Journalist, listener, news sharer. I founded and I'm always trying to figure out where people will be looking for news next year.

@garywhite13 Only Siri or Alexa know how they really feel.

@stephenrobles Definitely! You, too! I’m love-blogging up a storm (pun sort of intended): https://t.co/sqfNncJmTb

[Barry Friedman @BIF]

@garywhite13 “I’m going to “Sun ’n Fun.”
“Where It’s At”
“Um, at Sun ’n Fun.”
“I know. Where It’s At.”
“Y’know. The airport. That’s where it’s at.”

Let me be the 999,999th person to note how much more work I’m getting done with FB and IG offline.

[Barry Friedman @BIF]

@LLDustin_Wyatt What? Is Brian Burns back?

[Barry Friedman @BIF]

A Lakeland media site (not one I’ve worked for) gets mentioned here — and not in a good way. https://t.co/CsP7S8XKFg

@lauradavis Polk County = magnet for sad news and weird news.

@garywhite13 Asking for a friend: How did they count people who did neither?

[Barry Friedman @BIF]

@theledger No, they’ll likely decide In two weeks. Monday is first reading, which means the city attorney will read the title of the ordinances but there will be no discussion or vote.

Glad to see @mylkldelectric is offering rebates on a wide range of electric vehicles. When I got my Chevy Volt, only the Nissan Leaf was eligible for a rebate.
