Oprah Daily

In an opinion piece titled “My Lunch with President Biden” for the @nytimes , American political commentator and author Thomas L. Friedman recounts what details he can of a recent meeting with @POTUS . While he wasn’t able to disclose everything the President said during this “off-the-record lunch” at the White House, Thomas did share how unsettled the conversation left him. The article struck a nerve with @Oprah . She says, “Mr. Friedman echoes so many feelings that I have been having—some of our darkest fears—that our democracy is in trouble,” she said. So she Zoomed with the three-time Pulitzer Prize winner because he is a voice she absolutely trusts.

Keep the Father’s Day celebration going long after dad’s snoring on the couch. #MathisFamilyMatters premieres tonight at 9:30/8:30c on @eentertainment #ad

Father's Day special: If a daughter were looking for a place to explore the joys and complexities of her relationship with her 79-year-old father, Varanasi, the holy city in northern India, would not be a bad spot to land. After all, it’s said that the Buddha gave his first post-enlightenment sermon just a few miles outside of town. And if that father happened to be @raghurai.official , the single-most revered photographer in India’s history, and that daughter was 29-year-old @avani.rai , herself an emerging photographer, filmmaker, and artist, then Varanasi’s mystical setting—dark-eyed sadhus cloaked in saffron robes sit on the banks of the Ganges, thousands of tiny altars splashed with flower petals dot the side streets—would offer plenty of moments to light up their cameras. Of course, it would also provide an opportunity to, quite literally, see the different ways that parents and children look at the world. While the father has, of course, known the daughter since she took her first breath, the two have never before shared a photo assignment. And so they have traveled to Varanasi to shoot together, learn from each other, and maybe even grow a bit closer.
