One off night doesn't change the fact that @JoeBiden is the most legislatively successful @POTUS in our lifetime. One off night also doesn't change the fact that the former guy is a convicted felon, serial liar & adjudicated rapist who is unfit for ANY office. Period.

When we frame jobs as passions or callings, it obscures the fact that jobs are, first and foremost, economic contracts.

At the @internetarchive a light flashes up on their servers everytime you use their collections. What a great way to visualise the impact of free access to knowledge. Do not take libraries, museums or archives for granted, we must defend them at all costs! https://t.co/FfmJlZbUts

@IAmAmnaNawaz Why was there no “Politics Monday” yesterday? Is it now an occasional feature unlike Shields and Capehart?

[G. Salim Mohammed @gsalim]

@girdley Many of the positives depend on good geography for the economy. The thing to think about is how climate change will affect its waterways.
