Breaking news: @CNN has learned that at least 5 pilots in the US reported problems controlling Boeing 737 Max 8 jets during critical moments of flight in recent months, according to records in a federal government incident database. Why are these jets still flying in the US??? – at Manhattan, NY

Where does Hawaii fit in this? To what extent have environmental regulations driven up housing costs? Are we protecting Hawaii’s gorgeous environment to be a playground for tourists and the super rich where ordinary locals can’t afford housing? – at Honolulu, HI

‘For every novel I write a full draft and then I delete it, and write it again properly. I even delete it from the trash can. It’s like being a dressmaker - mocking it up in a cheap fabric, to then make it in silk later’ Sarah Moss on her brutal writing technique! @gowerst_books – at Camden Town, London

Good morning. Here are some nice things in the world: Libraries. Bookshops. People who work in libraries. People who work in bookshops. Writers. Artists. Poets. Daydreamers. Reading to someone. Being read to. Reading in the bath/on the beach/on the train/on the loo.

50 years after Dr. King's last birthday, it's up to all of us to keep his Dream of a Beloved Community alive: don't demean and belittle, inspire and empower; don't isolate and abuse, embrace and serve.

Two weeks ago a 26-year old soldier raced repeatedly into a burning Bronx apartment building, saving four people before he died in the flames. His name was Pvt. Emmanuel Mensah and he immigrated from Ghana, a country Donald Trump apparently thinks produces very subpar immigrants.

I’ve traveled and worked in Haiti, and across Africa and Central America. The countries the president described with his epithet do not exist. Some thoughts as we remember those lost in Haiti eight years ago today: facebook.com/billclinton/pos…
