Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.

"She hated it. She cried about it."

But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.

May she rest in peace.

What a joy to chat with Rhett Miller on WORT this morning. They say never meet your heroes, but I have met two of mine this year (Katie Drummon from WIRED as well) and both were so accommodating and committed to giving a great interview.

This week, I wrote for @theleap.bsky.social that the Packers could deliver the knockout blow to the Lions' hopes of repeating as NFC North champs.

Blow delivered.
Thanksgiving won't determine whether the Lions reach the playoffs, but their hopes of repeating as division champs will land on life support with a loss to the Packers.

For @theleap.bsky.social: Green Bay can deliver the knockout blow to Detroit.

From the MN Society for Professional Journalists: St. Paul police shot three photojournalists (MPR, Reuters, Sahan Journal) with "less lethal" munitions during an ICE operation yesterday. One had to go to the hospital. They say they were specifically targeted by St. Paul police.

And to be clear, this is how the vast majority of newsrooms in America operate. There are a few notable exceptions and they tend to be ones that employ celebrity journos.

Those people do not represent the profession and most of us are embarrassed by and for them.
Seriously everything, EVERYTHING about the RFK/Nuzzi/LIzza moment is an argument for a newsroom where you pitch stories in front of each other and editors who shield you from your own worst impulses.

Thanks to the Lizza/Nuzzi imbroglio, it's fashionable on BlueSky to once again attack journalists for the crimes of a very few.
Washington D.C. is full of hardworking, committed, excellent reporters who are publishing stories every day that make them targets of the most powerful people in the world.
