I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

To all those who say Trump has “single-handedly” wrecked the economy: He didn’t do it single-handedly. Congress could’ve stopped him anytime. The Republican-led Congress allowed him to wreck the economy.

So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires?

Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

You hit publish, and there’s no reaction.

No likes. No shares. Just silence.

But writing isn't about receiving praise.

It’s about leaving parts of yourself for others to discover.

It may take days.

It may take years.

But keep writing, regardless…

liv jarrell's avatar

no one talks about how soul-affirming it is to get a “had so much fun with you” text after hanging out. not a meme. not a tiktok. not a link. just a plain little sentence saying “i like you. i like your company.” we live for that.

like when someone sends “still smiling from earlier” hours after the hang. or when they walk you to your car even though it’s 30 feet away. that’s the kind of stuff that ruins me.

Uncommon advice:

If you don't know what to pursue in life right now, pursue yourself.

Pursue becoming the healthiest, happiest, most healed, most present, most confident version of yourself.

Then the right path will reveal itself.

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid.

But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous.

Courage is contagious.

There’s a term in psychology called habituation: the way we stop noticing things we see often. A painting on the wall. A familiar view. Even a person’s kindness.

The brain filters the predictable to save energy. But in doing so, it risks filtering out what makes life feel full.

Not everything that becomes familiar should be forgotten.

Sometimes, attention is an act of love.

I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.

I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.

I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

when I looked at today's BIG MAIN STORY, I came very close to canceling my subscription to the daily hard copy of the NYT. I think its staff needs a re-haul, probably beginning with the horrible 21st-century idea that if its staff meetings don't resemble Harvard reunions, they're doing something wrong. it was a much better paper when it was mostly MY guys, the Jews from CCNY (that miserable prick Abe Rosenthal being a huge exception...he was no good at all from day one). now, it's pretty pathetic in its insistence that it always has its finger on America's pulse and is always entirely accurate in its diagnosis. I think the paper decided that, even if it was a good thing for the world that Biden won, it's not as good a thing for the NYT. now, even the Book Review is unreadable. oddly enough, the Sunday magazine has gotten pretty good, mostly by embracing those long-form stories. but those current op-ed people are utterly worthless, and on any given day, reading the op-ed page is one of the most dispiriting pursuits I regularly pursue. and, only slightly changing the subject, this CNN deal of giving altogether too much time to guys like John Bolton to pontificate and brag about the "coups" he's planned while he defends TFF by calling him too stupid to be evil (at least that's MY reading of what he was saying) REALLY sucks out loud. thing is, my expectations of CNN are so much lower than they are with the NYT.

What are your reasons for not cancelling your subscriptions to The New York Times, David?

David Levine's avatar

habit? it IS the greatest thing in the world for puppy training, but my puppies are 13 and 11, so that excuse obviously won't cut it. which leaves habit. I see where this is going, Fern, and it's making me anxious....I got it! it reminds me of my father. actually, I think that's really it. seriously.

FERN MCBRIDE (NYC)'s avatar

David, It is good to know that you have at least one good habit and that you remember your father. Shalom Aleichem.

T L Mills's avatar

Sadly, I agree. I have cancelled my subscription in sheer frustration. I was beginning to HATE the editorial page of the NYT. Feeling is similar with the Post. About to give up and subscribe to the Guardian, Mother Jones, the Atlantic and the New Yorker instead. The mag format does seem to lend itself to more investigative journalism. Open to suggestions, as well.

FERN MCBRIDE (NYC)'s avatar

Hi T L. I would not consider cancelling my subscriptions to NY Times and WAPO. Just the other day, HCR called our addition to Mike Schmidt's reporting on IRS' audits of both 'Comey and McCabe, Who Infuriated Trump'. If you check Notes at the end of the Letter, there are often links to articles in WAPO and the NYTimes. Both newspapers have their weaknesses, but what 'journalistically' founded news outlet could be tailored to most of our interests and political philosophy? I elected to recei…
