My sister-in-law's dog, Molly, died recently. She was a sweet, graying Portuguese water dog, one of the gentlest pups I've ever met. She displayed a propensity for stealing food off the counter, refused to walk in heat, rain or cold and had an unhealthy obsession with eating dirt, but ...
I just shared a tweet with a friend. “Does it make any sense to tether oneself to a commodity (gas) that fluctuates wildly in price, has a declining supply, and if we burn what we have, will destroy our climate?” What will it take for adults to make the switch to clean-running electric vehicles? My friends bought their EVs years ago and love that they can just plug them in at home. They report little to no maintenance, a ride so quiet they can listen to their favorite music and still easily carry on a conversation with friends, and they only stop at gas stations if they need a candy ...
As a Black American who is old enough to remember the last days of legal Jim Crow racial segregation, I pay special attention whenever I hear signs that in many American minds the Civil War never really ended. So does President Trump. That may help to explain why he took the extraordinary ...
In all likelihood, Superiorland is in for a another dose or two of winter weather before spring arrives. That said, the warmer temperatures and clearer skies in recent days probably will bring out the spring fever in some people.

So, common sense suggests people should use caution on Great Lakes and other waterways because of unstable ice. Although ice might look sturdy, people are at risk of falling ...
If you haven’t done it already, time to put down the phone when getting behind the wheel — law enforcement will be watching. With a rise in the use of handheld devices by drivers on Michigan roadways and in support of National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, police agencies throughout the state are teaming up with the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning for a high-visibility enforcement effort in April, according to a news release. A recent observational study from Michigan State University found mobile device use by drivers increased from 5.2% in 2024 to 5.7% in 2025. ...
According to The Guardian, some military commanders are trying to convince their soldiers that the war in Iran is ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and ‘President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.’ According to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, we should all be praying to his god for our soldiers, who he and President Trump have forced to fight in an elective war that never should have been started. Now, while in front of the video cameras, Hegseth is openly praying for his god to guide U.S. military ...
