With so much going on, Dr. King’s leadership is as steadying a force as it’s ever been. I’ve been reflecting a lot on his example, and how it might help us move forward after these last four years. #MLKDay

There’s no place I’d rather be right now that at Ebenezer Baptist. There’s no one I’d wish see this moment more than John Lewis. There’s no one who inspired this more than Martin Luther King, Jr.
And there’s no greater heir to it all than Stacy Abrams.

The family and friends of Kristin Linklater are sad to announce her death at the age of 84 at Housegarth, Quoyloo, Orkney on Friday 5th June. An inspirational writer, teacher of voice and Shakespeare, she helped people from all walks of life to free their natural voice.

If you’re unbothered or mildly bothered by the 1st knee, but outraged by the 2nd, then, in my father’s words, you’re “more devoted to order than to justice.” And more passionate about an anthem that supposedly symbolizes freedom than you are about a Black man’s freedom to live.

Watch this. It shows why we should all do the right thing and stay home to the fullest extent possible. All of us can help slow the spread of the virus, protecting the elderly, the vulnerable, and each other. washingtonpost.com/graphics/…

Today’s date is a rare eight-digit palindrome (reads the same, forward and backward), 02/02/2020 — the only one of its kind this century: The previous eight-digit palindrome like this was 11/11/1111, 909 years ago. We’ll only have to wait another 101 years for 12/12/2121.

Seven years ago in book The Fine Print I told how PG&E got extra money again & again to replace power poles on a 50-year cycle, but diverted funds.
Actual cycle? 750 years!
Predictable result? California is living through it.
Big Calif news orgs shrugged. Bad call, very bad.
