(Also this is what happens when you put a Murdoch lieutenant in charge of a publication. You foxify it, slowly but surely.)

"Musk... rich beyond imagination, he still has the wheedling affect of a needy youngster who requires (and demands) attention. Like Trump, he seems unable to believe that although money can buy many things...it cannot buy respect."

@Bigdaddynsc @ChefJonKung Same here!

@lindaholmes Just kind of Harry’s general disposition ❤️

"[I]t’s just overly simplistic to suggest, as some have, that Scott’s giving somehow renders staffed foundations obsolete or that it is something all should emulate — even as her approach does hold lessons for donors of all stripes..." via @CEPData https://t.co/8UuK0gwphQ

"Having low expectations, while perhaps sad, can also feel surprisingly refreshing. 'There is all this pressure to achieve big things, but maybe it’s better to not eliminate everything you do in your current life and replace it with new habits.'” https://t.co/JRZYIOuIDf

@MediumSizeMeech What else can one say?

@SSENSE I am having the same issue as others. Placed an order on Nov 27 and have heard nothing. My email to customer service has also bounced. Is the order lost or cancelled at this point?

"If 'Bros' is a test of anything, it’s empathy...Can a straight audience see themselves in them, while also appreciating the differences? Gay people who love rom-coms have been doing the same for decades." #BrosMovie https://t.co/6tEJyDE3rb

"And so the telling and retelling of this story are the closest we, as a people, come to the generational transmission of hope, which can itself be seen as an act of spiritual resistance." @IKAR_LA #ChagSameach

"As long as there is power, there will be abuses of power," writes @SharonBrous "But the Exodus is also a reminder that any moment could be the inflection point between oppression and liberation." 1/2

“If what you want is to change someone’s mind, I have to think education is more effective than public shaming and punishment. Particularly when that person shows a sincere willingness to learn and apologize,” tweeted @SharonBrous, the senior rabbi of @IKAR_LA

[Matty S. Wilder @mattyster]

Ms. Goldberg’s initial apology was the ideal response. “I’m sorry for the hurt I have caused,” she tweeted. She acknowledged her wrongdoing and expressed a willingness to listen and rethink her ideas about race... https://t.co/ShbEjvuYty
