.@julielasson, on collaborating with subject-matter experts and not necessarily needing to be one yourself: "The role of the speechwriter is to work with the people around you to make sure you're getting it right." #psaworldconference

[Julie Lasson @JulieLasson]

Felt great to take the stage myself for a change, greater to do it with these fabulous speechwriting colleagues.

[PSA Podium @psapodium]

All-star panel this morning! @ESchnure, @jreische, @justthis1thing, #IsabelleGaudeulEhrhart, @speechwritersc's Michael Franklin, and @JulieLasson talk pandemic writing, job realities, and the facets of exec comms to start off Day 2 of #psaworldconference.

Yes I broke a far too lengthy Twitter silence for this important message.

I will not rest until I see a @onepeloton x @MBC_Official_ Artist Series.

@ChavieLieber @BoF @WSJ @davidhajdu_ @columbiajourn We knew you when! (but you were killing it in 2015 too)

[Julie Lasson @JulieLasson]

@felicityhbarber Happy speechwriter holiday!

[West Wing Writers @WestWingWriters]

A #SOTU watch party?! Sounds like a speechwriter's dream. If this tweet gets 25 RTs, we'll celebrate by live-tweeting the entire speech tonight.

[Julie Lasson @JulieLasson]

I do love a good cup of conference coffee but still looking forward this! (even if it’s byo☕️) #psaworldconference

[PSA Podium @psapodium]

THE CONFERENCE MAY BE VIRTUAL BUT THE EXCITEMENT IS REAL. https://t.co/c0cygPa5yQ Starts today. See you in a bit! #psaworldconference

[Julie Lasson @JulieLasson]

The practice of speechwriting has a place on so many stages. Looking forward to listening out for the acceptance speeches tonight! #Oscars #awardsseason #speechwriting

Brad Pitt's humblebrag-y, slick yet magnanimous awards acceptances deserve an Oscar in and of themselves -- but who is he paying to help write them? I examine one of Hollywood's worst-kept secrets: awards speech ghostwriting https://t.co/haP3HY8Bn6

The indictment of Julian Assange under the Espionage Act is "very dangerous for journalism," whether or not Assange is considered a journalist, @BoutrousTed says https://t.co/68KNAKLWdK

[Margaret Sullivan @Sulliview]

When far too much of what the government does is classified and when national security reporting practices are criminalized, it's the American public that will lose out. The new Assange indictment represents a 'bright red line' being crossed. My new column https://t.co/UcZF1gfr1k

.@PeteButtigieg says when he saw NFL players protest police brutality by kneeling during the National Anthem, he saw Americans using a right that he fought to defend. https://t.co/lS3IVwntZf #buttigiegpostlive

[First Amendment Watch @FirstAmendWatch]

Assange indicted on expanding charges under Espionage Act. The move has legal scholars concerned about First Amendment protections. #JulianAssange

Unbelievable. (but also unfortunately, believable and real)

[Demian Bulwa @demianbulwa]

In an extraordinary news conference, Scott alleged only that the journalist, Bryan Carmody, participated in receiving and distributing a leaked report — an action that is common in the media and protected by the First Amendment.

For some, rats are a "problem." For others, they are "pets."

Watch my foray into documentary filmmaking from a few years back here:

So many rats regularly lurk on a sidewalk in Brooklyn that it is the humans who avoid the rats, not the other way around. Not even cars are safe. https://t.co/5u2QbbcJEx
