@peregrine I have an Anker PowerCore+ 20100 that I have not used heavily, but seems to work well. USB-C + 2xUSB-A. Button-pushing sequence selects “C” charging vs supply, and you have to be careful when connecting to notebook with USB-C. Don’t think I’ve had this issue with iPad Pro.

This was the murder that cops & the right wing tried to pin on protesters. Turns out the National Guard shot the business owner. Wow. What a “surprise.” Didn’t see that coming. https://t.co/zEpUlzvBN6

Official response from CNN General Counsel to @TeamTrump‘s letter demanding CNN apologize for a poll that shows @JoeBiden leading.

Fun fact: the Confederate who fired on Ft. Sumter and started the Civil War has a U.S. Army base named after him. The commander of the Union soldiers he fired on does not https://t.co/f5BtoT7YDx

Here's a piece of journalism trivia that seems topical right now: The skinny reporter's pad we all use was invented by Claude Sitton, who covered civil rights in the 1960s, because he needed to hide his notebooks to avoid being beaten up. https://t.co/jWwIyf20PK

This is incredible, chilling -- and brave.

I know we're all mad at NYT, but I didn't realize how much I needed a story about how to get a GD hug until I found myself bawling over this one. https://t.co/y2JxK6s0LC

I will not tolerate excessive use of force or police brutality. George Floyd’s murder is a despicable act, that this act was perpetrated by someone that was sworn to uphold the law should anger ethical law enforcement leaders. @OzaukeeSheriff

If you notice trending topics that appear to be racist this week, you’ll likely be greeted by gifs and videos of BTS or other popular Korean pop groups.

After Pearl Harbor 1941, FDR refused suggestions to surround the White House with light tanks because it might look as if our democracy was under siege:

Some thoughts on Mark Zuckerberg and whether he "gets it." No. Of course not. And here's why. #MakeMeSmart https://t.co/6D6dvIPc1o

If you can lay down at night, knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

@mollywood Hope you have a good birthday. Depending on you, Kai, and the team.

The state of Georgia made it look like its covid cases were going down ***by putting the dates out of order on its chart*** May 5 was followed by April 25, then back to May again, whatever made it look like a downslope.

If only there were some public fund billionaires could pay into along with everyone else that helps fund our infrastructure, hospitals, and public systems all at once.

It could even be a modest % of what they earn every year. We could have an agency collect it and everything

Tonight the State Dept's Inspector General was ousted. A Democratic aide on Capitol Hill tells me that the OIG was looking into Secretary Pompeo's misuse of a political appointee at the Department to perform personal tasks for himself and Mrs. Pompeo.
