I’ve known @TomDangora and @AnastasiaSomoza for years & they bring compassion & creativity to everything they do. They have created the first family musical about disability & need help fundraising. Check out @AddyandUno below & support them with me.

Literally every news outlet right now:
OMG HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS TOTALLY NEW MOVEMENT OF MEN WHO HATE WOMEN CALLED INCELS THAT WE HAVE JUST UNCOVERED??

All women in games ever:

Compassion reduces our fear, boosts our confidence, and opens us to inner strength. By reducing distrust, it opens us to others and brings us a sense of connections with them and a sense of purpose and meaning in life.

Thinking about Barbara Bush’s legacy of service to our country and the extraordinary family she raised. Thanking her for her many kindnesses to me and my family. Wishing her the comfort she deserves surrounded by her loved ones.

It's also not particularly honorable, if you have information that you believe is of immediate and vital national importance, to wait to 11 months to release it until you can have a giant book launch and publicity tour around it. #Comey

Female financial advisers make 41% less than men with the same title — that’s pay inequality.

But only 33% of all financial advisers are women to begin with, and that’s sex segregation.

Users don't hate change.

• Users hate when you take control from them.
• Users hate when your change shows no value for them.
• Users hate when they’ve invested in learning your design, only for you to disregard that investment.

Users don’t hate change.

It’s you, not them.

We've probably reached the point where a Democrat could win in Texas under the right circumstances (e.g. in a blue year against a weak opponent). But Ted Cruz's approval ratings are all over the place from poll to poll, which makes it hard to say how viable the Beto thing is.

Everybody always writes columns about why Democrats or Republicans should pay more attention to issue X. It would be actually way more useful if people wrote columns about what they should pay *less* attention to.

The thing about the Parkland students isn't that they're always spot-on—they've had better and worse moments as communicators. But they're at least as effective at politics as most professional pundits who have done it for years. Naturally, that's very threatening to the pundits.

No matter how many times life has let you down, there's still one thing you can count on...

Your fingers.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

This is a dumb take. Because of how voters are distributed between districts, Democrats could beat Republicans by a near-landslide popular vote margin--as much as Obama beat McCain by in 2008--and still only be about even-money to win the House. That's a huge deal. https://t.co/II8eL3HrMn

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

I've read a bit of conservative commentary that Parkland activists should be more careful and measured because they may be inflaming the culture war.

Here's my hot take: Fuck you. Inflaming the culture war is the NRA's entire platform and it has been for years.
