By far the best (non political) commentary on the catastrophic Los Angeles fires has been this one by @dateline_keith for @DatelineNBC
Keith Morrison is one of the last remaining pros in TV news…
Holy shit! Bruce Springsteen, with one of the most eloquent endorsements for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz you'll hear. The Boss also delivered one of the strongest repudiations of the loathsome piece of shit I've heard from anyone. Let's fucking go‼️🙌🌊🇺🇸
@brithume People are allowed to have a life. Quit playing school crossing guard with @lindayaX. She is fabulous, smart and kind. And let's not forget highly regarded by her peers. Life lessons you may need to learn. Linda, I'll take a second serving of fish please.🦈🇮🇹🎄
@lindayaX If you have time to post this, perhaps you also might find time to repair the mess that's been made of the @X ipad app. It has been a shambles for months. All efforts to get your team to fix it have failed. Thanks in advance.
A mother has written a touching note to the teenager who taught her daughter how to use her skateboard and it’s now gone viral:
"Dear teenage boy at the
skate park:
You’re probably about 15 years-old, so I don’t expect you to be very mature or for you to want a little girl on your skate ramp for that matter.
What you don’t know is that my daughter has been wanting to skateboard for months. I actually had to convince her that skateboarding wasn’t just for boys.
So when we walked up to the skate park and saw that it was full of teenaged boys who were smoking and swearing, she immediately wanted to turn around and go home.
I secretly wanted to go too because I didn’t want to have to put on my mom voice and exchange words with you.
I also didn’t want my daughter to feel like she had to be scared of anyone, or that she wasn’t entitled to that skate park just as much as you were.
So when she said, 'Mom it’s full of older boys,' I calmly said, 'So what, they don’t own the skate park.'
She proceeded to go down the ramp in spite of you and your friends flying past her and grinding rails beside her.
She only had two or three runs in before you approached her and said 'Hey, excuse me …'
I immediately prepared to deliver my 'She’s allowed to use this park just as much as you guys' speech when I heard you say, 'Your feet are wrong. Can I help you?'
You proceeded to spend almost an hour with my daughter showing her how to balance and steer, and she listened to you – a feat not attained by most adults.
You held her hand and helped her get up when she fell down and I even heard you tell her to stay away from the rails so that she wouldn’t get hurt.
I want you to know that I am proud that you are part of my community, and I want to thank you for being kind to my daughter, even though your friends made fun of you for it.
She left the skate park with a sense of pride and with the confidence that she can do anything, because of you."

"What works for men doesn't always work for women. Why do we continue to compare? We're a totally different market. Angel City came in and completely transformed the business of women's sports. It's been a game changer." @Ashlyn_Harris@GothamFC#EqualityLounge#CannesLions2023
In the first five months of 2023, Just Women’s Sports reached more people than in all of 2022.

@RichardLui This is spot on. Queenie, I took care of for 5+ years. With isolation and little support. It's daunting and yet, I💜 wouldn't change a thing. THERE MUST BE CHANGE! @alzassociation
Shine your💡 light on this needed Change.

White men can and often do fail upward. "A white male can direct a $200 million film, fail and get another one. That’s the problem. I get one at-bat, one chance, work twice as hard, twice as fast, twice as cheap.” @EvaLongoria
