Willie’s new record nails a dozen baller tunes by my brother-from-another-mother, Rodney Crowell. Y’all need this one, and I get zero kickback. Paradise. Willie Nelson


What’s a bigger hoot than winning a #PulitzerPrize in commentary in biggest dang mag around, The The New Yorker? Having a young poet you love do it. Former student #MosabAbuToha taught me way more about the lit’rachur’s consoling power during a bloody catastrophe than I ever taught


One of the most passionate & level-headed reporters from Gaza lists the four #memoir pieces for which he won the #PultizerPrize this week—all worth reading. Blessings on you, Mosab Abu Toha & all the family, friends, & students you’ve lost. You call for permanent peace, & I answer

Humble, that’s the word I keep hearing about #PopeLeoXIV. With that creole name, he’s got Afro-Carribean roots. And his work in Peru & passion for the lifting up the poor & ordinary give me hope too. Here’s my Jesuit homeboy James Martin, SJ from Rome. ❤️🙏🏻


To celebrate Mosab Abu Toha’s new #Pulitzer, the stars came out—left to right: himself & wife Maram, Judith Thurman, unnamed filmmaker, and me. Many hoots were had.





So I proved myself a superstitious #Knicks fan when I changed a pwd to KnicksInSix, and they won. Don’t doubt I’ll be popcorned up & wearing a jersey tomorrow night. NEW YORK KNICKS
