Hi @Delta . Thank you for downgrading me because of a plane switch. I'm now boarding last and I need to fill out two forms. One to get a partial refund and one to file a formal complaint because there is "nothing you can do." Got it.

@KitchenAidUSA I have a side by side fridge that is about 4 years old and it freezes up every few months and it's driving us insane. I hate it. We've tried everything to fix it. I don't know what else to do but replace it with a different brand.

I can wrap my head around the what of this chart, I cannot wrap my head around why.

Republicans' confidence in “science” is nearly 30 points lower than in 1975. Democrats are more confident in “science” than in 1975

Extraordinary that we still have statues honoring the confederacy in the US.

But here’s one less: No more Robert E Lee in Charlottesville. Good riddance.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

Robert E. Lee chose to wage war against America & helped kill 600K soldiers for his twisted vision of advancing slavery of Black people.

Today—156 years after his surrender—his statue has been removed from the Charlottesville public square

Good riddance

Dance is a universal language. Similarly, when two different dances are blended, they become one in harmony. Ciara Fragomeno is a local Irish dancer. We combined Irish dance with Punjabi Bhangra dance to create universal harmony for peace & hope.

Sweeping generalizations about the need to work from an office all seem to come from people who are hyper-extroverts.

Reason #4: Belonging.

“It is clear that we are not destined to be alone,” @JonLevyTLB writes.

It’s hard to create a sense of belonging from a distance, but it’s even harder when employees have different home lives — or have never even met the rest of the team.

@JeffreyKleintop I have one of those guys still in the box!

Yesterday evening I received my Covid-19 vaccine. Then I went to a frozen lake to dance Bhangra on it for joy, hope and positivity, which I'm forwarding across Canada and beyond for everyone's health and wellbeing.

@KatyTurNBC @tonydokoupil How do you keep your counter tops so clean?

In the GME frenzy, there are lessons to be learned, but we all need investing anchors, and mine is the equity risk premium. ERP for S&P on 2/1/21 is 4.80%, reasonable enough, but the expected return of 5.91% is at low end of historic norms. (Error fixed!) https://t.co/wy8WGu8ona
