This is truly excellent. I tune in every week & was also surprised to hear that @JonHaidt & I got a shout out. Fareed bringing the common sense & hard medicine universities need.

This man was a teacher for 40 years.

In 1974, Dale Irby, a gym teacher in Dallas, realized he had worn the same outfit as the previous year on Picture Day, and decided to simply go with it, after Cathy – his wife – dared him to.

So here you got 40 years with the same outfit until Dale's eventual retirement in 2013.

@skaushik100 @RealSeattleNice @ericacbarnett Thank goodness for Ann Davison and a re-focus on the victims of criminal activity / general social order. I'm fine with jail/prison for those who continuously terrorize businesses and neighborhoods.

Coop, Supplies, Bedding, Feed, Time spent cleaning, etc adds to over $100/mo easy. Average 2-3 eggs a day during laying season and that comes to ~$16/dozen. https://t.co/92KwCb3Cwr

Wouldn’t it be great for America if a block of Republicans and Democrats work together to pick a Speaker to run a coalition-style government? A coalition allows the House to create policy from the middle out rather than the extremes in.

80-90's retro art and culture, soaked in nostalgia and longing, is popping up everywhere.

In 1994 Vaclav Havel gave a speech that sheds light on why this is happening, and what people are aching for. He said:

This, by @NellieBowles is marvelous. It's wonderfully written, haunting, and sad. It's about a city that has deeply harmed itself and many of its citizens, often with the best of intentions (and sometimes not). If you read one thing today, read this: https://t.co/AKV89X9kge
