In a city of 8 million, every person you pass on a park bench contains a hidden opera. I recently dug into one of those New York stories, and what I learned stunned me. Thread below -- and story here: nyti.ms/3yU41xz

Here we go!
Welcome to The Run Up! In our first episode, we talked to voters about the fragile state of democracy. And this time, it's abt more than Joe Biden or Donald Trump or any individual. It's the political system itself. nytimes.com/2022/09/06/podca…

Compassionate, surprising and nuanced episode of The Daily today. Made by the singular ⁦@lynsea⁩. So well done.

I can't shake this story. Love how @samdolnick just writes through the messiness of life (and beautifully) and doesn't shy away from exposing the rough edges we all have -- it makes the friendship between these two men emerge so powerfully. nytimes.com/2022/07/08/nyreg…

In my story about Chinatown, the McDonald's fish sandwich figured prominently. It turns out to be a very resonant sandwich! Here's a lovely ode to the meal from Jane Hu in @NYTmag nytimes.com/2021/04/20/magaz…

A titan. RIP.
RIP Francis X. Clines, a @nytimes reporter, columnist and foreign correspondent who was one of the greatest of his generation. Young reporters, including me, worshipped Frank. We all hoped that one day, our writing could be half as good as his was. nyti.ms/3c2cZQr

A world opened up, filled with secrets, shame and desperation. What stood out most, though, was Mo and Tin's friendship. News doesn't often focus on friendship. But it matters a lot. The pandemic highlighted that for many people, and the response to the story underscores that.

Mo and Tin's friendship raises questions about redemption. Can a friendship make up for your worst mistakes? I think about that a lot. I think about Mo and Tin a lot. Here's my story. Linger on the photos by @Anrizzy, too. nyti.ms/3yU41xz
