From Seizing a Roman Bronze

 

Creating an Artistic Buzz

 

Transforming the Same

Old Funny Business

 

While Trying to Save

Singer and Heartthrob

From a Poison Pill,

 

Haunted by Their Chaotic Past

 

Still Trying to Grow Up,

Charged With Taking Money,

Charcuterie and Cocktails

From the Deep

Times 1/27/25

 

In a Transformation 

From 

 

A Hitchhiker 

Into a Superhero  

 

a Surfing Star is Extradited 

in a Sextortion Case 

 

Amid An Endless Summer 

 

And is Fatally Shot by 

Sheriff’s Deputy 

During Traffic Stop

 

Sending People Fleeing 

Paradise 

 

In Carts and on Foot 

 

Making the Long Trek Home

Learning From 

 

Great Fires of the Past  

 

Upending Fragile Truces 

 

As Bombs, Snakes and 

Hungry Cows Carried a Cross 

Around the World 

 

Devolving, Hilariously

 

Keeping an Eye on 

Life's Ingredients 

Lurking Inside 

A Fire Ravaged Manuscript 

 

That Unlocks Forgotten 

DNA Evidence  

And Steps Into the Spotlight 

 

Where Paranormal Skiing 

Is a Way of Life 

Times 1/22/25

 

A Practice 

of Loopholes 

 

That Long Went Unnoticed 

In a Pay-to-Play Law 

 

That Has Not Lived Up to Its Promise 

 

Over Who Should 

Foot the Bill For Bringing 

Anne Frank’s Secret Annex

 

to The World 

 

Brings An Online Drug Kingpin

Onto the Stage 

 

Casting Doubt 

 

And Files Defamation Suit 

Against A Nobel Laureate 

 

Who Mines Their 

Country’s Nightmares 

 

With a Sense of the Wild West 

That Fashion Designers 

 

Watch Again and Again

Times 1/9/25

 

After an Ancient 

Kiss and Dance,

 

In a 12th-Century 

Palazzo, 

 

Where the Walls Have Secrets 

And a Place 

To Defy Gravity 

 

With Monuments to a Brutal Regime  

 

An Art-World Mom 

Considers the Ways 

Trends Trickle Down 

 

Reshaping 

the Souls of Children  

 

While Capturing Pluto 

 

And Wants 

The Supreme Court 

To Give Her a Dignified Ritual 

 

Before the Disorder 

That Was Years in the Making 

And Became a Winning 

 

Rallying Cry 

 

Joining Us to Hear 

 

About the Loopholes of 

Covering the News 

 

Which Feel Like a Drug Trip 

 

But Is Actually a Mental 

Health Disaster

Times 12/25/24

 

Lagging Behind 

Your Concerning 

Mutations 

And  

Household Hacks

 

From the Depths 

of Winter 

 

Wall Street Is 

Minting Video Surveillance of  

Twin Brothers 

 

Accused of 

Sexual Assault 

Marked 

 

By a Radish-Carving 

Contest That 

Drew Thousands 

 

In a Vivid Thread of 

Memories of Trauma and Grief

 

But Lets You Visit France 

for an Afternoon 

 

Visualizing a Tangle of History 

Of Using Easy Money 

 

And Weighing-In 

On Over a Century of 

Human Detritus
