unbelievable.

The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail shows just how transformative public transit can be. But for too long, riders have had to put up with delayed trains, overcrowded platforms, and long-promised expansions that have yet to become reality. Our communities deserve better.

New in PN: Trump faces his worst bankruptcy yet "Should November be the disaster for Rs that analysts predict, Trump will morph overnight into something less than a lame duck POTUS with a ticking expiration clock: he'll become politically bankrupt in ways all-too-familiar to him as a businessman."

There's something about social media & AI Tech-bros who either never really grasped social relations (or failed at them) and therefore think: what a relief it would be to replace human interaction with technology! But have no clue how much their inventions undermine society.

They also don't recognize how their ersatz technological replacements don't actually do what it says on the tin. Yes, the baby hears a book. Is that the only point of reading to a child? No. Does this man not understand the bonding function? Yes. So his answer is insufficient. Doesn't work.

Again and again russia destroys Ukrainian books. After each strike on a book warehouse, I film how Kyiv bookstores react. Today, my favourite one. In the video: some books by Knygolove, whose warehouse was hit yesterday. The bookstore asks people to support affected publishers by buying a book.

This home heating oil for the last year. Up 50% to approx $6 a gallon in Mass. NE is v dependent on heating oil and this is gonna wreck people. It's gonna be even more painful for elderly on fixed incomes w old houses. So we'll have 1000's of elderly in cold homes afraid to heat them. Disgraceful.
Price of home heating oil at $6/gal from $4 earlier this year.

In the 'The Lustre Bowl,' (1908) William Nicholson plays with the shining contrast of the bowl against a dark black background. He would set up a still life and leave it untouched for days, absorbing every element. The flash of light lifts the picture out of the ordinary.
