No, it’s not a coup. The attack on Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal began years ago, when three unlawfully appointed judges were sworn in under cover of darkness. Poland paid a heavy price. Now it’s time to restore the rule of law and let lawfully elected judges do their job.

Przywracanie rządów prawa jest naszym obowiązkiem. Po latach pisowskiego bezprawia to proces trudny, czasem bolesny i wymaga zdecydowanego działania. Innej drogi nie ma.

Bruce Friedman, who has notoriously challenged hundreds of books, has added Arthur’s Birthday by Marc Brown to his list of more than three thousand books he has decided children have no business reading. What's next? Let's not wait to find out. action.everylibrary.org/arth… #library #libraries #read #reading #book #books #librarianship #lit

NEW: Pope Leo XIV is set to become the first sitting pontiff in the Catholic Church’s two-thousand-year history to vote in a secular election. Leo requested an Illinois mail ballot on Oct. 3, and it was sent to his brother John’s home in New Lenox, Ill. John Prevost visited the pope at the Vatican on Wednesday and may now be carrying the ballot back to the Will County clerk by hand. thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope…

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of RSC Honorary Associate Artist, Sir Patrick Stewart; a colossus of both stage and screen and one of the finest classical Shakespearean actors of his generation.

They say you should never meet your heroes, but as one of millions who grew up admiring Patrick Stewart, it was a joy to get to know him and discover that his kindness and decency were just as great as his enormous, generational talent. There will not be another like him, and with the sad news of his passing, our thoughts are with his wife Sunny, his family, and his many friends. Our culture is so much richer because of Sir Patrick Stewart’s life and work.
