Farewell to my Twitter verification! I worked hard to earn it and gave plenty to this platform over the years, especially during my time creating content and leading strategy for @nytimes Twitter presence. But I am not on board with pay to play.
Dear @latimes — have you thought about taking down your paywall on your coverage of the fire crisis?
The most clear-headed post of the fire emergency so far.
Is there a way I can sample a clip of Walz saying “There’ll be time to sleep when you’re dead” to use as my alarm clock tone?
Wow, @ellievhall @NiemanLab with the motherlode of expert, carefully reported and contextualized info on how the royal family is covered by the media and what’s gone down since late 2023.
Over the past week, a LOT of people have been asking me when I was going to write something about Kate Middleton's "disappearance."
I talked to @NiemanLab about the princess, the palace, and the press — and laid out a timeline of the entire saga. niemanlab.org/2024/03/this-i…

This is a master class from @mattfleg in how to write a story like this. No snark. No gratuitous comments. No need. Just step aside and let them talk. And talk. via @NYTimes nytimes.com/2023/07/05/nyreg…

My prayer for US political journalism: Stop trying to predict election outcomes. Stop treating polling like science. Center the voices of voters. And focus on policy proposals and policy outcomes—not the horserace. #electionday
“The most straightforward and revolutionary solution” for getting formerly incarcerated people firmly back on their feet and helping to ease labor shortages. Very proud of @samjschaeffer and @ceoworks for this profile of their powerful work nytimes.com/2022/07/07/busin…

Hard to overstate how little respect Trump and his circle had for the United States of America, its laws and traditions.
This is inconvenient. Sorry for anyone needing tampons, but consider: people in the U.S. use more than 7 billion tampons/year, most ending up in landfill. There are more sustainable, less expensive options. Good moment to explore those?
Yes, there’s a tampon shortage. Here’s why. wapo.st/3MI2XAE
We are in crisis. @SenSchumer, why has Canada reacted more swiftly than we have? Americans’ faith in Congress is hanging in the balance.
Heartbreak on top of heartbreak. @SylvesterTurner, David Mincberg, Luther Villagomez, @Marriott — and so many other individuals and companies who lacked the courage and conscience to say “not this weekend in Texas,” shame on you.

Thank you, @lexim. Inspired by your words and actions, I decided to make my own voice heard. And encourage you, friends, to do the same. If you need any suggested language, please feel free to take from my email.
Thank you, @SylvesterTurner for acknowledging our campaign to disrupt the NRA event. To be clear: the campaign to cancel is about decency and respect for Texans and Americans who are in pain. It is not about politics, policies, money and contracts. This is a bad look for Houston.
Horrible. Call or email the COO of the Houston Convention Center, Luther Villagomez, and ask him to cancel the NRA’s event contract for this weekend: Luther.Villagomez@houstonfirst.com 832-330-7786
Thank you to @TheCut for sharing my tweet and compiling these action items. You can also try emailing the GM of @Marriott, which is providing lodging for NRA conference attendees this weekend: hans.prins@marriott.com thecut.com/2022/05/how-to-he…
You wrote *hundreds* of emails to the Houston convention center’s board chairman in the last 24 hours. 👏🏻 Now let’s tell Hans Prins, GM of @Marriott, that he should cancel his company’s participation in the NRA event this weekend: hans.prins@marriott.com
