Had a good run as a reporter for Lebanon (PA) Daily News until a hedge fund killed it; now sub-teacher at a votech; Philly sports (Arsenal, tennis, cycling too), music (jam bands), pets & politics as mood strikes.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

I think it should be a mandatory job requirement that the chair of the DNC be social media savvy with a strong presence on camera.

Ken Martin doesn’t have those skills and doesn’t seem to want to invest in fixing that.

EVERY special election should be all over social media. It is a massive

The Kyiv Independent keeps reporting from Ukraine freely, without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise — thanks to our community. Now, we’re aiming for 25,000 members before 2025 ends to strengthen our newsroom and expand coverage where it’s needed most.
