The Lost Art That Gave Figure Skating Its Name Once defined by geometric shapes traced in ice, Olympic figure skating now belongs to the Quad God. The past, and present of this sport.

I’m still waiting for a figure skater to perform to selections from the β€œBarbie” soundtrack wearing flesh-colored underpants. #FigureSkating #WinterOlympics

Also the first sentence is poorly written. Why would I be thinking about the effing garage?! Do you mean, what would be the perfect VEHICLE for a single car garage? Then write that.

Wtf is the bZ? Are Subaru and Toyota sharing a technology platform? I’ve never heard of of some of the cars mentioned in this article. Good journalism is supposed to supply the context of what the hell you’re talking about, not send the reader off to google it.

I put a lot of thought into re-harmonizing the "verse" part 7 different ways. I kept hearing "Firebird Suite" in the Olympics figure skating (which I knew from the lead-in music on the "Yessongs" live album, lol), and realized that's what's happening there too - same melody constantly reharmonized.

"Boss Lincoln" reminds us that Abraham Lincoln didn't float into the presidency, but clawed his way there

A new book examines the 16th president's life through the battle royale of Illinois partisan politics. It's ugly β€” and familiar, writes columnist Neil Steinberg.

As athletes compete in Italy, the future of the Winter Olympics hangs in the balance. People are not just questioning how to keep the Games alive, but whether they should be kept alive at all. https://cnn.it/3OwERzg

Costco’s CEO is an unlikely risk taker | CNN Business Ron Vachris does not fit the profile of a typical risk-taking executive.

Over the past year, Costco has taken a risk by adopting visible public stances at odds with President Donald Trump’s agenda. It makes Costco one of the few big companies to defy the administration β€” and get away with it: https://cnn.it/4qrfjB7

"Fences" resonated because I have extended family who grew up in Pittsburgh in the '50s/'60s and I recognized those characters and their struggles with what success means and what success is "allowed."

I've only seen the 3 August Wilson film adaptations, and "Seven Guitars" in a Chicago production that didn't do anything for me. But my God, what a writer!

I didn't see the play so I don't know if the film dialed up the supernatural elements, but it's definitely a crossroads type of choice of selling your cultural heritage for a financial stake in life (land), with the choice being offered by those who enslaved you.
