After more than two decades of building and leading this restaurant, I've decided to step away and allow our extraordinary leaders to now guide the restaurant into its next chapter. I have also resigned from the board of MAD, the nonprofit organization I founded in 2011.
I do a video a day when I'm on my dog walk in Lund, and I try to find different topics to talk about. My son pointed out to me a video from national broadcaster SVT about a guy named Shahdad who came here from Iran when he was 14.

We were in unfamiliar territory. That this wasn't Stancil's turf was clear. At one point, he took a left when he should've taken a right, and [The Verge's photographer] Jack had to tell him Cleveland Avenue was actually the other way.

Most Americans seen the Cinerama Dome. Since opening in 1963, the Hollywood movie theater hosted dazzling film premieres and black-tie galas, its striking geodesic shape expertly framing celebrities and red carpets. The theater - designed by Pierre Cabrol of Welton Becket's esteemed architectural firm - has also had cameos in legendary films, like Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
We've mistaken expression for impact, conflating social media dust-ups with actual power. We've neglected the unglamorous work that holds societies together: governing, problem-solving, and cooperating across differences. My research shows that real change happens not in viral TikToks but in drab meeting rooms - the phones-down, notebooks-out work of local governance. It's there that we make progress and bridge divides.
