@StartHereABC Lori Lightfoot didn't lose the primary in February, she lost the election. Today's election is a runoff, between Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson. You've got this wrong twice now. Just close your eyes and pretend this is happening in NYC, that will help you remember.

@tashisamuel All credit goes to Christine, she's a very strong person as well as being a pleasure to work with.

Taking a break from dystopia to announce that this new Taylor Swift album is brilliant.

Really, @BBCNews You had George Floyd's surname spelled wrong on this Facebook headline for at least 45 minutes?

@Remember_Sarah I also want mine to make good life decisions instead of plot-driving bad life decisions.

@stopcofra There had never been a (safe, effective, accessible) polio vaccine until the 1950s. There had never been (safe, effective, accessible) antibiotics until the 19th C. Medical teams around the world are working on this, with budgets: I'm just saying I wouldn't rule it out forever.
