Just a thank you to @dawnstaley @hoopdreams08 for never asking for anything in return.

And to @JaySpearman and @MLattimore for being there for us when it wasn’t cool.

Community matters, y’all…

Let me just say as a parent trying to explain "partition" in Ireland to my kids, #msmarvel did in roughly 90 minutes what I haven't been able to do in a decade. AND they did it with a more complicated part of the British Empire.

@JedBlackwell Draco married well.

[Brendan Buttimer @brenb67]

Sir, I know with whom you have shared a golf course. That's an indictment.

[Jed Blackwell @JedBlackwell]

During my tenure as a general reporter in Rutherford County, I walked away from a political dinner believing Mark Meadows to be the slimiest, most hucksterish, most self-serving politician I’d ever encountered.

Welp. Radar works.

@JedBlackwell @CNR_Sports I have a Hiawatha Berry story. Or Wycliffe Lovelace. You can understand my confusion.

@nikkiaredhead We had a name for Virginia in the bouncer business. It wasn't polite.

[Brendan Buttimer @brenb67]

I'm still around. Mind yourself.

@JedBlackwell @BSpringsJames <sigh> You have to ask?

[Brendan Buttimer @brenb67]

@BSpringsJames @JedBlackwell I see how it is. Nothing good happens when I visit Twitter.

One of the most important things an American President does is to explain to Americans and the world what to think about an urgent global crisis — and what to do about it.

[South Carolina Community Loan Fund @SCCLF]

"We were pleased to participate in the deal by providing additional allocation, and we always look forward to opportunities to partner with The Innovate Fund." @brenb67

Number of people in hospital falls below 500 for first time since October. Plan is working - 3rd doses, masks, test & isolate, physical distancing. Thank you for what you are doing. Please don’t lose heart. Let’s all have a safe Christmas #protectourprogress

[Financial Health Network @finhealthnet]

Big, positive move by @CapitalOne! Our research shows that overdraft fees are overwhelmingly assessed on those already struggling financially. Overall, $11.8B of the $12.4B in 2020 overdraft fees were on those Financially Vulnerable or Coping https://t.co/lQa7tti4lP
