Visiting the memorial and museum was deeply moving. Like that day, I felt small and helpless. And just so, so sad.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

He’s going to announce some bullshit about foreign election interference in the 2020 election on Thursday. Probably so he can attempt to interfere in this year’s election.

The problem is not “work from home” as a concept — it’s managers and executives who don’t know how to build a strong team culture & enable people to build meaningful relationships (both laterally and vertically) in a remote/flexible environment.

This is Trump’s Watergate. Today, the @nytimes.com released a truly stunning report on the Epstein cover-up by the White House.  Collusion, breaking the law, evading subpoenas—it’s all in there. Read the report here: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/m...

The day after Colbert’s final show, CBS Radio News signs off as well. The news program that became famous as Edward R. Murrow reported live from London rooftops during the Blitz, now silenced. Good night, and good luck. And Fvck you CBS.

Best trip of the year: #NYC. Mostly solo trip, which was so, so good for me. I’ve become such a homebody (raising two kids the last 18 years) I’d nearly forgotten how much I love exploring a new city on my own.

I love your TikToks - and admire your steely resolve in leaving a warm bed and facing the cold outside to take your daily photo. Alas, my bed is just too warm. 😉So, I’m working on self-discipline in other ways. (And wishing I could buy your kids books here in the US.)
