Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgment. Today's announcement is deeply saddening for us. We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country. @roryekennedy @joekennedy @KKT_Kennedy

This headline's implied causality is a call for violence. Someone call the ADL, the Southern Poverty Law Center, etc. to make sure the @nypost is on their list of hate groups.

.@duodickinson wrote a terrific article about how Adaptive Reuse is the Architectural Challenge of the Future commonedge.org/adaptive-reus… My only problem with it is the title; it is the challenge of the present. My take: treehugger.com/adaptive-reus…

I’d like to see @paulgoldberger review Bob Stern’s memoir. He started at the @nytimes around the time Bob’s career was taking off. They swam through the same currents. My mini-memoir comes out Monday in @CommEdgeCollab, with some details not in the book. bookshop.org/books/between-m…

Another exquisite obituary by ⁦@AlexVadukul⁩, continuing the @nytimes run of moving pieces about people you didn’t know existed. And how lovely that it ran today, on what would have been her 72nd birthday. nytimes.com/2021/10/05/arts/…

Terrific column by @WalterIsaacson on why we should continue to honor Ben Franklin. My favorite part: Franklin kept a list of all of the mistakes he made in life and took steps to atone for them. In his case, initial support for slavery was a *big* one: theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/…

Walter Isaacson: Benjamin Franklin's name should stay on Orleans school facilities. Here's why.

In 1787, Benjamin Franklin became the president of Pennsylvania’s Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery. He threw himself into the task, drawing up plans for providing employment for freed
