Copy chief for @ringer.

@bryancurtis @timkmak Excellent interview. There's some real craftsmanship to these questions. (Appreciate Tim's candor, *and* his decision to work with a copy editor on this project. Find Mr. Mak a war correspondents bar!)

The World Baseball Classic couldn’t have been better. Let’s review the moments that made it unforgettable, from Trea Turner’s grand slam to Ohtani vs. Trout.

It was tough to find a word to describe Princeton’s win Saturday over Missouri, so @rodger had to get creative.

(Consider this our official submission for consideration, @MerriamWebster.)

This is a @thesnews appreciation tweet.

This proud State News '98 alumnus is very proud of the work you are doing.

@JoshLipnik I've been loving your Cleveland shots. Did you happen to visit Ohio City during your visit? Lived there for a few years in the early ’00s and loved it.

My favorite writer, @ericazora, takes us to Southern California's only curry leaf farm. If you've ever bought curry leaf at an Indian market, it was probably grown by Anand Prasad. https://t.co/ZzqJ8IeDjx

@katehalliwell Happy anniversary! I used to be kinda/sorta young!

[Craig Gaines @cbengaines]

This is masterful. Last night, I told Katie's editor that reading this was like watching an ace throw a no-hitter.

@JeffAndersonDC1 It was a highlight of my career to work on your copy, Jeff!

I had the honor of meeting Henry for lunch at Papa Cristo's when I was a new copy chief. His advice was invaluable. He is cited twice in our own style guide. I will always regret that we were never able to schedule a second lunch date, but will always be grateful for the first.

Fantastic conversation. Learned a ton about a complex topic in ~20 minutes.

Vin was a writer as much as he was a broadcaster. He just had the singular gift of transmitting his perfect first draft from his mind straight to his mic. If you want to meditate on the beauty and range of the English language, listen to one of its master craftsmen, Vin Scully.

Excellent report. I'll think of Michael's use of the phrase "ethical purgatory" every time I think about LIV.

Complicity, and deflection, at the LIV Golf traveling circus.

Had a rare opportunity to sit and read an entire essay today. As a son of the Midwest, I quite enjoyed this.

[National Book Foundation @nationalbook]

"Maybe it is this tension—the departures, the returns, the decision to stay, a constant reference to migration—that also makes the Midwest familiar to me." -

@jkylemann I don't even know where to begin ...

@larrywilmore I will think about this tweet every time I come across this phrase in copy for the rest of my career. And it will take me about that long to untangle all my thoughts about it.

Linsanity made Jeremy Lin a Knicks legend and one of the greater sports stories we’ve ever seen, but he’s become so much more than that for Asian Americans as he’s found a voice that reaches far beyond basketball—and he still has plenty story left to tell. https://t.co/bz1fwUMFnk
