Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1940-07-01), “My Day”

#Pablum at today's work meeting:

Boss: John, how was you trip to #Hawaii?

John: It was great, hung out under palm trees, had a few Mai Tais, it was great.

Boss: Other John, how was your vacation?

John Ⅱ: #CostaRica was great, no Wifi, few hours in a boat to get to hotel. Saw wild monkeys!

Boss: Sven, you are signed up for a vacation soon, where are you going.

Me: #Edmonton!

Boss: Wrong direction.

If I'm living in Bojack Horseman's world, why am I not an actual anthro bear yet?

I would best describe this #NRA speech by @GovChrisSununu as pablum. A great example of meaningless throwaway pablum. Bromides. Nothing. Nothingness @nra #Indianapolis #ponderous #tedium #pablum
