@CapehartJ @nytdavidbrooks @NewsHour After the craziness of each week, on Friday nights we look forward to the PBS NewsHour, especially Brooks & Capehart. Pleeeeaaase lengthen their segment. It’s way too short. Thanks all involved for a great program.

You will encounter people today who are struggling. You may not see it because we are all good at camouflage. And yet, though you may not know it, they are leaning on your light, your smile, your kindness. Give it freely to them; pour your heart into this world.

I hear some on the news saying that women are panicking and scared. I don’t like the word panicking, it sounds hysterical. What we are is pissed off and angry, but also focused and committed. The majority of the country did not want this.

@AshWrites Some of my fave childhood memories are of a beloved neighborhood mom—a fun, gifted artist—who used to do surprise chalk drawings on my driveway or sidewalk in honor of this or that accomplishment, or after I went on a trip (travel was/is my passion). Chalk drawings are pure joy.

@cher Love, LOVE Al Pacino—but that 1993 Best Actor Oscar should have gone to Denzel for his brilliant, beautiful portrayal of Malcolm X. A performance that’s still vivid in my mind…

Thank you for the condensed recap of how & why Brexit came about. Yes, I hope it goes away... 🙏🏻

[Dr. Brian May @DrBrianMay]

I’m dreaming of a Brexit-free Christmas…
I wonder if I’m the only one praying tonight for a miracle which will make Brexit, deal or no deal, simply go away…. ? The legacy of the vain, arrogant and badly-advised… https://t.co/GoK7E3KUYj
