Oh, you know, this and that. Editor. Former journalist now working in health care. Opinions here are mine & mine alone.

@JRubinBlogger @JonLemire Thank God? For what and why? Just curious. Not trolling. Love your work. 😎

Sometimes, doctors do their best work without ever pulling out their stethoscope. An expectant mom with a breech baby on the way one day after Helene on a mountainside in western North Carolina #helene

@atrupar @AshaRangappa_ Is there a Bat Signal for Margaret Sullivan? @Sulliview

[Roland Wilkerson @Rowilkerson]

@JamesFallows @davidfolkenflik Love this. Someone should do a piece on how the pools work. Are they actually so far back that they aren’t really covering the event?. Someone pull back the curtain, please. 😎

Compare and contrast.

The Guardian: "Trump repeats lies and attacks Kamala Harris’s racial identity at panel of Black journalists"

Washington Post: "Harris faces a pivotal moment as Trump questions her identity."

WNBC: "Trump grabs attention with controversial race remarks."

A reminder that this debate is being held near a college campus.

This is near where the media was told to have rideshare drop them off

[Roland Wilkerson @Rowilkerson]

Other cat certainly napping nearby.

Was just at a Walgreens. Guy walked in and just asked to the air: got eclipse glasses? Negative. Clerk said they’ve gotten “easily more than 100 calls today.”

We have a release date! “The Devil at His Elbow: Alex Murdaugh and the Fall of a Southern Dynasty” is out Aug. 20. It’s about power, privilege, blood and the rural South and I can’t wait for you to read it.

We haven’t lost the capacity to pay attention.

179 studies, 32 countries: on tests of concentration from 1990 to 2021, children didn’t decline—and adults actually improved.

When we want to focus, we can. Our distraction issues are a matter of motivation, not ability.

[Roland Wilkerson @Rowilkerson]

Just asking: Why are there no news stories explaining why you can just “push through” razor wire like a curtain? I’ve seen nothing . Every piece on the escaped convict just seems to assume that piercing this ubiquitous barrier is a snap,

[Roland Wilkerson @Rowilkerson]

@CaitlinPacific Perhaps it’s a matter of scale?

Overheard at estate sale in Gastonia, NC: Kelly—is this a spittoon? It’s gotta be!

[Roland Wilkerson @Rowilkerson]

@JRubinBlogger Is the word “content” supposed to be “context”?

[Roland Wilkerson @Rowilkerson]

@jayrosen_nyu @JRubinBlogger Not to argue, but there’s not enough context up against asymmetry. I don’t know what it means. I’ve been called ‘slow’ before, though! All that aside, keep preaching. I’ll keep reading.
