Figured I'd pin my talk from last November's annual the World Business Forum conference. If you want a sneak peek at the book I'm working on... .vimeo.com/656078779/65a9…

But, sure, tell me how the US doesn't reflect racial biases: nytimes.com/2024/04/08/ups…

@emma_doell @RpsAgainstTrump I think he is trying to tell us that *he* is a rapist.

@RpsAgainstTrump Is he trying to tell us that all men are rapists?

A pastor on women wearing shorts: “if you dress like that and you get raped and I'm on the jury, he's going to go free...a man's a man." Sickening.

By this logic, Mexico could build a factory in Juarez that spewed noxious chemicals into El Paso, and we'd be totally OK with it. Of course we would. nytimes.com/2024/02/21/us/…

If you think the Japanese-American WWII internment camps weren't a stain on our history, you probably think Trump's internment and deportation ideas are pretty cool. Once again, the always switched-on @HC_Richardson weaves history into today's news: open.substack.com/pub/heathercox…

@jkempcpa So you think he can reach it?

He wipes his butt with the US Constitution.

Thank you Trump, and thank you MAGA.

When I was at @phillipsacademy, my house master took a small group of us to hear the @BostonSymphony perform. The surprise? We then went to dinner with @SeijiOzawa1935. What an astonishing, captivating human. The wold is a worse place without him in it. nytimes.com/2024/02/09/art…

I’ve been trying to decide if the tilt towards absurdity that MAGA conspiracies embrace is primarily malice or primarily stupidity. Reading @DavidAFrench op-ep today, I’ve finally decided: it’s both.

@j_rplacitas Nor apparently, the gathering at Nicea.

I guess she never heard of Montaigne, Rousseau, Voltaire, or John Locke.

Never mind that we had 43 Presidents leave office without immunity. One, Nixon, received a pardon before his trial. And not one was indicted. 250 years. Until this oleaginous stain sat in the Oval Office.

@reginaldedward3 And never mind that her fan base doesn’t include old, angry, white people. She’s a pop star. Her fans are teenagers.

Imagine: A demilitarized, sovereign, independent, stable, happy Palestine. Reconstructed by the wealthy Arab world as a beacon of what the region could be. A healthy trading partner for Israel. Like a Switzerland in the Middle East. Just imagine.

This is an absolutely blistering, historical, persuasive, moral and philosophically coherent speech. A must-listen for anyone who understands this moment in history. @HC_Richardson

@HC_Richardson Not to mention the confounding use of *both* Ambien and Provigil? 🤔

So former Representative Madison Cawthorn was onto something?

The thing about surfing waves big enough to have material consequences is that they simultaneously require total attention and the capacity to totally let go and trust. A wild combination.

Maria Popover is simply one of the best things around. She herself, like the hummingbirds in this delightful essay, hovers somewhere between science and magic.

If you begin your political argument with "As the Book of Revelations says...", you've already lost.

Oh, man, I bet Truth Social is being drowned by a tsunami of digital ketchup,

This is pure speculation, but I bet that if Trump had simply invested each tranche of his inheritance in an S&P 500 index fund when he received it, he'd be among the wealthiest men in the world today. I mean, $40mm in 1980 would be worth more than $5billion, div's included.

Just a reminder that if an unfertilized egg is a human, so is a sperm. So every time a guy masturbates, he murders millions of unborn humans. Is that really how we’re going to land this?
