@GrantGinder Literally cannot wait (for the book, not your crisis ... as if they can be separated)

@EliMcCann Love love love this for you all - and can’t wait to see how you two behave in the background when he’s got a book report to record

[Eric Ferrero @ericferrero]

@GrantGinder All of this - plus eating half a dozen appetizers and a bowl of cereal for dinner

I sometimes come here to urge people to support news outlets that matter

But today it's not for THE CITY

The brave journalists at The Haitian Times have come under vile and racist attacks. I just made a donation to them and urge you to do so as well.

Pro-tip: When giving a talk on how to raise money for journalism, at a convention in Vegas, always always lead with stock pic of piles of cash. Thanks for having me, #EWA24!

@LEBassett The Strassberg Sock. I know it looks nuts (search Amazon and you’ll see it), but it is the only thing that worked, after trying all of these things.
