An honor today to hear from @GovCox, @mckaycoppins, @miramurati, @andersen, @HillaryClinton and @JeffreyGoldberg at the second and final day of #TAF23. Great conversations and plenty of ideas for #CHQ2024!

[Jordan Steves @jdsteves]

Thoughtful conversation on the future of American conservatism with @beccarosen, @helenlewis and @davidfrum: what remains of the Trump era, what conservatism might look like after, and how much it depends on when that transition happens and why. #TAF23

[Jordan Steves @jdsteves]

What a morning with @chq friend @nxthompson and his amazing #TAF23 lineup, including @JeffreyGoldberg, @SecBlinken, @SpeakerPelosi, @ClintSmithIII and @kerrywashington!

[Jordan Steves @jdsteves]

Biggest laugh of the morning from Pelosi, who shared her "why" in politics: Everything she does is "for the children."

And when you're in the arena, you need to be ready to take a punch, and to throw a punch, she said, adding a punch line: "For the children."

Grateful to @brianstelter and longtime friends of @chq @Deggans and @Sulliview for the up-to-the-minute download on what's up at Fox after Rupert's departure. #TribFest23

[Scott Simon @nprscottsimon]

Had a wonderful time meeting people and speaking at @chq this 4th. Had hoped to post a link, but can't find one; will post when I do (on the other hand--do you really need to hear more of me? But you'll like the Q's of the Q and A's. Or is that Q and @Athletics?)

[Jordan Steves @jdsteves]

@nprscottsimon @chq @Athletics Thank you for a lovely visit and wonderful lecture, Scott. Here's that link! https://t.co/ykp0JMcHtU

(We can make the lecture available in front of the paywall if you'd like!)

The culmination of a 2,000-plus-person game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, as Dan and Kathleen come onstage to face off with @colleenmacklin as referee. a ridiculously fun war to start our week celebrating games! #CHQ2023

Good evening, Ms. Ross #CHQ2023

Not going to say I willed this into being, but I *have* been joking with my mom for more than a decade about her beloved Christmas Tree Shops, “Oh, I heard that place is going out of business …” https://t.co/m4RxEjr8gJ

[Jordan Steves @jdsteves]

Merregnon. Very, very cool. Well done, @laura_savia, @rossenmilanov and CSO! #CHQ2023

[Jordan Steves @jdsteves]

An incredible team scramble lands Sony Ton-Aime, director of @CHQLiteraryArts, in conversation with @SeanAstin a little earlier than planned, to allow Sean space today to negotiate on behalf of actors and directors ahead of tonight's contract expiration. #CHQ2023

[Michael Hill, Ed.D. @MichaelHillRMC]

Love what this photo says about teamwork and the embarrassment of riches we have @chq. Thanks @jdsteves … grateful for you

[Jordan Steves @jdsteves]

Day 1, full of challenges but also reminders of the perks of the job. Here's @CornelWest and @McCormickProf with LaTrelle Easterling and Chautauqua's own @BpEugeneSutton, captured by @MichaelHillCHQ backstage after an immensely satisfying opening Amp lecture of #CHQ2023.

[Jordan Steves @jdsteves]

It's the Good Journey, but it's still A Journey.

Hope these students all made it and

[Dan Barry @DanBarryNYT]

Buses transporting @StBonaventure students from Olean/Allegany to the NIT in Manhattan today have broken down, caught on fire, been pulled over by the police.
No worries: a typical commute.
Go Bona’s!

[Jordan Steves @jdsteves]

Well this should be good

“George Carlin’s American Dream” is a new two-part documentary from Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio debuting this spring that chronicles the life and work of the legendary counterculture comedian. https://t.co/lf1FYPGFhf

This is really, really lovely. One of the things I miss most about having a dog is how they become an extension and enhancement of your own senses at the other end of the leash. Home or traveling, walking the dog is the best way to get to know a place. https://t.co/Nvys0bjIn2

A new fun game I've discovered is rewatching "Frasier" and guessing the actor voicing the radio caller before checking IMDb
