I keep waiting for @AndrewYang to get his long overdue props for calling it early on the robots…

I think this is exactly where Chapek gets it wrong. Disney didn't succeed by "catering" to its audience. It succeeded by delighting its audience with what it didn't even know could exist. A full-length lavishly animated movie in 1937. An elaborately immersive theme park in 1955.

Hearing @lizzo play some of the Library's priceless antique instruments on Monday was such a gift, and we were honored and happy to help her share that gift with her concert audience Tuesday night. Here is some more behind-the-scenes footage of her Library tour. #LizzoAtLOC

Republicans tried to stop an investigation into the armed insurrection at the Capitol because they were afraid of hearing the devastating truth from people like Officer Michael Fanone. This is not about politics – this is about protecting our democracy.

It’s probably already out there. But how long until the Biden + wuhan lab / China cabal to take down MAGA conspiracy REALLY gains traction...5...4...3...2...

You are oh so proud for getting your 4 year old boy to swim lessons on Sunday, he’s in the pool and excited to crush it...and then you spot the big crusty smear of chocolate ice cream on his cheek. From last night. That you knew about - and failed to clean off. #askbadpapa

If you watched the Mars landing today, the voice you heard was @DrSwatiMohan. She immigrated to the US from India at age 1, was inspired by Star Trek at 9, then earned a B.S from Cornell in mechanical and aerospace engineering, and an M.S. and Ph.D from MIT in aeronautics.

Call me old-fashioned but I don't think a president who incites a coup against the U.S. government deserves a $200,000 pension for the rest of his life, along with a million-dollar travel budget, all financed by U.S. taxpayers. Just sayin.

Devastating. Heidi and I are lifting up in prayer the family of the U.S. Capitol Police officer who tragically lost his life keeping us safe. He was a true hero. Yesterday's terrorist attack was a horrific assault on our democracy. Every terrorist needs to be fully prosecuted.

Clarification: This is a family I know socially, not professionally and they gave permission to share their story in an attempt to "tell everyone to be smarter than we were." And I am grateful they did.
