A photographer was tragically crushed when a massive block of cheddar fell on him.

In fairness, the people he was photographing tried to warn him.

The sign on the door said, “PRESS.”
So I did.
The door opened…
And the room was full of journalists.

Pope Leo: For Lent, fast from words that hurt others, disarm language, avoid rash judgment, refrain from speaking ill of those who can't defend themselves. Let's cultivate kindness, respect in our families, friends, at work, on social media, in political debates, in parishes.

Phenomenal job by Brian Anderson and the entire broadcast crew explaining that chaotic situation with the double play in Milwaukee.

The full explanation, reasoning, video, umpire shots, all of it.

Fantastic job.

THE MOST REMARKABLE DOUBLE PLAY YOU'LL SEE IN YOUR LIFE

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!?!?! #NLCS

[Ryan Wing @RyanWingFOX11]

That’s absolutely absurd. I’ve never seen anything like that ever

[Christian Schneider @Schneider_CM]

They’ve been playing baseball for 150 years and you’ll still see stuff you’ve never seen before. Unbelievable.

[Adam McCalvy @AdamMcCalvy]

The craziest double play you'll ever see. With the bases loaded, Sal Frelick leaped to pull back a Muncy grand slam, but the ball popped out of his glove, glanced off the wall and back in his glove. Brewers threw home for a force, then Contreras ran the ball to third.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Doing the work of a journalist can never be considered a crime, but it is a right that must be protected. Free access to information is a pillar that upholds the edifice of our societies, and for this reason, we are called to defend and guarantee it.

Ten years after his passing, beloved #Badgers sportswriter and @uw_sjmc alum Tom Mulhern’s legacy lives on through the next generation of sports journalists.

ICE COLD FACT 💎 LEADERSHIP is not a Title or Position… It’s an ACTION. Ya gotta show and prove.

[Jennifer Griffin @JenGriffinFNC]

In one of his first acts and messages, Pope Leo called Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy and spoke to the media today: “Let me, therefore, reiterate today the Church’s solidarity with journalists who are imprisoned for seeking and reporting the truth while also asking for their release. The Church recognises in these witnesses – I am thinking of those who report on war even at the cost of their lives – the courage of those who defend dignity, justice and the right of people to be informed, because only informed individuals can make free choices. The suffering of these imprisoned journalists challenges the conscience of nations and the international community, calling on all of us to safeguard the precious gift of free speech and of the press.”

Really interesting preprint out of Stanford showing that while the public is doing somewhat well in recognizing generative AI images, they're also becoming more suspicious of real images.

🚨 New Preprint! 🚨

🧵 During the 2024 U.S. presidential election, many #GenAI political images appeared. But did voters mistake them for authentic? (1/)

We brought Heinz back to Milwaukee in 2010 to speak at the Wisconsin News Photographers Association annual convention (see last photo in this gallery). What a treat it was to meet him. Legend.

[Mary Spicuzza @MSpicuzzaMJS]

Heinz Kluetmeier took some of the most iconic photos in American sports history. His time in Milwaukee is just as fascinating https://t.co/hfIUCyQB1y via @JRRadcliffe

@samarakalk 2hr 10 minutes and order is in!

[Michael P. King @UWmpking]

1hr 10 mins just to break the plane of the parking lot at Sun Prairie West Culvers. Probably another 30 minutes until ordering. Who knows how long to get food. Lots of people doing a little bit of good across Wisconsin for ALCS tonight. Bellies don’t understand but hearts do

[Michael P. King @UWmpking]

@samarakalk it’d be fascinating to read a behind the scenes logistics story about what it takes at the restaurant and corporate levels to execute this. This can’t be done on a whim. The Verona story whetted my appetite
