Editor, @NashvilleBanner. Dog lover. All things being equal, I'd rather be at St. James or Camp Nou.

Sam Darnold threw for 300+ yards three times this season

Dilfer did so five times IN HIS ENTIRE CAREER
I see some of you comparing Sam Darnold to Trent Dilfer and I'm just not gonna stand for it

Before The Washington Post layoffs came down, a group of wealthy D.C. locals approached CEO Will Lewis with a proposal.

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.

DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.
EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.

Gotta admit, pretty damned cool that the Italians were able to get the Spacing Guild dudes from Dune to lead the athletes into the stadium

Absolutely compelling thread. Worth your time.
Today I was walking back from an errand when I woman flagged me down and pointed at a cat laying at her feet. A black tuxie, very skinny and very much worse for wear. “I would take him but he won’t let me pick him up,” she said. “Really?” I said, and cradled my sweatshirt around him. /1

As part of their commitment to "keeping print strong," they have laid off 80 percent of a world-class (literally, they have the awards to prove it) design staff as well as all of their photographers.

Pretty bad look when you're lying to your highest paying customers right out of the gate.
The Washington Post ran a full-page letter to subscribers in today's print edition from exec editor Matt Murray stating that it is committed to sports and local coverage after laying off the vast majority of the staff on those desks

A complete and utter embarassment.
I don't see how Will Lewis can effectively lead WaPo.

Lewis did not save Bezos from himself on opinion pages. (375K+ cancelations) His innovations did not stem enough red ink.

And he has not taken any ownership of the devastating ensuing cuts. He's making Murray own it alone.

With the Post effectively abdicating its local news role, I would encourage anyone wanting to support local news in DC to support @51st.news and my old colleagues at @wcp.bsky.social.

There is so much reporting needed in that city. Support them. Grow them.

Some of the best sports design ever done was at the Post
I don't think people realize just how titanic the Post Sports section really was, how much talent was assembled there. And it wasn't just the marquee names, they had fantastic editors, the best photographers, longtime desk hands who could spin gold when needed.
