Only an asshole would be a friend of Jeffrey Epstein and an enemy of Canada.

Looking forward to Jon Stewart's appearance at the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival in nearby Jamestown, N.Y., on Aug. 9.

Remember to mention that John Oliver talked about Colbert in Erie, where John had a ball rolling out his rebrand of the Erie SeaWolves as the Erie Moon Mammoths. Great AP coverage of his visit to Erie.

I was sent to NYC for an Erie story after 9/11. My son had died from an aortic aneurysm on Oct. 1, 2001. I remember two things from that trip: The help I received from being part of the collective mourning in New York and the realization that my son, almost 27, had been a gift for his time here.

Reading this book, published in 1990, is helping me cope with our inhumane world.

I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Donald Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.

Great recommendation to watch the presentation, then the news clip. I am not technology brain, just a retired (well, semi-retired) journalist concerned about the deep decline of local news, both print and TV, in my hometown. Great food for thought and possible solutions.

Michael Corelone had his faults, but he would've made an outstanding media lawyer for ABC or CBS

Thank you for recommending it. My local PBS station did not carry it, but I was able to watch on PBS in NY.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

We are Harvard researchers. Trump’s cuts are endangering lives The president’s funding cuts at the university will harm cancer patients, ALS sufferers and 800 babies and toddlers, academics warn

If you were wondering why Trump’s war on Harvard matters, here is The Times of London detailing the costs: cancelling a planned TB vaccine, ending a clinical trial for severely allergic children, killing a new generation of air purifiers, curtailing research on ALS.

Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis is hitting me hard. After my husband was diagnosed with stage 3,I wrote about the need for men to be screened. My husband had four good years after being diagnosed; the last year, when it spread to the bone, was so hard on him. I pray for Joe Biden with all my heart

Wasn't the ABC interview "exclusive?" Language loses its actual meaning. Well, so does "interview" when what actually occurs with Trump is a lie-filled stump rant.

We chose to watch CBC tonight to learn more about the Canadian election results, the PBS News Hour which did NOT have fawning coverage of Trump's 100 days.

As a practicing Catholic who has found solace in humor at times of grief, I point out that Pope Francis was very much alive after meeting with comedians on June 14, 2024. A man for all seasons!

Thank you for sharing this! We all can learn so much from the lovely, challenging and hopeful words of Pope Francis. I want to make a new reading list based on his commentaries. Also thankful, again, for my own Jesuit education at j-school.

"Slowly, many of us are realizing that we need to band together."

"It’s time for a comprehensive national civic uprising. It’s time for Americans in universities, law, business, nonprofits and the scientific community, and civil servants and beyond to form one coordinated mass movement."

The Trump regime found a way to be compared less often to the Nazis. It started a gulag system so it would be compared more often to the Soviets.
