Remembering the inimitable, invaluable Dr. Sid Wolfe, who has died at age 86. Founder of the Health Research Group, Sid was fierce in his consumer advocacy across the gamut of health, medicine, drug regulation. Few have had such large and long-running impact on patients' behalf.

@TomGoldmanNPR I'll miss you in my ears, Tom. How will I ever know anything about sports (since I'm not very good at sports speak)? You made it so clear and engaging.
Best wishes in your post-NPR whatever. I recommend it!

[Tom Goldman @tgoldman222]

Before I go, and rip the “NPR” from my handle - a THANK YOU. To all of you, who’ve said such nice things and who, it seems, appreciated sports on our network. For that, I appreciate YOU. All the best.

Incredible edition of #NewsHour tonight -- esp #NickShifrin from Ukraine & #DavisBrooks on the Big Picture of the war's implix. But every segment was moving & thought-provoking.

@MHarrisPerry @WNYC @TheTakeaway Very very sorry to hear. Always incisive & timely, tackling subjects I don’t hear elsewhere. Good radio!

@NPRinskeep My all-time favorite: “All is not yet lost.”

@ElBeardsley Thanx, Eleanor. So much to think about.

@Yamiche Pathetic! “Remember me? Your former president?”

[Richard Knox @DickKnox]

No matter what happens in this #impeachment process, #JamieRaskin is a hero. He's magnificent, and his words will live on.

Think on this from Michelle Goldberg today https://t.co/syCGVyJXAF, from a former FBI official re: blocked investigation of shooting of 23 WalMart customers: “There’s...reluctance among agents to bring forth an investigation that targets what the president perceives as his base.”

Soooo happy to hear #EricLander will be Biden's chief science adviser...and with Cabinet rank!

[Richard Knox @DickKnox]

Killing the @BigLie, discrediting the Big Liar: I highly recommend Andrew Higgins' trenchant analysis https://t.co/udLS8POCUV about the history & malignant effectiveness of the Big Lie. Let's hope we don't keep repeating it. The coming days/weeks/months will tell.

Congrats to @TwitterSafety for your gutsy decision to permanently suspend the acct of @realDonaldTrump. As a journo I am foresquare behind the #FirstAmendment. But his exploitation of @Twitter is precisely the definition of crying fire in a crowded theater, or much worse.

[Richard Knox @DickKnox]

OK @Twitter, you think @realDonaldTrump should continue to use your platform to incite his followers? #Twitter is unquestionably his main megaphone. Now is the time. (If not now...?)

[Richard Knox @DickKnox]

#The1A In addition to talking about holding Trump accountable, shouldn't there be action vs @RudyGiuliani for his incendiary remarks at yesterday's #EllipseRally? Lawyers aren't suppose to #incite violence, right?

[Richard Knox @DickKnox]

Hey, this is #epiphany. Let's hope America on this day of @insurrection and culmination is having an epiphany. It has that kind of resonance.

A rare chase where the article is even funnier than the headline

[Richard Knox @DickKnox]

@DoualyX Thanx for that glimpse of your great-aunt, Douala; she had great presence as well as important words. Also thanx for the link to your radio piece, which I had missed. Since we worked together (briefly) I have wondered about your family background. Very best wishes.

Normally there would be a #ChristmasEve #LessonsAndCarolsService at the picture-perfect Wonalancet Union Chapel in Tamworth, NH. And normally every pew would be filled. This year this creative video takes its place. https://t.co/CO4yIXUtEV If you feel the need, enjoy!
