Nothing lasts — but that doesn't mean nothing is important — Richard Kyte

Nothing lasts — but that doesn't mean nothing is important — Richard Kyte

  • Richard Kyte Columnist

A shed deer antler becomes an unexpected prompt for reflection on mortality, reverence, and the ethical obligations we owe one another while we're here.

News flash: Bernie Sanders is not a New Yorker | Froma Harrop

News flash: Bernie Sanders is not a New Yorker | Froma Harrop

    Yes, he talks like a Brooklyn tough guy, but U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders is a resident of Vermont, America's most rural and most white state. That he fled New York City nearly 60 years ago seems lost on current Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his fellow socialists. Then again, Mamdani hasn't been arou…

    Court rulings against Trump prove our democracy still works | Boston Herald

      It must have been a confounding day for No Kings protesters. Their placards at rallies held around the country decry President Donald Trump’s “authoritarian regime” and the “fascism” under which Americans now live. They’ve blasted the ballroom Trump was building adjacent to the White House.

        Halt the surge in AI data centers with national moratorium | Mitch Jones

          Gasoline prices have increased more than $1 a gallon during the last month, as President Donald Trump’s war with Iran continues. As a result, many consumer staples that rely on diesel-fueled trucks to reach store shelves are more costly. Food prices are climbing, in part due to a logjam of g…

            Pausing data centers in US would be gift to China | Donald Kimball

              As the use of artificial intelligence accelerates, several state legislatures and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders are calling for a pause on the development of AI data centers. They worry about lost jobs for working people and the potential dangers of superintelligence.

              How the White House can cut prices at the pump — and elsewhere | E.J. Antoni

                Gas and diesel prices have soared since the start of the Iran war. But the situation could get worse later this year because of ethanol requirements and problems with fertilizer supply chains.

                    Have we forgotten how to live with reverence? | The Ethical Life podcast

                      Episode 240: In a fast-moving world filled with distractions, it can be easy to lose sight of what truly matters. In this episode, hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada explore the idea of reverence — a quality that once shaped how people understood life, but now often feels distant or overlooked.

                      How to jump-start your public records requests in Wisconsin | Christa Westerberg

                        Wisconsin’s open records law gives requesters the right to request records from their government. After all, as the law states, “a representative government is dependent upon an informed electorate.”

                          As a high-achieving college kid, Alex Vallejo wasn’t surprised by the kind of young people he met at the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers’ national conference in Salt Lake City three years ago.

                          $100,000 in Social Security benefits is too much | Allison Schrager

                            When someone says a retiree is “living off Social Security,” it’s not usually $100,000 a year. But some U.S. retired couples will be receiving that much in a few years — and a proposal to cap their benefit at that amount has started a painful and much-needed conversation about who should get…

                            The official start of tailgate season is Saturday, and it has nothing to do with sports. It’s the brat bash outside the Badger State Spelling Bee in Madison.

                            Our rights, freedoms and democracy need protection. Our country is maliciously under attack by a power-hungry president and a majority party that bows to his every demand. Behind the scenes is Project 2025, an authoritarian blueprint formulated by wealthy conservatives to dismantle our democratic system.
