Michael Patrick Cullinane

Alice Roosevelt Longworth When Theodore Roosevelt became president in 1901, his eldest child, 17-year-old Alice, rose quickly to celebrity status. The public loved hearing about the exploits…

When she was a teen, the public loved hearing about the exploits of the poker-playing, gum-chewing “Princess Alice” who kept a snake in her purse. By the time she died at age 96, Alice was such an institution in DC that she was known as The Other Washington Monument.

Some of them weird guns because the law is written to allow it. Some video cameras. Some catch bully cops. Some just bother everyone. It’s a weird mix and the only uniting element is awkwardness.

Opinion | Welcome to the New Economics of Tipping Changes in technology and custom have shifted the balance of power away from customers.

I feel like Larry David reading this: www.nytimes.com/2023/11/15/o... Tipping as it currently works in the US is because people have more money than sense.

Does anyone else watch First Amendment audits on YouTube and think: this is where the far-right meets the far-left in horseshoe politics?🤪

Opinion | Hank Azaria: To Matthew Perry, God Was a Bunch of Drunks in a Room Matthew Perry wanted to be remembered for helping people get sober. I was one of them.

The story about Matthew Perry has everything to do with the Dr. Ruth story in @nytimes.com: the USA is a lonely place; if we don't start hanging out again (and playing nice) it's probably a story about the collapse of democracy, too. 😔
