“Hold the tape” indeed...

[Kurt Andersen @KBAndersen]

Two years ago, @LindseyGrahamSC, the current chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said this about filling a SCOTUS seat in 2020: “If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump's term, and the primary process has started, we'll wait to the next election.”

@NailaJeanMeyers @bethanyhardy proposed this kind of “book club” many years ago! I think we even had some articles and met once or twice...

[Joshua Kobrin @Joshua_A_Kobrin]

@NailaJeanMeyers great theme party or greatest theme party?

[Naila-Jean Meyers🇵🇭 @NailaJeanMeyers]

It's called "Megashark vs. Giant Octopus." And I have seen it. Pretty sure I went to a party to watch it. @MariWebel @Joshua_A_Kobrin https://t.co/KNXsTUHX9e

Where’s the pandemic version of the Daisy ad? That’s what I want.

@EPierceTidwellI @Eric55581746 @joshgerstein I don’t think that’s the exact opposite conclusion. It might be a distinction without a difference, but I would describe that as another branch of the decision tree...

@bachyns @ABatemanHouse I’m a frequent cyclist and I’m bothered when I see someone riding without a helmet. But I have trouble with people who clearly don’t like cyclists complaining about helmet use. I can almost hear them saying “if I hit him, it’s his fault he got hurt...”

[Joshua Kobrin @Joshua_A_Kobrin]

@bachyns @ABatemanHouse I look forward to reading this. I agree we should encourage helmets AND infrastructure. But there’s a lot to be said about context with these arguments.

I find this more and more watching any show, movie, media, etc. from my childhood.

Have started the original Star Trek with my daughter and I have to say, on first systematic viewing in years, Starfleet Command needed a functional HR director and a sexual harassment policy and lawyers. Yoeman Rand alone had a half dozen actionable cases. #MeTooInSpace

A short and informative update from @MariWebel on what #history can—and cannot—teach us about #COVID19 (this time in partnership with virologist @mcfreeID, with an assist from @pickettjessica): https://t.co/9WqfUJWOFq

[Joshua Kobrin @Joshua_A_Kobrin]

@BryanAGarner I hear your point. It’s a good one. But in order to do more good than harm, it requires skipping a little more than @seanhannity at @FoxNews. I’d advised staying away from any of their opinion programming.

@zmiabtc @gregoryrcox I believe I did photo for that show. Somewhere there’s a contact sheet with pics of a rock band followed by pics of Jack Kemp gesticulating wildly.

[Samantha Power @SamanthaJPower]

This is spite masquerading as US policy. ⁦We all know @realDonaldTrump⁩ will do anything to divert from the his own disastrous response to #COVID19, but cutting ⁦@WHO⁩ funding during the worst pandemic in a century would be sheer lunacy. https://t.co/WrLwGu29VO

Nice.
Also, the first time I’ve seen my office in a few weeks...

Hearts are spreading in @DowntownPitt. Tonight, #Pittsburgh’s iconic Grant Building not only spells out our name from its tower in Morse code, it’s added a third heart to our skyline.

Just heard that John Bolton is kicking off the #PittsburghSpeakersSeries. Are the speakers conpensated? I’m fine with Bolton voicing his opinions, but I don’t think we should be paying him for testimony he refused to provide to the House of Representatives. @RMU @UPMC
