The world's first trombone rhythm game is instantly a GOTY contender. And no, I'm not kidding. Turn up the volume and hear Beethoven like you've never heard it before. trib.al/pFwvN8z

Josef Pieper’s claim that leisure safeguards human dignity has practical implications. Among other things, it lets us say “you are more than your productivity,” which lets us tell a 5th grader “it is good that you exist” – at St Louis, MO

So, the church on Martha's Vineyard is taking in the Venezuelans fleeing communism that Florida sent up there. The mayor is on CNN crowing about it. Real own goal by FL making *Massachusetts liberals* look more Christian and sympathetic to victims of communism than a red state.

They didn't "stop talking about it." They did something about it - the international community passed the Montreal Protocol in 1987, phasing out chlorofluorocarbons and halons, saving the ozone layer. It may be the greatest example of truly international cooperation in history.
Remember when they spent years telling us to panic over the hole in the ozone layer and then suddenly just stopped talking about it and nobody ever mentioned the ozone layer again?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
24 nations signed the Montreal Protocol limiting the use of CFCs in 1987. Scientists estimate that if the Montreal Protocol had never been implemented, the hole would have grown by 40 percent by 2013. Instead, the hole is expected to completely heal by 2050.
