Olivia Rodrigo and Olivia Dean are the leading contenders for Album of the Year at the Grammys. Both of their projects have broad cross-generational appeal, although Dean’s timeless grooves might be more squarely in the pocket for older voters, whereas Rodrigo has a dad-rock factor going for her. Both projects, however, are excellent to the point of general undeniability, writes Variety’s Chris Willman.

Most travel videos tell you where to go. I’m more interested in why a place is worth knowing in the first place. That’s what I’ve been trying to do with The Timeless Traveler, and now I’m bringing it to YouTube. The newsletter has given me a place to write about cities, small towns, old hotels, strange traditions, historic buildings and places that get a lot more interesting once you know what happened there. Writing about those places is one thing. Being able to actually show them is another. I’m not interested in making another channel full of generic “10 places you need to visit” videos. I want to take somewhere you may know almost nothing about and, ten minutes later, have you looking it up on a map. Why was this town built here? What happened on this street? Why are people still making something the same way they did 300 years ago? What should you actually pay attention to if you ever go? Maybe it’s a library in Portugal where bats have helped protect the books for generations. Or a tiny town on the Northern California coast where Yurok history, a working fishing harbor and the redwoods all sit within a few miles of each other. Those are the stories I want to tell. The old building everyone walks past. The food people have been making for generations. The strange local tradition that makes no sense until somebody explains where it came from. The first videos on YouTube are coming tomorrow. If you’re already following me here or subscribed to the Timeless Traveler newsletter, you’ll recognize what I’m trying to do. If not, this is a good place to start. I want you to come away knowing a little more about somewhere you might actually want to see. Subscribe if that sounds like your kind of travel.

“Republic. I like the sound of the word…Some words can give you a feeling that makes your heart warm. Republic is one of those words.” John Wayne as Colonel Davy Crockett in The Alamo (1960) John Wayne didn’t just deliver a line he reminded generations what America was meant to be. A Republic founded on freedom, sustained by courage, and entrusted to every generation to protect. Some words echo through history because they speak to something timeless.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

VIDEO | Haridwar: During a press conference, Yog Guru Ramdev says, “It has been unfortunate for this country that whatever was written in Sanskrit was accepted as scripture. The principles of Sanatan Dharma are universal, scientific, beneficial to all, and timeless. They are free from all forms of discrimination…We have never discriminated on the basis of nations either. Even the formation of nations involves political boundaries, but we have always upheld the principle of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (The world is one family) and the belief that the Earth is our mother…Verses and episodes have been inserted into even the Valmiki Ramayana, portraying Lord Ram as someone who consumed meat and Mata Sita as someone who consumed meat and alcohol. Other verses have been inserted that portray Lord Ram as disrespecting Shudras and women. This was a grave religious, spiritual, and cultural sin committed in this country, and political figures provided protection to those responsible for it.” (Full video available on PTI Videos -
