@jschwabish My copy came today and immediately spent an hour flipping through it. I’m a comms guy at an organization full of engineers and economists, and this book will be so helpful in my efforts to make their work accessible. Bravo.

@samhudzik @nepublicmedia Very sorry to see this, @samhudzik. This is a real loss for Western Mass. I’ve always admired your team’s work.

@DHTheWeatherNut I was backpacking in Central Mass. last night. Changed into my winter hiking boots last minute when I left the house. Still, surprised at what I woke up to!

As promised, here are Ten New Year’s Resolutions for Editors. They're resolutions you really can keep.

Resolution for Editors No. 1: To read every word of a draft before making changes. (Yes, this is hard. But if time permits, a good practice.)

Far from the last word about the music industry's issues, but here's one from me about the chaos of trying to tour in our messed-up, ultra-expensive COVID economy.

This is an important article about how our chart-type choices can perpetuate stereotypes.

1/6 A slender thread on a recent experience: my wife and I were walking our dog when we heard a man across the street yell for help. We went over. He was slumped in a wheelchair. He was repeating, "Help me, help me." We asked how. He repeated his cry. It was late and cold.
