@AlecMacGillis Related trivia: said circle also creates the little-noted tiny slice of Delaware on the east bank of its eponymous river - thus creating the shortest land border (with NJ) between any two states.

The circumstances were different, but in a bygone era Memphians united behind a controversial but self-assured political boss and successfully opposed a National Guard deployment to their city.

@robenfarzad Ted Lasso spin-off jumping the shark? (Or maybe … catapulting the dolphin?)

@AlecMacGillis More surprising case in point: the 2020 Stanley Cup Finals (Dallas v Tampa Bay).

@CraryAP @AP Thanks David. A lovely tribute to a wonderful journalist, colleague, and person.

70 years ago this week, the Moton Student Strike changed history. To honor those who sacrificed and lost out on education, we must confront a new education civil rights challenge now upon us. Tag-teaming with @pattersoncd of @MotonMuseum in @PostOpinions https://t.co/Edkmw9LB7l

@AlecMacGillis A wonderful life, cut too short, and a wonderful legacy felt by so many, clear from this outpouring of tributes. May his memory be a blessing.

My colleague and great friend Cam Patterson with a powerful argument from our community's civil rights history about who pays the highest price when schools are closed.

Civil rights history tells us who loses when schools are closed, Cameron Patterson of the @MotonMuseum writes https://t.co/Ix8gpDRPZD

Proud to run with #LongwoodTogether today here on our beautiful campus.

@jselingo Agreed, and I appreciate the acknowledgment of complexity. Just encouraging influential voices like yours that will shape the debate to make sure there’s room for good faith and nuance. Thanks for listening.

@jselingo That the fate of institutions essential to democracy isn’t an important consideration for the country? That anyone making those arguments speaks could only be motivated by financial greed and shouldn’t be at the table?

[Justin Pope @Justin_Pope1]

@jselingo That the costs (including to health) of possibly hundreds of thousands of blue- and white-collar workers losing their jobs shouldn’t at least be considered?

A fun #fathersday2018 #highered read about a son and dad I’m proud to know well. https://t.co/CjTFmG7uDi

A father, a son, an extraordinary family. On a sentimental Father’s Day, the namesake presidents of William and Mary and Longwood reflect on their remarkable journey together. 💙 #FathersDay https://t.co/pmZJYd12td
