The next time you want to give in, give up, ignore other people's needs, gang up on someone weaker, talk behind someone's back, etc. just ask yourself: #WWDD? What would Dolly do? Farewell, m'lady, you will be greatly missed.

Congrats to Andrew Smiler on the publication of his APA Book CLINICAL WORK WITH MEN: UNDERSTANDING MASCULINITY IN PSYCHOTHERAPY. www.apa.org/pubs/books/c... Here, he presents this important work at the recent American Psychological Association meeting.

Brunson effectively gave up $113 million after signing a contract extension in 2024.

Stephen Colbert's finale proved it once again... there's nothing that Paul McCartney can't do. Great way for Late Night to go out. #colbertfinale

Federal prosecutors say former FBI Director James Comey's use of the term “86” on Instagram was a threat “to do harm" to President Trump — but some food service workers say the term is "everyday lingo" to them.

A nice plus for a book I acquired for APA Books, written by one of my favorite authors. Congrats, Gord Flett!

"This important book brings a focus to mattering in its own right, offering much needed solutions. It aims to instill a sense of mattering in people of all ages, especially young people."--British Journal of Educational Studies www.apa.org/pubs/books/m...

Very sad that Sonny has passed. Also sad and ironic that he outlived the Washington Post sports section. I will miss both

Interesting and important installment of Oprah's podcast. My APA author Gord Flett ( www.apa.org/.../matterin.... ) appears from the 15-minute to 20-minute mark. www.youtube.com/watch?v=co-C...

Strong review of PARENTING WITH TEMPERAMENT IN MIND from Doody's. Proud to have acquired this book. "Through its strong advice, applicable exercises, and focus on supporting both parents and children, the book fulfills its objective and serves as a helpful guide for well-rounded parenting."

Worth repeating, and appreciating every day: "More than 100 of North America’s top universities clearly believe that an energetic, outward-facing publishing program is a tremendous asset to, indeed a responsibility of, any university."

Redford’s death hits hard because he was a warrior for absolute integrity in storytelling. News agencies everywhere should pay attention. When he produced “All the President’s Men” the script had a different final scene with Nixon defiantly waving from the helicopter. Redford wasn’t having it:

Let us mourn the passing of a man who made the world better, not much worse.

PSYCHOLOIGISTS: As Senior Acquisitions Editor with APA Books, I am prepping for this year's national #APA2025 conference. If you will be in Denver and would like to discuss a book idea, let me know and I'll set up a brief meeting. We'll be looking for you in the Mile High City. CHRIS KELAHER

They did it. 20 years in, the Nationals finally wore a jersey + hat combo that says "Washington DC." A remarkable day in uni history. @toddradom.bsky.social @sportslogos.net

God: "Alright, my friend. It is time to come with me." Pope: "Wait! I have something I need to say to this one American guy and then I promise I'll join you." God: "As you wish, but I'm only giving you until Easter to do it." Pope: "You got it, Boss."

Canada has never been more united

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator. And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

The Department of Government Efficiency isn't interested in efficiency. Or transparency, or cutting costs. It's real goal is to destroy the federal civil service. In other words, regime change. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

YO this is the energy we need! watcha think @dahlialithwick.bsky.social and @stevevladeck.bsky.social ?!

Democrats who want to be relevant and have a future with the party, look at AOC, Jamie Raskin, Jasmine Crockett, Senators Van Hollen and even Murphy right now. They're the ones calling it out, refusing to bend the knee, and reflecting the righteous anger of America against the broligarchy.

Especially these next 4 years we gotta keep reminding our LGBTQIA+ peeps that they are loved and welcomed here.

Tech oligarchs were a notable presence at the inauguration ceremony. Thanks to Citizens United, we have a political system dominated by ultra-wealthy individuals to a degree never before seen in American politics — a cash-for-access economy. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Entertainers showing up for Donald Trump's inauguration include: Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, Kid Rock, Lee Greenwood, Christopher Macchio, the Village People, Billy Ray Cyrus, Rascal Flatts and the Liberty University Praise Choir (singing for a criminal adulterer, liar & adjudicated rapist). 🤣🤣
