A mom and her toddler (maybe 3?) got on the subway this morning & someone offered their seat. She politely declined because they were getting off next. The cherubic baby looks up at her and says “it’s nice to be nice.” And she said “yes it is darling.”

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now.

One of the things I realized during the pandemme was that I had very few photos of my friends. I have tried to take as many as I can, which is often awkward and foolish, but worth it. And sending one to a mutual friend we're thinking of is the best!

Netflix: Welcome back. Would you like to watch the rest of this movie you watched 3 minutes of 2 years ago? Apple TV: Hello! You’re new here! Oh Slow Horses is what you want? That’s 3 screens away. You probably want to start on season 1, episode 1.

I once had a professor ask “Why is there a Business section in the newspaper but not a Labor section?” My classmates and I probably rolled our eyes, but damned if I haven’t remembered that question every few days for 30 years now.

My take as a public administration scholar: "Andor is to the Star Wars franchise movies what a LeCarré novel is to James Bond movies. It dwells in the gritty detail, petty bureaucracy and moral ambiguity of a shadowy world." open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

In the three majority-Native districts in Alaska, the 'no' to repealing RCV won 64% to 36%, netting 2,960 votes. Statewide, the 'no' only won by 664 votes. This was not a coincidence, but result of plenty of organizing, & work by Native leaders: boltsmag.org/alaska-measu...
