Citing ‘Inexcusable’ Treatment, Advisers Quit National Parks Panel

The majority of members of the National Parks System Advisory Board have jointly resigned in protest of Trump administration policies.

"The deep state" has been effective at curbing the excesses of capital.

The Republican party has supported looting since 1865.

How Our Bones Might Help Keep Our Weight in Check

Bones could be much more intimately involved in tracking weight and controlling appetite than was previously known.

A very nice study.

I anticipate more work along this line.

Fructose, a sugar, is toxic beyond simple weight gain.

After 950 Years, the Bayeux Tapestry Is Set to Be Displayed in Britain

The 11-century treasure, which depicts the Norman Conquest of Britain, has only been moved very few times in its history.

The relationship of Britain and France has never been comfortable.
Brexit is welcomed by France and resisted by Germany.

Think of a sibling fight.

Join Us for the Sixth Annual New York Portfolio Review

We are accepting applications for the 2018 New York Portfolio Review, where editors, curators, gallerists and book publishers will conduct two days of private photo critiques.

Art has fragmented.
There is no accepted aesthetic.
That may be my ignorance or it may be coppyright law.

Giants Focus Coaching Search on Pat Shurmur

Shurmur, the Vikings’ offensive coordinator, cannot be offered a job until Minnesota’s season ends, but he is the leading candidate to take over the Giants.

I cannot advise on football.
My opinion is it should not be played.

Talking Apocalypse With My Son

For this mother, this all feels a lot like Bomb Shelter Redux.

There is nowhere to run for safety.

People have walked away from that future.
Let the walking continue.

Real Estate

$1.5 Million Homes in Tennessee, Illinois and Hawaii

An equestrian estate in Knoxville, a townhouse in Chicago and a retreat on the north shore of Kauai.

I do not have the capital.

On Artists and Audiences at American Realness

Watching performances at the American Realness festival, our critic was nudged into thinking about artists’ attitude toward audiences.

Dance is dynamic structure.
Top down does not work.
The answer to "how shall I live" is: I am getting there.

Tyler Hilinski of Washington State Found Dead in Apparent Suicide

The police found Hilinksi, who was expected to start at quarterback for the Cougars next season, after he did not show up for a practice.

Football is not healthy.

Health

The Parasite on the Playground

Roundworm eggs, shed by stray dogs, can be ingested by children playing outside. The worm’s larvae have been found in the brain, experts say, perhaps impairing development.

I am not yet worried.

Work on roundworms should be funded.

People should not be kept in ignorance.
