I just asked Congress to support the “Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024” Click this link and support restaurants! p2a.co/L2lFJ2m

Echo this loud and clear: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) ≠ Discrimination. It's right there in the initialism. Let's define some terms... Diversity: It's about bringing together people of different races, ethnicities, genders, ages, abilities, and more. This mix enriches perspectives and experiences. Equity: This means creating fair opportunities for everyone. It acknowledges that not everyone starts from the same place due to systemic factors, and strives to balance this. Inclusion: It's about ensuring everyone feels welcome, respected, and valued, regardless of their background. Discrimination: This is the unfair treatment of people based on race, age, sex, or disability. It's about unjustly favoring some groups over others, leading to inequality. Racial Discrimination: A form of discrimination specifically targeting race or ethnicity, leading to fewer opportunities and systemic inequality. The Difference: DEI is about valuing humanity's diversity, ensuring fairness, and creating an environment where everyone can excel. It's proactive, aiming to reflect society's diversity in all life aspects. Discrimination, however, is exclusionary and unjust. It creates barriers, whereas DEI aims to remove them. In Summary: DEI is not equivalent to discrimination. It's about dismantling barriers and ensuring fairness for all. It's about building a world where everyone has equal opportunities, free from bias and systemic hurdles. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) ≠ Discrimination Share this with whoever needs to see it.

@jgmahoney Ad in the cooking, spacial issues, and the mess - give me a lobster roll all day.

As heretical to my New England roots as it may sound, I wonder if the highest peak of lobster enlightenment isn’t being able to break one down flawlessly, but realizing that it’s more of a pain in the ass than it’s worth.

A message to America and Congress… #wildfire #firefighters #hotshots #earth

No one in Congress can speak to the genocidal war crimes occurring in Gaza better than Sister @RashidaTlaib. But the derelict duopoly backs AIPAC while stabbing this valiant sister in the back and is complicit with the carnage of incessant militarism against innocent people. Palestinian lives are valuable. #CeaseFire NOW!!

I'm glad to say that this is on the wain. It used to be a regular ploy, but now, with better technology, whenever someone hears a European accent they auto-grat that check immediately

Flying to Catalonia next Saturday. I gotta focus. I’m shifting into Barcelona mode.

Perfect. Clearly shot from some motorized gizmo, not a bike, weaving in & out of the bike lane, probably doing 25 MPH, not following car rules or bike rules and a danger to pedestrians. Whatever you think of bike lanes, their use by unlicensed motorized vehicles is a scourge twitter.com/berkie1/status…

missing Sheba (who came to us out of the woods, then left us returning to the woods)

Judi Dench was on Graham Norton last night to push her new book about her life and work with Shakespeare. After making the point we quote Shakespeare daily without knowing it, this happened:

@melnickjeffrey1 LINDA RONSTADT'S VERSION!

I've tweeted every kinda tweet that's ever been made about how much I love the song "Willin" and yet none of my so-called friends here ever thought to tell me that Tom Petty regularly covered it live and it is easily findable on your favorite video streaming site.

Rest in Peace to Mark “The 45 King” @TheReal45King #FlavorUnit 🕊️

@melnickjeffrey1 In his early career, Waits is exceptionally handsome, but his classic sartorial style isn't hobo cosplay, it's theatre. And maybe it has not served him well because his lyricism should be up there with. Bobby and Joni. And oh yeah, Im mad and just getting started ....

Thinking about Tom Waits tonight. He comforted a lot of people who worried they were ugly but just need to go live in a city.
