A WaPo endorsement for president had been written and was ready to publish before Jeff Bezos decided the paper would not endorse.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

It’s one thing for some leftist group to call you a fascist. Quite another when it’s a fellow Republican. And absolutely astonishing when it’s your own chief of staff.

Trump on migrants crossing the border: "I don’t know if you call them 'people,' in some cases," he said. "They’re not people, in my opinion." He later referred to them as "animals."

Four decades ago, Ridley Scott turned a bunch of skinheads, a sledgehammer and a dystopian vision into a legendary Super Bowl ad for Apple. Here, an oral history of how it happened. https://t.co/wmuQyVQCqy

The British musician Shabaka Hutchings is an artist in residence at Winter Jazzfest in New York this week, playing an instrument group that he first picked up in 2019, and that André 3000 recently gave a boost: flutes. https://t.co/ObwjjZBtOt

@brad_frost .qxd for sure.
