A perspective from Beijing.

Interesting long read.

My colleague @LaurenOLearyPR @APCOWorldwide on the imminent explosion of cannabis into the mainstream US consumer market.

For the record.

“We 9.9 percenters live in safer neighborhoods, go to better schools, have shorter commutes, receive higher-quality health care, and, when circumstances require, serve time in better prisons.”

A useful corrective. (Which I then posted to Twitter.)

Interesting review of a new biography.

The inside story.

Horrifying.

Or, as the original title puts it, “They Had It Coming”.

Horrifying.

Difficult to tell. They left out Valentina Tereshkova, who is a member of the Russian State Duma.

Nice to see my old friend @sauerka joining in!

The USA’s “entire education system is a scam, perpetrated by a few upon the many.”

“He could have risen faster if he had just been less of a dick.” It’s difficult to exaggerate how hard it is to earn a reputation as a dick in Washington.

Grimly fascinating. (Long read from The New Yorker.)

Good point.

This is a really shocking story.

LOL!

Fascinating @FT interview by @JananGanesh.

Interesting comparison from @FiveThirtyEight.

This is an extraordinary long read, about history, politics, love and life.

Hah.

@FiveThirtyEight showing that he did not in fact cost Bush senior the 1992 election.

The grim story of how school security and law enforcement failed the Parkland students and teachers.

Fascinating and horrifying.

One aspect of the extraordinary Relotius affair.
