Paging the @sickoscommittee.org: I'm at a high school game that started with a team receiving the opening kickoff, driving the entire 12-minute first quarter, and getting stopped on fourth and short inside the red zone after 13:20 with the ball.

Barack Obama offered to buy me a Sno-cone when I was in the press pool for a campaign event in 2012.
And by me, I mean all the photographers, but I happened to be in the front of the group at that moment.

One of the rare instances where I've been to the town. The pictures don't really do the scenery there justice. It's a pretty area.

I'm not sure if I should be more honored that my book was once above "50 Shades of Grey" on the rack at the store or that people thought it was good enough to steal to use for training AI.
But I sure haven't received any royalty payments for this, despite how hard I worked to write my book.

Meta used at least 16 of my books, and numerous articles, to help train the AI it will use to make billions.

This map is such a train wreck that I can't look away.
Can we at least flip the Midwest and Great Lakes names, then figure out whatever Kansas is? Pretty sure the Jayhawks beat the Longhorns in football to not be claimed as part of Texas.

You know you're getting old when your microphone dies during a work Zoom meeting, so you steal the headset your kids use to play Xbox to finish the call.

Turned on the Ohio vs. Jacksonville State bowl game when I got home, and the third quarter has been a @sickoscommittee.org dream. In a few minutes, we had a shanked punt, a lost accidental direct snap fumble, another lost fumble on the next play, and now a pick.

When we continue to devalue quality local journalism for free slop, this is what can happen. Even outside of Oregon, this is a critically important read.
Last month, I fell down an absolutely bizarre rabbit hole trying to figure out who was ripping off articles from Oregon journalists.
What I found was identity theft, plagiarism and an absolutely terrifying future for local journalism led by AI scammers.

Good morning from the Casey's near my work, where the staff was blaring "Best Day Ever" by SpongeBob as the guy in front of me bought six hard Monsters shortly after 8 a.m.

I accidentally got dragged into Gamer Gate one night ... because there were apparently two journalists named Schreier, and the other one wrote for Kotaku.
I have a game. What were you "known" for on Twitter?
I'll go first. I'm the woman who caused Dave Ramsey to mass-block Royals Twitter.
