Roberts sidesteps Supreme Court’s ethics controversies in yearly report https://t.co/FBm0NRMdc1
A Washington Post reporter whom I’ve known all her life skillfully dissects all the major issues Chief Justice John Roberts avoided addressing in his annual report.
@TheLeadCNN@jaketapper A fascinating discussion (more of a debate) on whether reporters who are not assigned to work on sensitive stories should be allowed to tweet on the subject. Marty Baron, former editor of The Washington Post, and Jake Tapper.
Big congrats to WaPo's Ann Marimow for a lot of good coverage of SCt this term. She's clearly ready to move to the front job if Bob Barnes is thinking of closing his stellar run. Ann also continues a great Marimow family tradition in the news trade.
In Philadelphia, the boos are gone and the ‘vibes are flowing’ https://t.co/Ejx8VhmF1c A Washington Post story captures my hometown’s “communal jubliance.”
Chris Ware’s “Lockdown” https://t.co/k2cXVXrGCx via @NewYorker A timely but deeply disturbing New Yorker cover depicting an active shooter drill or the real thing. Artist Chris Ware left the scene ambiguous.
@1KellysHeroes@PhillyInquirer@phillyleighton@kettelb @addamschwartz @AnnApplegate An A+ journalist and an equally great guy. I always called him Merlin because of the magic he worked in designing the front page of The Inquirer.

@chipscanlan@DanBarryNYT Wisdom and wit from 55 writers whose work and commentary on their craft is well worth reading. I highly recommend Chip Scanlan’s new book — “Writers on Writing.”
""It doesn’t get easier. In fact, I find that the process gets harder. I expect more of myself than I did as a young newspaper reporter..." Wisdom from

Coming attraction: Diane and studio mate, Lynne Dorman, show off their work today and over the weekend. Stop by to see excellent art and quaff a cold beer.
A Texas doctor has been sued under the new abortion law, but the lawsuits surprisingly come from people out-of-state. @amarimow breaks down the two suits filed and says we'll likely see more.
In the last 2 years, Philly accounted for 1 in 10 homicide exonerations in the U.S. Most involved some allegation of official misconduct.
Those cases raise serious questions about Homicide Unit practices spanning decades. (thread)

The death today of Temple's great basketball coach John Chaney called to mind this memorable photograph of Chaney and Dawn Staley, the Dobbins High School graduate, who led South Carolina's women's b-ball team to an NCAA title.
