Tony Campolo passed away today. He was 89 years old. He was one of the most gifted preachers I have ever heard. If you have a few minutes, listen to him tell the story of throwing a birthday party for a prostitute in Hawaii. It's worth your time.

Paraphrasing from Michelle Obama’s “Becoming” book She asked her Mom why she was holding Barack’s hand on election night “His father left when he was 2. He lost his mother to cancer. He was moments away from becoming leader of the free world with no parents. So I took his hand”

The New York Times invited Connie Chung into a studio with 10 other Connies named after her. When it was her turn, Connie Koh explained she’d picked the name after college. “You’re an iconic person,” she told Ms. Chung, who had grown teary.

Wonderful news!
Moments ago I spoke to Brittney Griner. She is safe. She is on a plane. She is on her way home.

So true! Christine McVie's voice and songs form some of my earliest radio memories. "Over My Head" has been in my head since I was 6. Thanks for the music. nytimes.com/2022/11/30/arts/…
Christine McVie had the most hits of anyone in Fleetwood Mac, yet was somehow the most underrated member. Never flashy, alway great. She was the glue that held all those crazy wonderful elements together. Her songs had a soulfulness unhampered by pretense. RIP.
