Ten years ago today, a Theranos employee went to Reddit for help. He didn't name the company, but it was all basically right there in the post.

I wonder what secrets are being shared by anonymous accounts today that we will only understand in 2032.

86% of Black students take out federal student loans to pay for college — that's nearly 20 percentage points higher than white students. With a stroke of his pen, @POTUS can #CancelStudentDebt and help close the racial wealth gap.

They list ~10 variations of my name and offer no way to eliminate the bogus names.

This is just to say: today is my last day at the @PhillyInquirer. Next week I'm starting a new career in media strategy/comms. I'm excited, but it's still sinking in! I've spent 20 years in newspapers, almost 14 of those here at my hometown paper. I'm so lucky. I'm so grateful.
