I am BEGGING for an editor at one of the big news orgs to do a story on the importance of WhatsApp to many countries’ communications infrastructures. What was today like in India? Myanmar? What’s it like to have a sick relative across the world and not be able to contact them?

I returned to the office recently and had two colleagues tell me about how they almost died of COVID. I think as we return to normal life, not only will we have the joy of seeing people we haven’t in over a year, but we’ll start to realize how close we came to loosing so many.

A professor of mine went to go hear Derrida speak once. The entire talk was about cows; everyone was flummoxed but listened carefully, and took notes about...cows. There was a short break, and when Derrida came back, he was like, “I’m told it is pronounced ‘chaos.’” – at Philadelphia, PA
Can we talk about how @stewart_iii has been the mvp of @ZoeysPlaylist season 2? Every time a song starts I know it’s going to be amazing.

Hey guys, please ignore this type of garbage. The truth is that elections are never decided on election night. In Utah (and most states) it takes 2 weeks to finalize counting and certify results. It really doesn’t matter who is ahead on election night, it only matters when...1/
