Help! Our nonprofit is a Google prisoner!

We have a Google Ads grants account, but can’t access it. I’ve been through their reclamation process, but it doesn’t work. No help, no option for help.

If you have guidance on how to connect in this circumstance, by any means, please DM me!

It snowed. It’s not like there’s a violent mob outside beating up cops who are desperately trying to protect members of Congress inside.

Jimmy Carter leaves the Southern Baptist Convention in 2009: “Women and girls have been discriminated against for too long in a twisted interpretation of the Word of God.” He continues to teach his regular Sunday School class in Plains, Ga.

Sometimes, you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. But not with Dennis Overbye, who’s retiring from the Times. I’ve long been grateful for his combination of universe knowledge and ability to express beautifully. His valediction:

For his next trick, your cosmic correspondent for the past quarter-century will (try to) retire.

Trump doesn't joke. He tests. When he raises a bonkers idea like annexing Canada, he’s exploring the contours of what the American public will tolerate. Because he fully intends to take things as far as we’ll let him.

Andrew, your point is very good. It’s revolting.

However.

It was American voters who “normalized” the winning candidate. One job of “corporate media” role is to cover American politics.

The asshole is now the president-elect. Deal with it.
Whenever the corporate media tries to normalize Donald Trump, remember that he nominated someone who he knew was accused of raping children to lead our justice department. There is no low he won’t sink to.

Who does paid workshops for universities about PhD dissertation writing, for a US STEM audience?

This is not my area and I'd love your recommendations, including self-recommendations!

Note to nonprofits: It is rude when the next thing you do after receiving a gift is to ask for another one.

Sending that “Thank you, sir, may I have another” just means I’m less likely to give to you the next time.

PS, I chair a nonprofit.
