Addendum: even people who revel in committing or being party to a homicide or attempt, who are gleeful in the moment, when I've talked to them years later, it haunts them. It's not universal experience. I'd never. And set of circumstances here different than what I encountered. Still.

My 11-year-old daughter said her teachers worked 9/11 into their lessons today. One of them told his 9/11 story. He was in third grade at the time.

Roger Simon died today, which is terribly sad, and also the perfect time to remember his haunting column about City News Bureau of Chicago and the worst thing reporters have to do: www.latimes.com/archives/la-...

Journalists never make stuff up. They go their entire careers and never fake a quote, plagiarize a line or invent a source. It’s a cardinal sin and they all agree anyone who does it should be banished from the profession forever. The public thinks journalists make stuff up every day.

Sometimes when your Uber driver is blasting Michael McDonald’s greatest hits at top volume and lurching forward and back while the lights rush past, you just need to sit back, put the window down, and be glad you’re here to enjoy the kaleidoscope of sensations that make up your life.

Algorithmic pricing comes to the news business — just got this renewal notice from nj.com that my $130 annual renewal cost was set personally for me. What are other people being charged?

I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane. Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

I love America because it is a place where a young couple paid a penny to cross the US-Mexico border, worked in sugar factories and the fields of California. And then, thanks to hard work, Pell Grants and community college, their great grandson could work covering politics at the White House.

🥹 Mink Rescue Alert 🫴 this little guy trapped itself in one of our Southerly effluent tanks. employees strapped a pole net together, pulled him out, and called Ohio’s DNR for guidance. he’s now recovering with another rescued mink at the Ohio Wildlife Center until they can be released together.
