"Sheriff" ANDY GRIFFITH talks in 1972 about the possibility of celebrity power being turned into corrupted political power. Although he’s talking about the excellent movie, A FACE IN THE CROWD (1957) - this is about as prescient as it comes, for 47 years later, "The Apprentice" TV show premiered.

There was an active shooter at the Islamic Center in San Diego. 3 murdered. 2 shooters deceased Every day. Multiple times a day. When will it ever stop? Never, I guess, as long as we have scared people and unmedicated people. And a congress to afraid to do their job. #SheShed

It is one of my favorite halls of Kyiv Picture Gallery. The gallery is housed in the former mansion of Fedir Tereshchenko (1832–1894), a Ukrainian industrialist and art collector. I visited it today to see a new exhibition. Ukraine hides so many treasures.

The Minister claims he’s listening to parents, but the facts speak for themselves. Funding for special edu staff is going down—leaving kids without the access and support they deserve—but somehow this govt can find $5 billion to spend on allowing private jets to land on Toronto’s waterfront. #onted

Are deep retrofits a good idea? We can quantify the cost of a project, the number of homes delivered, the time to delivery - but the carbon cost of demolishing instead of retrofitting isn't given a value. Until we have that, how can we decide?

"What it takes to change politics is for young people to get involved, to do the hard work, and to play their role in the system," says Oona Hathaway, citing last fall's NYC mayoral race as an example. And Philip Wallach argues Gen Z can help fix a political system that is driving Americans apart.
