Y’all know I’ll love this place to the bitter end. It’s why you know me. It’s why I have a career. It played a key role in my getting sober — thanks Dan — so, it’s totally legitimate to say that it’s why I’m alive today.

So, I’m big “laughing so I don’t cry” with all of this.
But, something that I’ve learned in the 4,527 days since I last had a drink is acceptance. Not giving up—but accepting what’s in front of me. When it comes to Twitter, yeah, it’s bleak!

I’ve also learned what to do after acceptance. It’s to do what I can next. And we will.
For as much as I might know about the law, and as much as I love the theater, countless others here have similar knowledge and the same love. We’ll find our way — here or elsewhere.

AND! There are people who know a ton about and love tech. They’ll do what they can next.

BREAKING: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has twice served as speaker, announces that she will step down from House Democratic leadership in the next Congress, as Republicans retake the House majority. She joined the House in 1987 and first became speaker in 2007. Image
Pelosi also announces that she will continue to represent her district and the people of San Francisco in the House. Image
Lots of applause for Pelosi, who has led the House Democratic caucus since 2003 — a 20-year tenure.

Notably, in her floor speech, Pelosi spoke about working with three presidents — George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden — and ignored the prior occupant completely. Image
