Receiving this "Dear Valued AT&T Customer" email reduced my trust and opinion of AT&T. It would have been better if they had never sent it.

A good apology takes “…clear and direct responsibility for specifically what we've said and done, or not said and done, without a hint of evasion, blaming, obfuscation or excuse-making.” Harriet Lerner <on the CBC Day 6 radio show, episode 455 - August 2019>

I don't hear that from Hokkaido University.

🤦‍♂️ Ah, #Mullvad and #Berntsson, masters of the "clean up", who managed to make a long-form #apology sound like an #IKEA instruction manual for moral ambiguity. Their idea of neutrality is apparently supporting "everyone"—as long as "everyone" doesn't include basic human decency. Bravo! 👏

🎉 Breaking News: #CEO apologizes for saying something monumentally stupid. 🙄 Clearly, the cutting-edge strategy of insulting your customers as "terrorists" required a swift PR U-turn. 🤦‍♂️ Keep an eye out for the next apology: "Sorry for the #apology." 🚀

Dad found out his son bullied a kid at school and came up with a brilliant teaching moment

History’s first US-born pope, whose family history includes both enslaved people & slave owners, delivered the apology in his first encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas,” (Magnificent Humanity), which was released Monday.

#PopeLeo #apology #slavery #Vatican

#PopeLeo XIV made a historic #apology Monday for the role the Holy See played in #slavery & for having failed to condemn it for centuries, calling the #Vatican’s record a “wound in Christian memory.”

Past popes have apologized for Christians’ involvement in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. But no pope had ever publicly acknowledged, much less apologized for, the role that past popes played in giving European sovereigns explicit authority to subjugate & enslave “infidels.”
