The military admits responsibility for the crash, yet wants to keep flying dangerously - The Senate has just passed a bill to require the military to turn transponders on, but it won't go to the House until next next year. In the meantime, there was a near mid-air collision between an Air...

King Charles announces his cancer treatments have been effective and will be scaled back. Wonderful! I love hearing good cancer news.

Sparkly! I love to see those unexpected jewels brought out - keep them coming.

"It's truly about where we thought we were at in our lives, our ability to show up as athletes and people; that's what inspired our return." Who do the Shibs think is their audience for this nonsense? It says nothing and will satisfy nobody. Why not just say something like we realized how much...

I think the USFS has to stick to the procedure it announced going into the season. It would be unfair to the skaters and damaging to the organization to change the rules in the middle of the game. If the men stay so closely bunched, it'll be whoever gets on the podium at Nationals anyway.

Perhaps all the videos will help investigators figure out what happened, but how awful for the families. It's going to be almost impossible for them to avoid seeing images of the crash.

I think it was done now because of all the new and sordid revelations (with probably more to come). The media and public were not going to let go of Andrew emailing Epstein that he's eager to "play some more soon" or Fergie calling him a dear supreme friend. Charles had to act now or Andrew was...

Prince no more - His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew. Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal...

Ordered or paid off - Andrew would never give up anything just because it is the right thing to do.

I haven't listened to Susan Stamberg in years but I can hear her voice still. She was responsible for a lot of 'sit in the car in the driveway to hear the end of the story' moments.

It would be bad because it would blur the line between private business and state business and that invites if not actual corruption and conflict of interest, than definitely the appearance of it. If the Sussexes ask a corporation to work with them when they're out, is the company going to feel...

The problem wasn't living part time in the U.S. (though the logistics of that would have been very messy), the issue was using that time to pursue commercial ventures.

Fergie and Andrew sure know how to make every bad situation worse. It's remarkable that Beatrice and Eugenie are both so level-headed (or discreet).

Nice! That pull through maneuver is fun.

Oh dear, that is seriously not her color. About the renters - apparently they were moved to "equal or better" cottages nearby. Moving is a bother regardless, but it sounds like it worked out well for them.
