Apple had its exciting ‘Let Loose’ event a few days ago, revealing a new line of iPads. Unfortunately, the latest iPad innovations are costly. If you don’t need all the newest features, you may be better off shopping refurbished.

In the refurbished market, you’ll find incredible value on pre-loved Apple gear, like this nearly new iPad 6th Gen, now $154.97 (reg. $249). It even comes with accessories like a case and screen protector.

While this iPad is refurbished... Читать дальше...

Young buyers are being forced to come up with "creative solutions" to an expensive housing market.

When Nancy Hall told a college advisor that she eventually wanted to be a CEO, he said that was an unrealistic goal because "only men are CEOs, and typically men that are CEOs are over 6 feet." Because Hall was 5 feet tall, "he didn't think that was in my future." The incident motivated her...

Chris Bradley freely admits he's not a conventional sports guy, but when a neighbor mentioned "this golf thing" about a decade ago, it caught his attention. That would be disc golf, which uses Frisbees and baskets instead of balls and holes. The appeal, Bradley said, is the wide range of abilities and intensity the sport...

Print and podcasts, social media and streaming platforms--people have never had more options when seeking information and entertainment. Data from market research firm 3Gem, however, brings some order to the chaos by highlighting why someone might choose one medium over another. Streaming platforms, for example, win for entertainment, while more consumers prefer either social media...

Stuck at home during the pandemic lockdowns of 2020, a whopping 70% of Americans began cooking for themselves--a 50% jump over the prior year. For the sake of those whose culinary acumen didn't rise above scrambled eggs and turkey sandwiches, New York Times Cooking editor Sam Sifton penned a piece that recommended a new brand...

TWEET, tweet! The Biggest Week in American Birding organized and hosted by the Black Swamp Bird Observatory in Oak Harbor was a 10-day festival May 3-12 in northwest Ohio, “The Warbler Capital of the World.”

To speculate on what the future of American culture might look like in a second Trump presidency, we must consider the past: the formative New York and educational years of Donald Trump himself. By a curious turn of fate, the young Donald and I share a birthplace and, generally speaking, an education at the same institutions of higher learning. I can’t pretend to know the influence our common background has on his attitude toward the arts, but I can make some informed guesses by contrasting Trump’s journey to my own. Читать дальше...

Last December, when asked if he would abuse power if reelected president, Donald Trump said, “except for day one.” In short, if we are to believe Trump’s own words, the constitutional order as we know it will be subverted from the moment he takes office. Of course, there are many unknowns here, starting with the capacity of Trumpists to implement what they have already told us they plan to do. But Trump and his people have all but told us that, in a second Trump term, the United States might approach... Читать дальше...

“Does fascism intend to restore state authority or subvert it? Is it order or disorder? Can you be conservatives and subversives at the same time?” Six months before the March on Rome in October 1922, when Benito Mussolini was the head of the Fascist Party and its decentralized militia movement, he isolated the contradictions at the heart of fascism that remain fundamental to authoritarianism today.

In Danville’s quiescent morning
my neighbor knocked—
“I’m Ebony from next door,
I found a snake
and if my husband ever knows
he’ll sell our place and move away.”
I wanted to help
so I took my snow shovel
into summer, and Ebony and I
went behind the house.
Wild, new grass—
tough contractor’s mesh
on a fledgling lawn
where I found a five foot snake
beneath the nets.
Now I knew, in Boyle county, snake
eyes slit like vertical blinds
meant venom, days... Читать дальше...

“Would you describe the Iranian regime as ‘Islamo-fascist’?”

I hesitated before responding. The term was a favorite of the neoconservatives at the time, which was a year after Operation Iraqi Freedom began. It was a way of ginning up a possible new U.S. military adventure in Iran. But the question was from my former professor, a man I liked and respected, Ira Katznelson. Not a neocon. I had dropped by while visiting New York after living for a few years in Iran, and I knew he wanted my honest opinion. Читать дальше...

“Welcome to the nightmare in my brain,” said Heather Axford, director of Central American Legal Assistance, when I asked to interview her about a possible second Trump administration’s impact on immigration issues. CALA was founded in 1986, in response to the wave of refugees fleeing the Salvadoran civil war, by Anne Pilsbury—she retired as director in 2023, but remains as senior attorney—and Sister Peggy Walsh, a nun, and operates from the basement and a small office of the Transfiguration Church in an ungentrified pocket of Williamsburg...

One evening in the autumn of 2019, I was seated at a banquet dinner with some of the capital city’s best and brightest. It was a very Washington dinner, full of lawyers, lobbyists, and People Who Know People, chatting about politics over plates of rubbery chicken.­

I look for uncomplicated peace in ocean and sand,
afraid of the kind of candor you draw
from me, my cowardly deep-sea regime.
