If you enjoy a smart and well written #autobiography, @Trevornoah's "Born a Crime" is the #heartwarming, #funny ascent of a talented youth who charts his own path navigating very tough circumstances. https://t.co/xvjp1Bslyc. Thank you @jonstewart !

Check out “Standing Up” on Netflix - it is as if #Balzac wrote about #comedy, #family love and pressure, #friendship, 21st century challenges, the #creativeprocess, #selfsabotage, #authenticity, #generosity, #immigrant experience, #charismatic beings rolling with the punches

Very well said https://t.co/SQVgfwuhxh

Why do so many Russian-speakers support Putin and this war? Still. Even in Ukraine (though their number is declining). And in other former satellites, or even Canada and the US. Why? How? WHY?

It’s not just the Kremlin propaganda. Let me tell you a deeply personal story. 1/n

Dit is die speech, een paar uur voor het begin van de oorlog opgenomen, hier met Engelse ondertiteling. Kijken. Deze gaat de geschiedenisboeken in.

@PIH We all lost Dr. Paul Farmer, the epitome of #asymmetric #consequential #lasting #goodness. His life and deeds were a gift to humanity. The Book #mountainsbeyondmaountains describes how he went about building and establishing his brand of brilliant human kindness.

#insight: In finance, a #SharpeRatio Return/Risk helps rank investments. In politics, dividing (Value and Service improvement delivered by an elected politician) by (the Power and resources s/he is given). helps us decide whether s/he is worth our vote. @tedcruz flunks this test

Before you rely on #polls remember this: people who refuse to answer polls, vote too. #insight : this introduces a systematic bias in polling https://t.co/3BPQ6rgYpG

The military relies on #OODAloop ( Observation Orientation Decision Action) in warfare. Democratic society should apply it for promoting and discarding leaders, and #Publicpolicy. @mtosterholm's #prescient March 2017 is key to serious COVID19 OODA. https://t.co/8udligINFd

Anyone who truly loves their mother, their wife, sister or daughter, would feel deep sorrow for the passing of #JusticeGinsburg. The movie “on the basis of sex” helps explain her immense impact and true genius on equality under the law.

#LongHaulers : very useful to highlight what happens to younger people, around 44 yrs old, primarily women, who display all sorts of intense, life altering #COVID19symptoms for several months. We must appreciate there are lots of #unknownUnknowns about this pandemic

[Ed Yong is not here @edyong209]

A few COVID-19 long-haulers told me they too disbelieved folks with ME/CFS and similar illnesses until they experienced something similar firsthand—and now deeply regret their previous skepticism. (Some folks w/ ME/CFS have said the same.) 1/

@BillGates on today’s @FareedZakaria gps is a must see compass to recalibrate one’s understading of where we are now on Covid and the #mistakes committed. For example : Any test that takes more than 3days for results is a complete waste of taxpayers’ $$$, the infection window

13 years ago, I emailed Dr. Fauci out of the blue to ask if I might interview him for my undergrad thesis. He invited me to his office, where he answered all my questions. When I sent him the thesis, HE READ THE WHOLE THING (see his overly effusive review below). Who does that?!
