They’re not bottlers. They’re not weak. They’re a young team, early in their development, doing brilliant things. Every fan wants to support a team like this. Hard to remember when the pressure is on, but have to enjoy it. This is a season we’ll talk about for a long long time.

Huge result tonight. Big points. Big step. I don’t know how this season ends - I’m sure there are twists and turns to come - we might fall short. But personally, I’m bought in. I want to see where this goes. I love this group. ❤️

Setback, bounce-back. Strongly suspect that will continue to be the way with this Arsenal team this season. And personally I think that’s inevitable, perhaps even understandable, and may still be enough to get them a top six finish. They really needed that one, mind.

So absolutely gutted for him. A massive part of their success. To put that much pressure on a 19 year old is just so so cruel. Completely echo this article.

A very, very happy pub day to my Dad, @RobynGigl, who's fantastic debut novel BY WAY OF SORROW hits shelves today (bit.ly/3ruTCBC). I don't say this often enough, but she's an absolutely extraordinary person, so much so that I'm having a hard time trying 1/

Legal Thrillers that not only in my sorta-biased-but-still-fairly-objective opinion embody the #OwnVoices movement, but are just damn good books. So it's sort of like a superhero at day and at night? I'm not sure how that works. As someone who's peaked behind 3/

the curtain, so to speak, I know the amount of work she's put into BWoS and I couldn't be happier that her day has finally come. So congrats @RobynGigl — it's completely deserved, and I am so thrilled the rest of the world gets to finally meet Erin McCabe. 4/4
Speaking personally, this article is a.) pretty much the best articulation of how I've felt the past year and b.) an important reminder that yes, we're all human
I wrote an op-ed today about the way I will always remember this past year -- a time of too many decisions, not enough help, and fraying ends. fivethirtyeight.com/features…

Such a cool idea!

You know, I didn't watch this when it happened. And man... sometimes it takes being in a completely different place to realize what's been missing.

Not at all. Very reassuring, Nate. 32 known, documented reinfection by genomics worldwide now out of > 40 million confirmed cases There may be more but appears to be *exceedingly rare* to date, like ~1 in a million
This is another reason why people need to think carefully when writing about the chance that Trump will steal the election. IMO, there is a legitimate threat. However, the threat itself can be used to create ambiguity and sew doubt about the outcome, and possibly reduce turnout.
Lots of polling shows that Democrats are less likely to vote if they believe Trump is just going to steal the election. Trump's people have no doubt seen that polling too, which might be motivating Trump to be so honest about stealing the election. Win-win, so to speak.
