So, it seems the breaking news from Bob Woodward's #1 mega-bestselling book – Woodward's conclusion at the end of the book – is that ... Trump is "the wrong man for the job." Who knew? https://t.co/Vf3xF62dcK

[Melville House @melvillehouse]

These authoritarian traits fit @realDonaldTrump's personality like a custom-made suit. Which concerns you most?

@JohnWDean's AUTHORITARIAN NIGHTMARE dives into the studies that characterize social dominators so we can better understand Trump and his followers.

[Melville House @melvillehouse]

Using social science research, learn how Trump has gotten support despite his cruel and despotic regime.

When I look back on this time in the future, one thing I’m going to remember is the sound of helicopters overhead.

[Moby-Dick @MobyDick]

@MobyLives Hmmm .... lemme think about this one ....

[Dennis Johnson @MobyLives]

Don’t forget we could ALSO be hit by an asteroid! The thing is, it’s not like this is an industry with any margin in it in the first place. We’re all mission-driven. Thus it’s a business of not mere Micawbers, but actual survivors who know a little something about transformation.

The AP style guide has a new rule: "No hyphen is needed in a compound modifier if the modifier is commonly recognized as one phrase, and if the meaning is clear and unambiguous... One example is first quarter touchdown" (instead of "first-quarter.") Do you agree with the AP?
