I don't know, y'all, I would just never choose to play these fucking games with a guy who was so competent and squeaky clean and reasonable that the federal government paid many millions of dollars to train him specifically to go into space. Super bad idea to shamelessly slander astronauts.

Having spent my teens & 20’s with divorced parents, & having to have two whole meals on T-Giv & XMas, l have made sure my stepchildren know we’ll *never* be annoyed or upset if they’d rather be anywhere else on a holiday. We’ll simply love to see them any day, & any time of the year.

Again - it’s worth communicating locally to people who love their public universities (even if just for sports) the existential threat posed by republicans.

There’s nothing sadder to me on these treasure hunting trips than running into an incredible piece of print historyβ€”like this Intertype machine, that seemed pristine beneath its coat of dustβ€”that will probably end up scrapped because pretty much no one can house or maintain itβ€”we certainly can’t

Stevie Wonder releases β€œUptight (Everything’s Alright)” 60 yrs ago today.

At 15, the child star was in danger of being a has-been. His voice was changing. Motown execs β€œwould give assignments to the various producers,” said songwriter Sylvia Moy. β€œNo one wanted Stevie.”

The song saved his career.

I just want trans people the world over to be able to live in peace, and I don't think that should be an unreasonable ask or expectation.

A few weeks ago a very tired-looking lady behind us had 2 things of deli turkey, 1 can of chili, a pack of dinner rolls & 5 bottles of wine. I nodded at her as if to say, β€œSame, friend. Same.”

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :
