“There has always been the ‘Kyle punches drywall’ joke. It is one of those things in pop culture that popped up. Kyles, in general, tend to be short-tempered, and when they are displeased, instead of harming others, they just break something.” https://t.co/TilEqzuJZi

@kaijajussinoja @CTVVancouver Congrats Kaija 🎉

This morning my new Coast colleague @martin_bauman said he's working on a story about blood-sucking bugs, so naturally I've been cracking myself up all day with "tick talk" puns.

But now the story is out, and it's just terrifying.

This little glitch where @Twitter “Incestimated” its own user stats is a brilliant Freudian slip. Thanks for the useful new word, universe

[Olivia Solon @oliviasolon]

The stock symbol has messed with the article preview to give us “incestimated,” which sounds like the kind of insult that would get Musk into another libel suit

A true legend of the alt-weekly newspaper world, the Washington City Paper just published its last print issue. The story looking back on an era explains a lot about the @wcp *and* alt-weeklies in general. #journalism

[Washington City Paper @wcp]

Expect the final regular print issue of Washington City Paper on stands today. Learn more about the City Lights section’s 41 years in print here: https://t.co/xHixgrdcdk

These 2 headlines at @nytimes are telling different stories about the same statistic. So did the labour force (US translation: labor force) grow or shrink in April? And does this sort of confusion grow or shrink trust in journalism?

Helping bring @snolen's "What happened at Northwood?" story into the world was a major highlight of 2021 for me at The Coast. I'm thrilled and thankful @MagAwards agrees, nominating it as one of the best long longform features in Canada. It's in great company

One of the few remaining alt weeklies in Canada (and the place I got my first professional byline!) gets acquired. This appears to be a much better fit than the disastrous NOW deal in Toronto. I hope it works out for everyone.
