7 years ago, I got a letter from a prisoner doing life for a murder he insists he didn't commit. Now I finally get to tell Quincy's story, for Popular Mechanics--published last month, but paywall just lifted. Thanks @mdallyn for the editorial TLC. popularmechanics.com/science…
Just had the delight of reading this gem in print. It’s scary, humbling and mysterious and man does it sing.
Last week, @BernieKosarQB told @ClevelandMag that he faces liver disease, a transplant and Parkinson’s.
In this month’s cover story, we explore his condition, holistic treatments, and his longtime battles with physical and mental health. clevelandmagazine.com/health…
My man DW, dean of oral history. Sure to be a great read!

Spent 7 months exploring Cuyahoga County juvenile justice system by chatting with youthful offenders now in adult prison. Part 1 of 6-part series out now. @njKaitlinDurbin was truest of partners; her journo chops left me in awe cleveland.com/news/2024/05/d…

Yesterday, after 23 years behind bars for murder, Quincy Amerson was exonerated and walked free. I learned of his innocence claims in 2015; seven years later, I told his story in @PopMech, showing the perils of shoddy accident reconstruction. law.duke.edu/news/quincy-mar…
Congrats to @DukeInnocence for their relentless work. I'm pulling for you, Quincy.
"While Cuyahoga County doesn’t have reentry workers in the jail, it does operate an Office of Reentry...Their work is seemingly anonymous...(Sheriff) Pretel said he was unaware the county operated the reentry office." Superb reporting by Puente.
1. NEW: Cuyahoga County lags behind several other big jails in providing reentry services to to those released.
A former top jail official raised alarms and was asked to resign--w/o explanation. A few key takeaways in this thread:

Love the chance to follow up on the original, stalwart reporting of the great @RachelDissell cleveland.com/crime/2023/09/…
This majestic epic by @Nickoloffoff is the best piece on the East Palestine disaster I’ve read. Masterful reporting and storytelling captures perfectly the bleeding heart of an American village. A poetic feat.
“It's all on fire.”
A train derailment. A chemical spill. A fire.
A perfect storm of a disaster landed in a Northeast Ohio village this past February, and ever since, residents have been forced to reckon with potential ecological, economic and health threats — and an unwavering spotlight over their neighborhoods.
Head to East Palestine, Ohio: the July cover story of Cleveland Magazine.

It was fun chatting with @abcnewsstudios about a 2019 piece I wrote for @BostonMagazine on the Kim Kardashian of steroids. The @hulu docuseries #AgeOfInfluence drops this week, examining the dark side of influencer culture. See me talking 'roids on episode 4. Should be juicy.

If you read one thing today, please make it this. It is achingly beautiful, but @Billy_K_Ball has rarely written anything that doesn't rattle the human heart. Through his words, we are somehow able to feel the unfathomable. 🙏 theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

The @ThePlainDealer reporter John Tucker takes a deep dive into the case of OIP's most recent exoneree -- Aaron Culbertson of #Canton, who was freed on Dec. 14. The way he documents how Aaron ended up being caught in the wheels of justice is a must-read. cleveland.com/news/2022/12/a…
A smart take to address immigration and inflation together.

Only 20m into the September @ClevelandOPS meeting, and the first complaint brought against Officer Michael Glick Andrea Atkins is a heavy one.
Solid report just dropped from @JohnHTucker5 on the whole incident.
