Why have so many in the US business, academia and political worlds done so little to create a sense of urgency and act on the pandemic? Where are public information spots? Where's the natl campaign to donate to relief funds or food banks? My take on @cnn. cnn.com/2020/12/07/opinions/…

Is there only one person in the world who can actually do something about the fact that the war is spiraling out of control? @POTUS? The Middle East is at risk of coming apart and it's in the hands of Donald Trump? newsweek.com/iran-has-surrou…

And this from the @BostonGlobe
Seahawks fans have arrived en masse to SF. Feels like they are taking over

The least experienced person ever to run a major news organization has, despite her own sympathies about concentration camps in WWII, chosen to delay a story about the horrors in a US camp. Tragic for one of the world's greatest investigative teams. And yet, not shocking.

Well said @MarkCHealey. They don't play good ball, don't have good at bats collectively or individually and consistenly make mistakes on the field and in the dugout. They haven't been taught, drilled or held accountable. There's no leadership. Change at the top thus mandatory.

Hadn't thought about the leak strategy that includes leaking to motivate the player.
Replying to @MarkCHealey
In some situations this is how it's done. Throw this out there and see what comes back. Prepare the team. On the other hand seems like The Mets front office is a little more buttoned down than this.

I got caught up in the moment 🤣

"Chief of Staff to Speaker Johnson got picked up after the Joint Sesion address on Tuesday because he got in his car and then he plowed into the back of a parked police car. He got picked up for DUI. They let him go... My motto now is: No more DUI hires." - Rep. Jamies Raskin

How ironic that @amazon has just made available an extraordinary documentary about my former boss Katharine Graham of @washingtonpost.com. Here's hoping Amazon founder and Post owner Jeff Bezos, his associates and today's Post management spend 90 minutes reflecting on her legacy.
