It’s very fun to see this all in print and I can’t wait to learn more about the neighborhood and fold in members of the community.

[Liam Pierce @LiamPierce]

Extremely proud of my debut as editor of The Rockridge News, a 16-page print newspaper about goings-on in a little hamlet of Oakland.

I had a lot of help, but ran a lot of the show — design, editing, writing, reporting, illustration, the whole shebang.

It was a nod to the past, the origins of the land. And I also visited the Oakland Tech High School journalism class, where I recruited students to write for the paper. A nod to the future.

Per @ussoccer, the @USYNT U-20 have a KO game vs Italy in Chile on Thursday and the ONLY broadcast is in Spanish on @NBCUniverso & @peacock.
What gives @FOXSoccer, not even on the app?

stopped using dating apps because when I want my time wasted by a bunch of men, I just watch the USMNT

[Liam Pierce @LiamPierce]

Yeah, it's things like this that make me (cry uncontrollably) miss teaching high school journalism. These kids were so brilliant.

@JVLast hey, so I’m trying to share your How to Think and Act Like a Dissident article — because it’s very good! I know a man’s gotta eat, but this one in particular feels like it shouldn’t have a paywall on it. Y’feel me?

[Liam Pierce @LiamPierce]

@farhip You know you can transfer people you follow here to there, right? (Well, the ones both on X and BlueSky.) I have about 1/3 of people I follow here (note: not followers). https://t.co/MItBNlPc8p

This is an essential read. I ain't no bootlicker, but these are marching orders I'll obey: https://t.co/Vv75gt54Oa

Now is not the time to conflate:

1. TV news with real news
2. Newspaper owners with editorial

Stop pretending the press is the enemy. That’s buying into fascism.

The press is largely made up of people irate at injustice & starving to hold powerful people accountable.

[Liam Pierce @LiamPierce]

@vybeforlyfe Hoo boy, thanks so much for the compliment! (Fun fact: written journalists almost never get kind feedback.) I totally had no idea what you were talking about until I looked it up. That’s a rough story to revisit. Glad the jokes got both of us through it.

[Liam Pierce @LiamPierce]

I’m gonna log off and watch that episode of Game of Thrones where it’s the night before the war with the white walkers.

@armankhon Now that Trump is cozying up to TikTok, do you regret quitting?

As information about the terrorist attack in New Orleans unfolds please remember that details in fast-moving situations are often most reliable from local sources.

Currently going through my 'following' list on this godforsaken website, and then finding their handles on Bluesky.

liampierce is mine, btw.

[Liam Pierce @LiamPierce]

Seems like there's a solution!
