My wife Elizabeth Birge spotted this great story about upcoming typewriter auction it prompted two questions by me: If you could own anyone's typewriter, whose would it be? And when was the last time you wrote something on a typewriter. nytimes.com/2023/12/07/sty…

Hyman Roth was right. Most casino operators today are more valuable than the $14.1B value of the the deal for US Steel. So is FanDuel. And yet there isn't even a plaque, or a signpost or a statue of him in that town.

So decided to get away from work and a busy 6 months of covering strikes and labor issues and watch an episode of sci-fi alternate history series I've been following, For All Mankind. Spoiler alert - tonight's episode is about a strike on Mars.

Connections Puzzle #204 I never post my results on Connections. And I won’t give any spoilers for Monday’s. But for those who play it, and who know me, you’ll be shocked I got the green category without any errors. 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Love Seth Meyers' opening bits. None more than his "In Other News" segment last night that was so thoughtful and so well written. Yeah, it was funny too, but that was the least important thing that it was. Watch it. youtube.com/watch?v=xw2L6D…

Since start of streaming, Northern Exposure has been on the list of shows I most wanted to be able to stream. This week my wishes were answered. Just watching the first couple of episodes is like getting together once again with a bunch of good friends I haven’t seen in years.

I know it's only March 4 but I think this is going to end up my favorite story of the year - Peter Valdes-Dapena great explanation about why some countries drive on the right side of the street, and why some drive on the left. cnn.com/2024/03/02/bus…

Sad. Chicago was always one of the great newspaper towns on the planet. What has happened to print newspaper industry is a massive loss for this country.

Do you believe the "miracle" of artificial intelligence is going to make it difficult to believe what you see or hear? Yes! That's not Al Michaels you'll hear giving you Olympic recaps on NBC this summer. cnn.com/2024/06/26/tec…

Four starts ago when he shutdown KC, Rodon looked like he could be going to the All Star game. He was 9-2 and 2.93 ERA. Now the only way he goes is as home run derby pitcher.

It really is time to fire him. The June swoon is turning into a rest of the season swoon for the third straight year. You shouldn't get a third chance to show you're the person to pull the team out of it. Boone is not *the* problem but he absolutely is *a* problem.

For years, China was where global automakers went to sell cars and make money. No longer. Great overview of the change in world's most important market for cars by Hanna Ziady cnn.com/2024/09/03/car…

Such a great story by Allison Morrow. Anyone who can work attacks on Suez Canal ship traffic, the danger of counterfeit weight loss drugs & labor intensive wedding dress alterations in a single story has certainly hit the reporting and writing Trifecta. cnn.com/2024/10/11/bus…

First house I ever bought in Indiana in 1992 was only $60,000. Working on a story now about how the avg price of a new car is now nearly $50,000. It occurred to me are probably folks paying more for cars than their 1st home cost. If you know anyone who fits that bill, let me know

Being able to hide $154 million in expenses and not be caught over the course of 3 years. Sounds like that qualifies as the current version of a miracle on 34th Street. cnn.com/2024/11/25/bus…

We are watching in realtime the systematic unraveling of decades aviation safety accident investigative precedent and process from the President of the United States.

We don’t yet know the names of the 67 people we were killed, and you are blaming Democrats and DEI policies and Air Traffic Control and, seemingly, the member of the US military flying that Black Hawk helicopter. Don't you think you're getting ahead of the investigation?   Trump:
