This week feels like America is Whoville, and we are at the point in the story where we wake up to what’s really important and have all just gathered together to sing. But in this version, the Grinch is Orange, and his heart stays 3 sizes too small.

Why is the @tbs broadcast about 30 secs behind the livestream on the @MarchMadnessMBB app?

Let’s celebrate this vindication for midwesterners. Wanna go with?
It is permissible in English for a preposition to be what you end a sentence with. The idea that it should be avoided came from writers who were trying to align the language with Latin, but there is no reason to suggest ending a sentence with a preposition is wrong.

Fantastic to see @CEOatNKF in the Oval with @POTUS to witness signing of legislation on behalf of kidney patients. Me? Honored to be a partner on the journey.
Thank you @insider_ct for highlighting the journey of @CEOatNKF from being a kidney transplant recipient to attending a historic signing ceremony in the Oval Office. ctinsider.com/news/article/g…

What a fabulous legacy @Peculiar has left behind in the wildly inventive and endearingly captivating Bryant & May series. My condolences to his loved ones.

We should all be so lucky holding hands at the very end.
My fave #jimmycarter trivia: How old was Jimmy's wife Rosalynn when he first met her? Answer: She was about ten minutes old. Jimmy's mother, a midwife, delivered her while 3-year old Jimmy waited in the next room. He was then invited in to meet her - his future sweetheart. 😊

Ugh. Not summer (or any season) lovin’ the Travolta @TMobile ad. Maybe wait at least a year from her passing to trash your iconic duet? #SuperBowl

Totally accurate homage to my favorite sandwich, the Chicago Italian Beef, but no words truer than these: “[Chicagoans] will look at you like you’ve befouled the carpet if you claim Chicago while being from one of the suburbs. It may as well be Iowa.”

Perfect alignment as future Sen. Stewart, having pushed new health benefits through Congress, hugs wife of vet exposed to toxins in Iraq. JS really more advocate & policy wonk than anything else, comedian moniker right now even pulling for Zelensky comparison. 📷 @drewangerer
Only 7 minutes in and missing the @NBAonTNT crew already. #BOSvsMIA
Even 18 years later, I vividly recall the thunderbolt of emotions when we got the “we have a kidney for you” call that changed everything. Profoundly grateful to the selfless donor family, great MDs/RNs, and a supportive community. Happy kidneyversary, @CEOatNKF ❤️ #NKF
