I couldn't figure out where the comma(s) in "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" should go, so I hit myself in the face.

@cameronmoll Was just reflecting on leadership this morning and thinking about how it all boils down to consistent communication. Communicating that I trust them, communicating what's expected of them, and communicating on their behalf.

me: there’s only 3 things on our todo list, maybe we could get them all done today?

brain: get them all done today…why do that when we could let them hang over us for the next 6 months?

This is the most succinct description of the American pandemic I've seen (by @jbouie): "the pandemic made it very clear that we live in a society and a good chunk of americans said 'no thanks'" https://t.co/8MjrCSnc05

Do you think pronouns in bios are "lefty bullshit"? It's actually quite nice and respectful. If you don't agree, you can keep that thought inside. Put it in your mental hot take rolodex under "N" for Nope and don't say it.

Privilege isn’t the presence of perks and benefits. It’s the absence of obstacles and barriers. That’s a lot harder to notice. If you have a hard time recognizing your privileges, focus on what you don’t have to go through. Let that fuel your empathy and action.

@jrizzo I’m always here for you.

If Hilary Clinton lost a second term and incited a mob to try to overturn the election--trashing the Capitol and killing a cop-- I bet that a majority of Dems as well as every Republican would have voted impeachment.

We’re now in the scene where the kid fights back against the bully and kicks the shit out of them and the bully, stunned just sobs like a baby.
