His summation? Jeeze. Has anyone read Learned Optimism, Martin Seligman's book that predicts odds of winning anything with such a negative, hater mentality? Read it. He's toast. #EatHisLunch

Read how Trump squandered one opportunity after another to stop, slow, or mitigate the spread of the coronavirus while there was still time. "With impunity, Trump lied. With impunity, the virus spread." https://t.co/Kv3v38uZKG

Dismantling the structures that contribute to #EducationalDisparities is not impossible--but it requires commitment from the top. @MercyCollege president Tim Hall tells how. "Opinion: Where does #SystemicRacism live on college campuses?" https://t.co/5z61BTBtLm via @lohud

I love Social Qs. Sensible and humane, the column helps me understand and navigate issues that everyone talks about but few really understand. #DefundThePolice

[Philip Galanes @SocialQPhilip]

My neighbors want to "defund the police." So, who's going to defend them? https://t.co/7okylzBsUq

Did you know that the #BLMprotest has NOT resulted in a spike of Covid cases? But among the "right-to-unmask" contingent, only trouble and disease ensue #NoMaskNoService

[Philip Galanes @SocialQPhilip]

I've been trying to articulate my thoughts about marketing messages related to the pandemic. "Don't pontificate about hand washing" is as far as I got. Michael Katz nails the whole concept. What To Say Now - https://t.co/5hKqAJhHC0 via @michaeljkatz

Do you apologize too much? Is it really such a bad thing? Listen to my guest spot on BYU Radio's The Lisa Show, talking about the habit of over-apologizing and what you can do about it. https://t.co/tJOOEBWlOv #apology #peopleskills

@amyjccuddy Hi, I'm trying to join but not seeing any activity. I'll keep looking. Where's the video?

Fun fact about #TarrytownNY, my neighbor to the south. Regional folklore traces the name of Tarry Town to farm women lamenting the propensity of their husbands to linger about the village tavern on market days. Thanks to #NYSSLHA for this tidbit. #ObscureHistory
