On October 11, 1975, the first episode of “Saturday Night Live” was broadcast on NBC, and the opening credits featured a series of photos of Manhattan shot by model-turned-photographer (and my cousin) Edie Baskin. She was the show’s sole photographer for its first 25 years, and her now-iconic images of the cast and hosts, enhanced by hand-drawn color graphics, served as “bumpers,” shots between the commercials and the broadcast. Those photos of luminaries, including Steve Martin, Burt Reynolds, Carrie Fisher, The Rolling Stones, Lily Tomlin, and eventually “The Not Ready for Prime Time” players John Belushi, Gilda Radner, and Dan…

Central planners just can’t help themselves. They feel obligated to solve the world’s problems. Consider this year’s Orwellianly-named “Conference of the Parties” (COP-30), the thirtieth annual climate conference sponsored by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Thousands of government officials and members of international non-government organizations (which, of course, get millions of dollars from governments) have descended on Belem, Brazil for their annual COP-30 gathering. The past two gatherings, COP-29 in Azerbaijan and COP-28 in the United Arab Emirates, were rough to say the least.  They failed to get big commitments from wealthy countries, they didn’t win…

Travis Kelce has not ruled out playing for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2026 and says he will make his decision by early March. The 36-year-old tight end is in the final year of his contract and last week broke the franchise record for the number of touchdowns with 84. Kelce has spent the past 13 years with the Chiefs and made it clear he wants to give them adequate time to find a replacement if he does walk away – vowing to let them know before NFL free agency begins. “I want to give the Chiefs a good opportunity,…

The Anaheim Ducks are the toast of the town in the NHL. General Manager Pat Verbeek believed his team would be a playoff team this season. Lots of people rolled their eyes. It was hard enough to make a 21-point jump in the standings last year. To do it again, considering the competition in the Western Conference, the odds were stacked against Anaheim. However, Verbeek’s belief has carried over into the locker room, and the Anaheim Ducks have become one of the season’s surprise teams. New head coach Joel Quenneville has got this good mix of veterans and young players…

Cambridge City Council received 1,139 homelessness applications between April 2024 and March 2025, which was a 13% rise on the previous year. Josh said his focus was to get back into work after he completed…

The company’s hardware has long attracted scrutiny.  A 2017 Bitcoin Magazine report suggested…
