A couple months ago I started this post to answer the simple question of why I write. It ended up not being so easy to answer, because writing is as much a compulsion as it is a choice. So, I tucked it away for a little while until the answer came to me. https://t.co/5mSpZt9Di4

@SusanDReynolds I've been troubled by how people are celebrating the closure. This was ultimately a business transaction not someone who was a paying customer, which I think is a distinction being missed. Then there are the employees who are collateral damage in all this.

@jeffbercovici Congrats, Jeff! WSJ is lucky to have you!

I believe the saying is cutting your nose off to spite your face. Public service is not supposed to be about your own personal vendettas. This feud does nothing to help Floridians. https://t.co/Kf7EEZCo51

@ANNELAMOTT Two! And I just found the dynamic between the various parties more interesting.

[JennaBroughton @JennaBroughton]

@CollinSherwin This is where I am at. I want the guy to be successful, but it is just hard to get excited at this point.

[JennaBroughton @JennaBroughton]

@jeffbercovici Fantastic news -- congrats, Jeff!

[JennaBroughton @JennaBroughton]

Florida has a shortage of teachers, doctors & nurses; rising rent & home prices; homeowner insurance crisis; declining water quality. But sure the media is the biggest issue facing Floridians.

@MeredithCorley Precious! Hope you are enjoying your new role as mother.

@jeffbercovici I am not sure what's more concerning that the NY Times needed to do interviews to figure that out or that the best the "experts" could offer was to open a window and stay hydrated.

@jcsalterego Haha, kitchen rag is way less fancy but still resourceful!

I have no become that annoying running person who revolves her weekend around her long runs.

[JennaBroughton @JennaBroughton]

@jeffbercovici Not really weird, but I took up long distance running during the pandemic. It is much a mental challenge as a physical one, and I have to get to a zen place to get through 13 miles.

In case you're wondering how long until the next mass school shooting...

[Vox @voxdotcom]

The mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, has once again brought American exceptionalism on gun violence into stark relief.

Not one country compares to the US when it comes to the number of children killed inside its borders.

@fred_guttenberg summed it up. We failed our kids. My heart hurts today.

The news coming out of Texas is devastating. When will enough be enough?

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

Today is the 144th day of 2022.

The Uvalde shooting is the 212th mass shooting of 2022.

Gun violence is a public health crisis.
