James Wood was a 10-year-old living in Olney, MD when Jayson Werth homered off Lance Lynn to win Game 4 of the 2012 NLDS. Twelve years later, he just homered off Lynn in the same ballpark.

New: Major liberal donors put up millions to support the purchase of dozens of newspapers across Maine. And the Federalist Society's Leonard Leo is backing a digital news site called the Maine Wire. My piece on the battle for Maine's news landscape: semafor.com/article/09/17/20…

Media’s political divide plays out in Maine

Local media in the state of Maine has emerged as an unlikely and asymmetric battlefield for big American political money.

It was on August 16, 1956 that "Ella and Louis" was recorded! Yes, the ENTIRE album--11 songs--was done in a single session but that's what happens when you gather pros like Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown and Buddy Rich. A masterpiece!

A "Banned Book Club" that meets monthly for 8th through 12th graders in Orono, Maine, has been started by librarian Lindsay Varnum at the Orono Public Library. They read & discuss books being challenged & banned around USA. I think it's a great idea. bangordailynews.com/2023/06/…

Don’t be dissuaded by this false and clickbait headline! @MichaelSocolow does a good job of elevating the nuanced considerations necessary to cover Trump without doing his bidding — would that CNN cared enough to be this savvy. slate.com/business/2023/05/d…

You’re Interviewing Trump. He’s Lying Through His Teeth. Here’s What to Do.

There’s the right way to interrogate the former president—and there’s what CNN did.

I’ve been working with and listening to @TBowmanNPR and @GPublic cover wars and other news for more years than I’d care to say. This podcast on a friendly fire incident in Iraq—and the cover-up—is just plain one of the best things they’ve ever done. @NPR npr.org/podcasts/510368/taki…
