Would love to share @NewYorker articles with friends, but I get the need for a paywall. @nytimes solved this with “gift an article.” What if @NewYorker let subscribers share an article for $1? Great stories spread, and the magazine still earns.

Is it just me, or does the Trump hush money trial feel like the Seinfeld finale? Life imitating art.

I just learned Culver City's Mayor @AlbertVeraJr led a vote to remove the city's protected bike line last night. This is a sad backward step for Culver City and Los Angeles County.
Mayor @AlbertVeraJr and his 2 colleagues just voted to ELIMINATE THE PROTECTED BIKE LANE to add more car lanes despite electeds across the state, 32 organizations, 20 Culver City students, the threat of a CEQA lawsuit, and an avalanche of public comments urging him to lead.

Whenever I get to know someone who seems perfect, I end up disappointed. Whenever I get to know someone who I think is the worst of the worst, I'm pleasantly surprised. Angels and demons aren't real.

Feeling like your creative work goes unnoticed? Wondering if you're just not cut out for it? Don't give up just because you're feeling unseen. The world needs your unique perspective. Here's a mini reflection on how to break through.

I walked by @MrTravisBennett (Elz) today. I am not one to spot or recognize celebrities. But I really appreciate his character in DAVE and I was oddly starstruck. The best I could muster was "really looking forward to season 3". He smiled and said "me too". Made my day.

I just backed 'Light for Ukraine' by @SebLindstrom and @wtysl They've teamed up with Ukrainian Railways, to raise money to deliver custom-made candles, that can last up to 90 hours, to the Ukrainian families most affected by electrical blackouts. kickstarter.com/projects/seb…

"More than 50% of Ukraine's electrical system is damaged... Long-lasting candles are in such high demand the cost can be up to $100 US dollars for a 90-hour candle; inflated far beyond the means of Ukrainian families during this time."

This morning, my reflection app asked me for a book I would recommend, as a prompt. The power of that reflection was that it made me think about a life-altering moment from 33 years ago, the effect it had on me, and a connection to my dad that I'd forgotten. #reflectED
