I’m on here less and less. Follow me on Bluesky or reach out to me at [email protected].

Preparing for The Last Waltz on here.

[Pete Croatto @PeteCroatto]

Came on here for my once-a-day maintenance, and I was genuinely touched to see this. And, yes, I'm still eminently hirable. Contact information is in my bio.

[Deepak Nambisan @DeepakNambisan]

Buy this gentleman’s book. He is a genius but is far too modest to accept such a compliment. He’s a real one, and a superb writer.

[Pete Croatto @PeteCroatto]

@DimeDropperPod Hey, man. Sorry to hear about that. Drop me a line at [email protected]. I'll see what I can do.

[Pete Croatto @PeteCroatto]

Thank you! But I'm *not* an historian and have never claimed to be one. I'm a journalist, unless reading LOOSE BALLS an unhealthy number of times counts as an Ed.D or a Ph.D.

Sorry I couldn't be at the premiere. Would have been swell to meet Dr. Runstedtler and Julius.

[Soul Power & the ABA @abathrowbacks]

Soul Power was blessed with some fantastic historians.

They also are willing and happy to share their knowledge and expertise!

Reach out to @jasonlevin18 @RebBrownell @DrTRunstedtler and @PeteCroatto anytime!!

[Pete Croatto @PeteCroatto]

@nprfreshair @phillymag That's it. See you later. You know where to find me.

[Pete Croatto @PeteCroatto]

Since I'm on here following up with a source for a story, here's my latest piece. For @UConn Magazine, I chatted with @PHEEsespieces and @breannastewart about UNRIVALED and the burden of being an advocate and an entrepreneur. https://t.co/84ztVBAVgI

[Pete Croatto @PeteCroatto]

And here's my oral history of Terry Gross and @nprfreshair for @phillymag. This was a blast to do. https://t.co/Y4wG2rjOWd

[Pete Croatto @PeteCroatto]

@SwinCash Hi, Swin. Journalist here. I'm working on a story for UCONN MAGAZINE, and I was wondering if I could chat with you. Could you please DM me or email me at [email protected]. Thank you.

[Pete Croatto @PeteCroatto]

A reminder: I'm here now. And I'm happier for it.

[John Gotty @JohnGotty]

a good dose of perspective from @PeteCroatto as we head into the next few days/weeks https://t.co/jhW7GVsWV5

[Pete Croatto @PeteCroatto]

@JohnGotty Thanks, man.

[Pete Croatto @PeteCroatto]

Pimpbot 5000 pushed him down that hill.

[Breaking911 @Breaking911]

Jay Leno has been seriously injured again after the comedian says he fell down a hill at the Hampton Inn

[Pete Croatto @PeteCroatto]

@WinWinIrwin 1.) Yeah, man, it 100 percent is. I don't lie about shit like that.

2.) Thank you. I'm doing OK.

[Pete Croatto @PeteCroatto]

Let’s see how this goes.

[Pete Croatto @PeteCroatto]

Also, my dad died Saturday. I don't need to spend any more goddamn time with my soul feeling like a clenched fist. Life's too short.

[Pete Croatto @PeteCroatto]

FYI: I'm going to be on here less and less. If you want to keep up with my observations and inanities, I'm on Bluesky, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, etc.

[Pete Croatto @PeteCroatto]

Get your vaccines now. Seriously.

[Jared Polis @jaredpolis]

I’m excited by the news that the President-Elect will appoint @RobertKennedyJr to @HHSGov. He helped us defeat vaccine mandates in Colorado in 2019 and will help make America healthy again by shaking up HHS and FDA. I hope he leans into personal choice on vaccines rather than bans (which I think are terrible, just like mandates) but what I’m most optimistic about is taking on big pharma and the corporate ag oligopoly to improve our health. Before you mock him or disagree, I want to share with you some quotes that if he follows through show why I’m excited:

“Level the playing field for Americans internationally on drug costs…cap drug prices so that companies can’t charge Americans substantially more than Europeans pay." YES! Colorado currently has an application just SITTING at FDA for us to import low-cost prescription drugs from Canada and we just need their approval.

"In some categories, there are entire departments, like the nutrition department at the FDA that are – that have to go, that are not doing their job, they're not protecting our kids," YES! The entire nutrition regime is dominated by big corporate ag rather than human health and they do more harm than good

“We’ve got to get off of pesticide-intensive agriculture.” YES! We have tried unsuccessfully to better protect people and pollinators from harmful pesticides here in Colorado and we need all the help we can get to take on big chemical companies and improve human health and the environment! For our pollinators and our people! 🦋

He will face strong special interest opposition on these, but I look forward to partnering with him to truly make America healthy again and I hope that we can finally make progress on these important issues.

[Pete Croatto @PeteCroatto]

Let’s see how this goes.

[Pete Croatto @PeteCroatto]

Absolutely. If Maurice Stokes’s career didn’t end so tragically, Oscar might have retried with two or three championships.

[Andy Roth @arhooptalk]

When Oscar Robertson retired with one NBA championship, nobody questioned his greatness because of that. They knew with the exception of playing with the Bucks, he didn’t have a strong enough roster It’s called common sense, which isn’t very common these days.
