Mr Spock 🖖I will continue to hold doors open for people even if they don’t thank me. I will continue to stand in line patiently at the supermarket when the store refuses to pay for more staff and thank the cashier. I will still smile at a stranger even if they think I’m weird. Because everyday we do not know what people are going through. Maybe they are in a terrible relationship and are being treated cruelly.

Taylor Lorenz“Do not listen to powers that be who pretend that getting infected w/ COVID multiple times is now no big deal. They’re asking you to lower your guard for a nasty virus that can invade the brain, disregulate the immune system and damage the vascular system” https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2022/12/21/Ten-Downplayed-COVID-Facts/
Charlotte ClymerAny pundit who is criticizing Pres. Zelenskyy's attire is failing to read the room, but moreover, they're just completely missing the point.
A country and its leader under immediate and existential threats have no time for suits and neckties.
He has no visible rank or medals or nametapes or epaulets or brass buttons or starched creases. He's wearing what women and men who are fighting on the frontlines in Ukraine are wearing.
He's wearing the urgency of the moment.
That's the point.
Steven BeschlossFor the record, releasing Trump’s tax returns in 2016 might have saved our democracy six years of pain and trouble. Every presidential nominee should be required by law to make their returns public.
I have a thick skin. I’m not unaccustomed to attacks. And I surely don’t mind reasonable people raising opposing views. But the bird app has been swamped with MAGA Republicans determined to drive away progressives with false narratives and ad hominem attack. A dispiriting display of the human condition and a waste of time. Alas.
