It was great to be in Ardmore to celebrate the opening of their new SEPTA station. Ardmore is one of the busiest stops on the Paoli line, and I am proud to be a strong supporter of SEPTA's ongoing efforts to modernize its rail network and make every station ADA accessible!

A friend who works in cybersecurity has an entire presentation on how AI is a tool not for productivity but for surveillance. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Tomorrow night in Philly! I'll join a panel at the American Philosophical Society to discuss developmental editing: what it is, when it happens in a manuscript workflow, how to find an editor or a client, and advice for writers and editors. Looking forward to it!

Challenge: Post your last photo taken in DC to show what a hell-hole it is.

A group of World War II veterans in their 90s poses in front of the World War II memorial in Washington DC. A fountain sprays water in the background. In the distant background in the Lincoln Memorial. The weather is gorgeous.

And now other senators are standing to ask questions (that don't require him to yield the floor) to give him a break. I just called @fetterman.senate.gov to ask him to join them. Call your senators and ask them to join Cory Booker!

Y'all, Cory Booker is doing an old-school, Mr.-Smith filibuster on the Senate floor (14 hours and counting) to amplify the crisis in America right now. It's magnificent. We need more of our elected officials to do something like this. www.youtube.com/live...

DEI: Gospel imperative or radical leftwing agenda? What does the Bible really say about diversity, equity and inclusion? While political leaders label DEI a "radical leftist agenda," Jesus' ministry tells a different story. So why do some Christians reject it, asks Emery J. Cummins?

Folks, I'm personally in "godfuckingdamnit" mode right now so I'm certainly not going to tell people to keep their chins up or to keep fighting or whatever. Later that's going to be a thing. But today and for a bit after I'm going to feel all my bad feelings.

Legendary graphic designer Lou Dorfsman designed the 35-foot-long Gastrotypographicalassemblage to decorate the cafeteria of the CBS building in NYC. It was discarded in the 1990s but was salvaged, restored, and reinstalled at the Culinary Institute of America in the early 2000s.
