@raymondpsimon @AlexandraJacobs How could the Cerf bio be more entertaining than this review?

“But you can take the measure of a man by the nicknames he is given as well as the ones he dishes out. Bennett was Sonny to his pops, Beans (as in ‘full of’) to college chums, Cerfie to his co-founder and closest friend...” — Alexandra Jacobs nytimes.com/2026/01/18/boo…

@SHDetroit Website for “Shakespeare in Detroit”?

@nytopinion @AmandaJayatissa @amandajayatissa aptly refers to “On Writing” when she says in @nytimes what I’ve always thought about “Carrie.” “Carrie” is @StephenKing’s version of a feminist novel, just as “The Dead Zone” is an anti-fascist one.

Much has changed in the 50 years since Stephen King’s “Carrie” was first released, “yet Carrie White remains a strikingly relevant and highly relatable figure,” @AmandaJayatissa says. “She raged her way to a place in pop culture’s pantheon. But why?” Read: nyti.ms/4aCySyE

@UAW Best wishes to my trans siblings in the UAW.

🌈 Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 🌟💖✨ Today, we celebrate the strength and beauty of our trans siblings and community. Let's continue to uplift and support one another in creating a more inclusive and loving world for all. #TransDayOfVisibility #StandUpUAW

@TV5MONDEINFO @JTAtv5monde @MagicSystemOffi Thank you for this.

@JTAtv5monde @MagicSystemOffi 🇨🇮 #CôtedIvoire "L’immigration est un thème fort de la musique #zouglou. Les artistes ironisent, ridiculisent et s’inspirent des péripéties rencontrées par les immigrés en France notamment" explique Germain-Arsène Kadi, spécialiste des cultures urbaines.

@KnvulS From your Dec 12 NYTimes article on sleep. “…studies have suggested long-term antihistamine use is associated with increased dementia risk...” Can you point me toward related reading on Remeron, which as I understand it works by suppressing histamines?

Another SpaceX launch experiences “a rapid, unscheduled disassembly.” A bit like X.com?

@carrolotta @UAW Yes, This is the biggest reason to join the UAW. You can’t “stand up” on strike, write up a grievance, or even speak up on the shop floor without a union.

This is so exciting, but it would be more exciting to hear they would like to join the UAW. Belonging to a union can get you more than wages.@UAW. Helping the working class. #big6

@KeithBradsher Xi says China “must not aim too high or go overboard with social security, and steer clear of the idleness-breeding trap of welfarism.” I could warn Donald Trump that there’s a new candidate for the Republican nomination. But instead I’ll just say “Workers of the world unite!”

China has increased the stress on its economy by trimming social assistance programs even as real estate prices fall, unemployment rises and family incomes suffer. nytimes.com/2023/08/24/bus…

@detroitdsa @WayneStateYDSA @haileggy Wow, two minimum wage jobs and school full time as your bio says—for sure, your generation has it harder than mine.

@WayneStateYDSA @haileggy We're taking inspiration from other DSA chapters featuring their delegates! We'll be highlighting a few of our own delegates as we count down to DSA's National Convention.

@kristianiaclark Sorry that I spelled Krissy wrong in tweet to @Marketplace w/praise for her story. Am shaking w/anger at private welfare contractors & temp agencies profits from poverty-&-insecurity wages. That creep who lectured on self-esteem! Keep up the good work, Krissy!

@Marketplace Bravo to Chrissy Clark for that report on “welfare to work” … to continued poverty.

@CatrinEinhorn @susanchira Your 2017 article on sexual harassment at Ford still holds up as stellar reporting. Useful in our UAW reform movement and beyond.

@HillNadell @RealDanielNieh @nytimesbooks A novel that “… skitters across the spectrum between orthodox and radical like a polygraph needle wired to a nervy accomplice.” I was left wondering whether I’ve ever had as much fun as you did writing this entertaining review.

“Warmth filled my guts like whiskey. I didn’t need a map…I was along for the ride.” Read @RealDanielNieh’s review of Walter Mosley’s hard-boiled novel EVERY MAN A KING in @nytimesbooks nytimes.com/2023/02/17/boo…
