Director of FOR WHEN YOU GET LOST. Mama of littles. Always dreaming of travel but watching for magic in LA.

What possible interest would the US government have in keeping Epstein’s clients secret? Oh…

[Jim Keane @jamestkeane]

Happy to add @Joeyaucoin to our roster.

Every admirable instance of intellectual clarity and moral courage is a sad reminder of how few such there have been.

Tear down North Carolina's gerrymandered districts.

@dhacker615 @maxdubler LA drivers ARE good! I think LA drivers are noticeably more aware and helpful, like letting people over. The traffic overall is stressful, but the drivers themselves largely make it better.

@Number10cat That’s the least of it. His claim that it was fixed, and there was no impact is false.

Rubio claims that @USAID lifesaving assistance for health and humanitarian needs will continue. But his team just communicated that the entire agency will be imminently reduced from 14,000 to 294 people. Just 12 in Africa.

Would-be theologian JD Vance offers a godawful reading of Christianity

Here, I argue that
(a) the sources on "ordo amoris" don't say what he thinks

AND

(b) the core question — what do we owe strangers? — is a genuinely important philosophical question!

Just worked about 14 hours making sure Trump's inauguration was secure and peaceful, got home, read this. Thanks America.

@NYMag @Curbed The end of this story knocked me OUT. Great writing from @bridgetgillard

The Department of Education has the smallest staff of any cabinet agency.

91% of its budget goes to Pell Grants, Student Loans, underresourced elementary and secondary schools, and special education.

I'm sure the states will manage that well.

[David Shuster @DavidShuster]

Trump has now reaffirmed his plan to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education. For the record that department funds, among other things, all the special education and special needs program in public schools and public colleges in all 50 states.

For When You Get Lost is a beautiful look at family - what drives us apart and what brings us back together. Check out my review and interviews with @mesteffes and @theJenSorenson. #FilmX https://t.co/LOIqpuZmWE

Not only did we find her and endorse her Y’ALL SHE WON

[Steve Stoliar @StoliarSteve]

On this day in 1893, silent superstar Lillian Gish was born in Springfield, Ohio. In 1988, I wrote to her asking if silent films had actual dialogue written out in the scripts or if there was just a general description of what was being said. This was her remarkable reply.

#MarcellusWilliams is only THREE days away from being executed for a crime he didn’t commit. We need you to use your platform to stop this cruel, irreversible mistake before it’s too late. ⁠
Though the governor's office is closed today, you can tweet and e-mail Gov. Parson now (https://t.co/sAwrXjul6a) and urge him to stop the execution. You can also use this social media toolkit to create your own post or video about Marcellus: https://t.co/MVst5funYF

If you read just one thing today, read this excerpt from my @parisreview interview with #RayBradbury. Today is Bradbury’s birthday and this story has one of the best endings EVER. #inspiration

@davekellett They want you to ask so they can scream WE JUST SELL FOOD FOR DOGS at you.
