The Hague. But I’m guessing you’re about to give me a rural-urban explanation that applies here too?

I’m in the Netherlands. So far, I’ve not needed any cash or Dutch to get by.

It’s certainly convenient, but a little off-putting. How did Visa and English become the linguae francae?

Ok. I’m not part of this world so I really would love a sincere explanation, even if it’s so much D’uh.

Why don’t the other reporters in the room stick up for her? Repeat her question until he answers it? Something?

Former Univision anchor keeps Spanish-speaking Oregonians informed with DIY newscast Antonio Sánchez launched "Noticias Noroeste" on Inauguration Day in 2025. The daily Spanish newscast on YouTube has evolved into a source of news during a time of great fear and upheaval for Oregon’s ...

Talk about stepping up for a community!

Univision left Portland in late 2024. Antonio decided to fill the void with his own daily Spanish-language newscast. It’s all him, and he’s worked his ass off on this project for a year now.

Back in the day, I would’ve advocated for Rashomoning the MN videos. Show all of them raw to people across the spectrum and report on their conclusions.

Not sure that would be useful anymore.

The Takeover of Malheur Kicked Off a Decade of Lawlessness The wildlife refuge occupation set the stage for Trump, January 6, and so much more.

And thus began our decade of white men openly, brazenly and vigorously doing crimes and getting away with it.

“The refuge occupation was a rash before a fever, a symptom of our approaching political chaos.”

My Miserable Week in the ‘Happiest Country on Earth’

This was my favorite article of the year. It made me an even bigger Finnophile.

And yes, I’ve heard all the ways Hagler was robbed. But it was such a beautiful technical fight, it doesn’t really matter who got the decision.

Every time I hear of yet another influencer stunt match, I think back to the 1987 Sugar Ray Leonard v Marvelous Marvin Hagler fight.

A master class of skill, grace and athleticism. It’s like they were dancing.

A Few Good Men is my favorite movie. Full stop.

This nugget about Jack Nicholson’s performance from @jamellebouie.net is so spot on.

I’ve always been fascinated by submariners. I grew up a Pirates fan and could watch Kent Tekulve for hours.

Department of Labor Holds First Prayer Service U.S. Department of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer attended a Pentagon prayer service. That inspired her to start her own monthly prayer service.

Sec. Chavez-DeRemer has begun monthly prayer meetings. This 1st one had some red meat for conservatives.
