Ohio gave the world leaded gasoline and chlorofluorocarbons. Where is the Thomas Midgley Jr. license plate commemorating Ohio's impact on the world?

The Conference of Catholic Bishops is... not playing around in this brief.

O'Malley is 100 percent looking out for the George family, he was a junior member of the Bill Mason machine which was more careful than but benefitted from Jimmy the Dimora and his cast of felons... GOP criminals like the Haslams and Georges love "Democrats" like him.

I noticed my the Cleveland RTA Transit app calls it "Washington and Lincoln Day" to clarify who to celebrate.

Did the WP publish this as an example of "that was a long time ago" to help those who need help when they all but confessed to crimes in emails sent from a device nearly as old Pepys's diary, a Blackberry?

My local coffee shop gave me a somewhat involved handmade St. Valentine's Day card for "John the Pour-over Guy." My loved one was impressed by it, too... but did tease me for insisting on calling it Saint Valentine's Day and not just Valentine's Day.

With you, twitter took away the only content I sought on that platform, so now I won't guiltily be looking there at all. I appreciate your work and am glad you're adding paying subscribers.

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies.

It was a "sideshow," I was told.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

It’s hard to overstate how freakish it is for law enforcement who just shot someone to be shuffled off to other assignments with no investigative period at all.

Americans Bear Almost All the Cost of Trump Tariffs, Study Shows President Donald Trump’s duties on imported goods are paid almost entirely by American importers, their domestic customers and ultimately US consumers, a study from a German think tank concluded.

The study found that only about 4% of the tariff burden is shouldered by foreign firms, with a β€œnear-complete” pass-through of 96% to US buyers.

Catholic Vice President Vance takes to social media to justify killing of Renee Good After the tragic shooting of Renee Good at the hands of ICE, the Catholic vice president of the United States took to social media to justify the killing.

www.ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-...

"As a Catholic [...] Vance knows that protesting, fleeing or even interfering in an ICE investigation (which there is no evidence that Good did) does not carry a death sentence. Vance knows that lying and killing are sins. He doesn't care."

Feels like we're at the stage where Nixon caved to the pressure and released transcripts of the Oval Office recordings, which turned out to have been heavily edited and misleading.

We might be jumping ahead to the 18 1/2 minute erasure, though.

But I'm not sure the 1-to-1 comparison really works?

You should quit social media for good Platforms optimized for engagement warp our politics, erode attention, and harm our wellbeing. Here’s how I minimize time on the (anti‑)social web.

Today is one of those days when I should have taken my own advice. Flooded with rage tweets on the other platform. Garbage way to communicate that only brings out the worst in people. All dunks, no conversation. Complete waste of time trying to engage there www.gelliottmorris.com/p/you-should...

Tainted transfer of CSU radio station to Ideastream should be reversed: editorial - cleveland.com To avoid further embarrassment, both Cleveland State University and Ideastream should acknowledge the irregularities and missteps, and unravel the deal until it can be transparently and openly debated -- including with full input from the loyal WCSB community, volunteer staff and others. And CSU still owes its own institution and the community detailed explanations about why such a move was even contemplated, writes the editorial board of The Plain Dealer and cleveland.com.

#cleveland #ideastream #wcsb Took a couple weeks, but the shadiness of a publicly funded non-profit destroying a public university's volunteer station under cover of secrecy has regional attention www.cleveland.com/opinion/2025...
