Paul Rudnick: "Rep. Elise Stefanik wants to 'defund Harvard' because when she attended:
- No one would room with her.
- The dorm monitor asked her to stop leaving empty take-out containers in the hall.
- No one sang #Popular to her.
- Her professors always sighed before calling on her."

Never have and never will believe in "#popular #kids". All that is is a #slur against the ones who put effort into #socializing from the ones that don't. I grew up and kept to myself most of the time, but my #friend group had its tentacles in every #clique. If you shared my interests, mainly #videogames and #basketball, I was ready to mingle. I wasn't vindictive or jealous of my peers that had made more connections. That's just sad.

"Come Softly to Me" is a #popular #song recorded by #TheFleetwoods, composed of Gretchen Christopher, Barbara Ellis, and Gary Troxel, who also wrote it. The original title was "Come Softly", but was changed en route to its becoming a hit. Bob Reisdorf, the owner of Dolphin Records, which in 1960 changed to Dolton Records, was responsible for the title change. He thought that "Come Softly" might be too obvious and considered risqué.
