Hey look, my actual beating (and for a little while, not beating) heart.

#EchoFirst @ase360 #Cardiotwitter #oxorntips Resurgence of Ross procedure. Excellent results from large centers. Growth in our program due to efforts of our aortic surgeons @chrisryanburke and @Scott_DeRooMD

@nwprogressive @KromanDavid Your first sentence contradicts your concluding fragment.

@jordyhansen Go see Wenatchee. It’s great.

@geostanley And here I’d hoped moving from newspapering into the elections sphere would make for a more reliably sustainable career.

[Derrick Nunnally @dcnunnally]

Damn it. Matt was a vital voice for our community, an irreplaceable champion of Tacoma culture. A city gets one of those a generation if it’s lucky.

He was an even better person and an endlessly kind colleague. What a loss for all of us.

[Sean Robinson @seanrobinson1e4]

We love you, Matt. I am broken.

@DerekMYoung If I have read accurately, his count after round 1 was 25.02%.

@skaushik100 @RoweReport @gwinnma Telling smart kids bored with their settings that the solution is simply to have their teachers put in more work is uninspiring to all involved.

@DerekMYoung “News my high school journalism teacher should hear about”?

After Katrina, alt-weekly papers across the U.S. raised money to help Gambit (which flooded & shut down for 9 weeks) keep paying its staff. Now we’re helping the Maui Times survive the fires & protect its community during recovery. Please join us & donate. https://t.co/1XWN8hMCe8

@seanrobinson1e4 I personally get confronted by one on the daily and am unsure how to proceed. Suggestions?

[Derrick Nunnally @dcnunnally]

@moorehn @rebelpioneer The need for a Safire-esque contemporary language explainer is correctly described, and as beloved as the word of the day tweet is, it doesn’t get there.

[Derrick Nunnally @dcnunnally]

@moorehn @rebelpioneer I’d write it, but trying to sell it is a bit beyond my expertise.

[Derrick Nunnally @dcnunnally]

@rebelpioneer @moorehn Nope. White trash is a racist insult that connotes an irredeemable character. A redneck is generally taken to be a willingly shortsighted, short-tempered sort.

[Derrick Nunnally @dcnunnally]

@emmettoconnell @rosanereports That’s not journalism. Typing up events without the wherewithal to put them into local context is properly called stenography.

[Derrick Nunnally @dcnunnally]

@emmettoconnell @rosanereports How far away is “somewhere else” defined?

[Derrick Nunnally @dcnunnally]

@VladGutman @drvolts West coast is best coast and that’s not even debatable.

@VladGutman The city that never sleeps (on the chance to self-inflict errors)

@VladGutman He’s become a true New Yorker now. ‘Everything stinks equally everywhere.’

I’ve been cooped up here for a week of convalescence, I’m going to get comfortable.
