Thanks to @philipmeyer4 for teaching me #computerassistedreporting at @UNCHussman 15 years ago and to @SarahOvaska

@rjritzel Damn, I missed this! My role was that of indispensable performance artist.

Damn, the #SuperBowl can sell the shit out of some #avocados!

@cheetieku @rossgrady I basically have to delete and edit every tweet, which is why I don’t tweet very often.

[Jesse James DeConto @jessedeconto]

@triggerx101 @ebruenig I’ve never really worked for the Spiderman kind of editor, which is probably why I’ve never made much money at it. There is often an inverse relationship between monetizing journalism and doing important journalism.

@saggymerwould Did it change from a picture of a Bud Light to Miller Lite to a Fireball shot and back again?

Proud Americans, stand by. (Then send this guy packing).

[Jesse James DeConto @jessedeconto]

@FoxNewsSunday asks #trump to tell the #whitenationalists to stand down. @POTUS says, “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by.”

[The Daily Show @TheDailyShow]

CHRIS WALLACE, MINUTE 1: Hello, gentlemen. I'm expecting a respectful debate

CHRIS WALLACE, MINUTE 12: Jesus Christ Mr. President, we just need 3 seconds of you not shouting. Just 3

[The Pinkerton Raid @pinkertonraid]

“What is radical about racial sensitivity training, sir?” @FoxNewsSunday wins the #PresidentialDebate

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

I’m Joe Biden and I approve this message.

[Jesse James DeConto @jessedeconto]

Why do @ABC and @GStephanopoulos keep taking breaks instead of reminding @POTUS what question was asked? This crying woman talked about her mom’s fatal cancer and asked for his immigration plan, and he went on and on about how great everything is with #COVID19. Huh?

[Jesse James DeConto @jessedeconto]

. @Sifill_LDF just said #democracy is at stake in November. The recent history of #republican #gerrymandering and #votersuppression is jeopardizing #blackandbrown votes. “We can expect all kinds of shenanigans.” @UniteThePoor #nationalmoralmonday

from @TheAtlantic's @JeffreyGoldberg “He can’t fathom the idea of doing something for someone other than himself. He just thinks that anyone who does anything when there’s no direct personal gain to be had is a sucker." https://t.co/PTOdrXv17e

“Going high is the only thing that works. ... going high does not mean putting on a smile and saying nice things when confronted by viciousness and cruelty. ... going high means standing fiercely against injustice.” — Michelle Obama #DemocraticNationalConvention

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

Michelle is basically trolling Trump by simply listing the requirements needed for a competent President. #DemConvention

[Jesse James DeConto @jessedeconto]

“He blames the prime minister of Canada for cutting him out of the Canadian version of Home Alone 2.” True story on #trump, and @amyklobuchar was always the funniest of the 2020 candidates. #DNC2020convention #DemocraticConvention #DNC20
