This👇🏼 Every damn day.
Any journalist who has not at least once committed reckless disregard of leadership is not to be trusted.

Proud of this collab between @laist.com and the USC Open-Source Intelligence Reporting Lab

There is a certain kind of person who takes pride in not being good with tech, as if that makes them better at other things, when it's also possible they just suck at a lot of things

The crazy thing about the “Kavanaugh stops” decision is he didn’t have to attach his name to it at all. Nobody else in the majority wrote anything. Nobody had to write anything. But he was all like, “Hold my beer.”

MFA programs really killed the style of writing that basically went “Let me tell you my theory of friendship. [10,000 words that include references to Plato, Charlemagne and Ulysses S Grant] Paul was that kind of friend.”
Now it’s all “Paul handed me a beer. He knew I needed it.”
