“I have already lost touch with a couple of people I used to be.” - Joan Didion “On Keeping A Notebook” Today, we lost the writer who made me want to write. Her words made me feel closer to everyone.

Breaking News: Joan Didion has died at age 87. Her sharp dispatches on California and tough, terse novels forged a distinct new voice in American writing. nyti.ms/3yV6aHR

The “Finding Nemo” subplot where three sharks are in recovery for eating fish is a master stroke of creative writing.

The former Walmart in Pittston is becoming the latest home for quality care in the North East. Hear about the new facility that’s coming to nepa from @wbrewyou. geisinger.cc/3icaHik


Barebaked Ladies, “Pinch Me.” Nerdy post here, but that band had a ton of brilliantly written songs and were deceptively dope instrumentally. The hoke was intentional, and it drove me a away for a few years, but it’s aged well for me. A novelty act for me in ‘98; now a true fan.

On this day in 2010, Doc was perfect. ❤️

Closing the loop on this investigation that caused a bit of a stir when the Justice Department took the unorthodox step of announcing it publicly from the outset .... U.S. Attorney's Office in Harrisburg announces no evidence of crimes in Luzerne County discarded ballots case.

I’m glad @DanRather said it, because from me, it’s nothing but liberal bias. #DanTheMan

What the heck is a “preemptive pardon” other than an admission of guilt?



Pop-culture has graced us with generations of American sexuality and has so many leads, but my benchmark for sexy slaps me in the face in the form of Marisa Tomei every time I watch “My Cousin Vinny”


Among the plethora of external stressors we’ve all experienced this year, it’s going to be my cursor constantly and randomly jumping around news websites because of pop-up ads that’s going to make me snap.


I have no respect for Ann Coulter. But for as awful as she’s been in so many instances, perhaps her most appalling quality is she’s an ideological mercenary. She truly believes in nothing unless it offers her profit or personal benefit. #opportunistatallcosts

News of Donald Trump commuting Roger Stone's sentence proves what was obvious since the beginning. The pledge to "drain the swamp" was about as real as Trump University. Many will conclude Stone had a lot to say to implicate Trump, didn't say it, and was rewarded accordingly.

Am proud to say that Lafayette College has joined an amicus brief in support of this lawsuit Harvard and M.I.T. Sue to Stop Trump Visa Rules for Foreign Students nytimes.com/2020/07/08/us/…


I would be honored if this woman would lead our country some day 🙏

Like so many of you, I’m pained by these recent tragedies. And I’m exhausted by a heartbreak that never seems to stop. Right now it’s George, Breonna, and Ahmaud. Before that it was Eric, Sandra, and Michael. It just goes on, and on, and on.

Today, Wisconsin voters had to choose between making their voice heard and keeping themselves and their family safe. No American should ever have to make that choice. We must do better to ensure voting is safe for all voters. The latest Wisconsin voting information is below.

WISCONSIN: In order for your absentee ballot to be counted, it must be turned in to your polling place or municipal clerk's office or postmarked by today. For more information, visit → myvote.wi.gov

Don’t know why, but Primetime telling me we’ll be alright is comforting to me m.youtube.com/watch?v=1-Bbj1…


Dear reputable, national publications for which I used to die on the hill of defense, Please stop attributing information to “people close to the matter” and anonymous sources. It will only continue to threaten your credibility, and a line must be drawn as to what is sound info.
