                              🎧 The hosts examine how personalized feeds amplify conflict, bury progress and leave citizens exhausted and polarized, reinforcing a distorted picture of society that feels broken and perpetually on edge.

                              Seeing Tina: The Tina Turner Musical on Easter Sunday at the beautiful, brand-new Tanger Center in Greensboro, NC was something of a religious experience for die-hard Tina Turner fans. It wasn’t so much that Ari Groover looked or sounded like The Queen of Rock and Roll. It was more that she …

                              Democrats’ populist bargain looks familiar to Republicans | David M. Drucker

                              “Oh no, not us — not ever.” For 10 years running, that’s been the Democratic response to any suggestion that grassroots liberals are like Republican voters and equally susceptible to supporting scandal-plagued populists like President Donald Trump.

                              I was seated onstage at Grand Valley State University’s commencement when Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak leaned into the microphone and reframed the entire conversation about artificial intelligence in six words.

                              Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Ressa delivered a powerful and eye-opening speech at Harvard, warning graduates about the growing influence of technology on society, democracy, and public discourse.

                              Letter: Raccuia got a raw deal from Bills owner Pegula

                              Letter: Raccuia got a raw deal from Bills owner Pegula

                              To say I was shocked was a really good understatement when I read that Ron Raccuia was “fired” (yes, fired without explanation) from the Buffalo Bills, and without any real public explanation as to why. Here’s a man who probably is solely responsible for not only bringing the new stadium to Orchard Park but keeping the Bills here for the next 30 years or so (with a shout-out to Gov. Kathy Hochul and Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz). So why did the Bills send him to the curb after this? I’m sure many other Bills fans want to know why. What am I missing here?

                              LETTER: Sheriff Andis’ statements reckless and irresponsible

                              At a Meet and Greet event hosted by the Washington County Democratic Committee in the Tyler Magisterial District on Sunday, May 1, Sheriff Blake Andis falsely asserted that three students had overdosed on gummies at Abingdon High School the previous week.

                              LETTER: Decisions on abortion need to be returned to women, not the states

                              Morgan Griffith wants Roe v. Wade overturned so that control over abortion can be returned to the “states and the people.”

                              LETTER: Passenger rail extension isn’t just about Bristol

                              I read with interest an article outlining the possible extension of Amtrak passenger rail service to Southwest Virginia.
