Kids grow fast, and so do we.

This fall, we're adding more than 1,000 seats for universal 3-K in 56 zip codes. Childcare will be more accessible and affordable across all five boroughs.

A terracotta horse with a lively facial expression, a slightly open mouth, ears pricked up, and a bobbed tail. It seems very eager to be where it's at. It is Chinese and from 24 to 220 AD.

Look at this incredibly enthusiastic, 2,000-year-old terracotta horse at the Seattle Art Museum. I love a derpy animal sculpture.

when Fred Rogers embarked upon his quixotic adventure, television was understood by the intellectual to have one purpose: selling things

it was a thin medium of small ideas, superficial, beneath respect

toxic

it was absolutely not a mechanism for education, for redress of social inequalities

Again, it is interesting that a single generation was entrusted with the richest, most advanced empire the world had ever known and was just uninterested in keeping it going

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

The US Justice Department withheld testimony that Donald Trump sexually abused a girl when she was 13 or 14 - according to a source who viewed unredacted Epstein files.

This is the worst scandal in US history and should be the biggest news story on the planet right now.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?
