Proud to be a Jew blamed by Trump for his upcoming election loss.
Tom Cotton's defense of Trump preemptively blaming the Jews for his election loss is that he's been saying stuff like this for a long time, so what's the big deal? Good pushback from Jake Tapper here too.

According to Trump I need my head examined. That’s the pot calling the kettle black
BREAKING: Donald Trump just told any Jewish people who vote for Kamala Harris that they need to have their heads examined. Wtf?

Before Trump and Republicans lecture Jews about which party is more friendly to us, let’s look at which party actually elects Jews: 26 Jewish Members of Congress Dem: 24 GOP: 2 9 Jewish Senators Dem: 8 Ind: 1 GOP: 0 So please spare me the patronizing lectures.

Beward of @ArtkiveBox, an enormous ripoff. I am not usually, blame myself for the outrageous and inappropriate cost. Not worth half the price.

Disagree, I believe a great virtual icebreaker.
There has to be a better way to start Zoom conversations than asking, “where are you calling from”

Hey @Clear what gives? Twice in 10 days @DenverAirportW directed by your staff to instead go thru TSA cause Clear lines were too long. #fail

Love this!!
I saw a TikTok a few weeks ago that genuinely changed my life Here’s the gist: At every moment in a conversation, you always have only two choices: 1. Ask something about what they just said 2. Relate what they just said to something about yourself Doing less of option #2 in favor of #1 leads to dramatically more intimate, engaged, meaningful conversations

Too many more to list but let’s start with: “Did you bake this or is it store bought?” “Did she graduate?” “Did he get into Northwestern?” “Where is your husband?” And one of my favorites: “Are those real?”

"The Fine Art of Small Talk" by @DebraFine If you're awkward, hate small talk, or are just bad at it, this book is for you. Small talk is a valuable social skill that will help you build rapport, make new friends, and pave the way for deeper conversations.

Appreciate your thoughtful comments @adityakbora
Just read The Fine Art of Small Talk by @DebraFine Pretty practical book with a lot of pointers that can actually be applied in small talk. I feel like we as a society utilize small talk way less than what we did in the past, however, it is the core skill in connecting with people

Coloradans know that the security lines at @DENAirport (nation’s 3rd busiest) are rough and getting worse. Joined with members of Colorado’s congressional delegation on a letter asking @TSA for transparency and solutions.
