Former @washingtonpost, still reader, traveler, ocean aficionado. I might’ve been born yesterday, but I’ve been up all night.

My last tweet of the evening. If you care about about great journalism, please stop the “”I’ve canceled my subscription” thing. The @washingtonpost newsroom is a remarkable asset. There are questions around it but Cameron Barr is someone to trust. Just take a deep breath.

[Scott Wilson @PostScottWilson]

Um, oversees rather than overseas, which is the work he edited of mine.

[Scott Wilson @PostScottWilson]

@Sulliview @NPR @davidfolkenflik @washingtonpost All I know about the bylines is that if I got a call from @gregpmiller and he had concerns about the ethics of decisions I’ve made I would have two reactions: ok, he’s fair and ethical and wow he’ll find out everything. He’s the most complete, honest journalist I’ve worked with.

[Scott Wilson @PostScottWilson]

No one like him. And his writing is so good.

[Margaret Sullivan @Sulliview]

@PostScottWilson @NPR @davidfolkenflik @washingtonpost @gregpmiller No one wants that phone call

[Scott Wilson @PostScottWilson]

What a great choice. One of the finest editors of his generation - cliche alert - but in this case truly deserved - fair, honest and so meticulous. So proud to have worked with him. I will trust the work he overseas. You all should.

Update: Former WashPost Senior Managing Editor Cameron Barr is now overseeing the paper's coverage of the controversies besetting publisher Will Lewis and his pick as its next editor, Rob Winnett.

Just finished Burn Coast by the great @DaleMaharidge. Vivid, spell-binding portrait of people and places at the edge of our continent and a clear-eyed elegy for the end of an era and ethos. Glad I didn’t read it before I tried to write about Humboldt; I would never have tried.

What a picture….

[Scott Wilson @PostScottWilson]

California’s been good to me, hope it don’t fall into the sea….

[Scott Wilson @PostScottWilson]

And a ship wreck - or a 30-foot sloop wreck - even before the main event. This one looks pretty derelict so probably had it coming in any storm swell.

Between storms in Santa Barbara, looking east.

Interesting story from my backyard...

Very smart @emmanuelfelton story: Black Americans aren’t enthusiastic about reparations yet. Here’s why. https://t.co/ZeUQrcI77L

Important, compelling and all-around brilliant @EllenBarryNYT work on an excruciating decision many of the mentally ill and homeless face every day. https://t.co/a9AVvUjD9a

Thanks so much, Autumn, very grateful. I’ve also updated my goal given that my last one was for the 2022 effort.

Just another day in The Cove….#lareina #rincon

Not the biggest surf - very high tide - but beautiful morning to start this great contest. #rinconclassic2024

Thanks so much, Jeffrey.
