Hello, a moment for earnestness this holiday season:
It was miraculous when we scraped together enough money to launch a newsroom 16 months ago. I had a clear vision of what @thebarbedwire.com could be, but it required a lot of things to go right. Many did not!

The Cracker Barrel thing was THIS YEAR. We have three more years of this shit. Anybody who makes it to 2028 without looking like Nosferatu will be required by the state to start a skincare brand.

I’m not gonna watch the CECOT segment because I know it’s going to be horrific and I’m already horrified every moment of every day but I’m very glad it’s out there, it’s important that it’s out there, and it’s gonna hold CBS accountable for any changes they make to it and that’s a very good thing.

every crisis we talk about nationally - policing, housing, public health, environmental harm - shows up first at the local level, and the only reason the public ever learns about many of these issues is because a local journalist put in the hours. it is an actual survival tool for all of us.

Got the furnace serviced today and the guy asked about carbon monoxide detectors so it’s a good day to share my favorite reason for ensuring your CO detectors are fully functional as the winter approaches:
Carbon monoxide is never funny, but one of my best friend’s CO alarm went off at about 11pm after a particularly cold OU-Texas weekend Saturday.
They had had their roof replaced and the vent of their HVAC was not reconnected to the outside air so when the heater kicked on CO just flooded the attic
