Good morning!
I remind people almost every day: In a world where you can be anything, #BeKind. Thank you Brent, RegWatch, and GFN for giving me the opportunity to talk about why I feel that #Kindness is an important key in communication.

πŸ“Έ No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Familyβ€”but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today.

Why? Because respect isn’t about clothesβ€”it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit.

The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

Why I Report on Tobacco Harm Reduction Looking back, I'm struck by contradictions, surprises, hostility and a compelling difference between received wisdom and the truth.

"When received wisdom differs so starkly from the truth, it’s hard to leave that alone," reflects Kiran Sidhu. Looking back, "One of the most unexpected things I’ve encountered is a climate of fear."

But "Consumers have taught me so much." Via @filtermag.bsky.social
