@BrandyLJensen @daveweigel Honestly there’s an old fight in my house about him: I see Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals and Righteous Gemstones as these wonderful sort of essays on rapacious ego and mercenary greed -- about piggishness but not themselves piggish if that makes sense? Ah well

@bborrell Just read it. Delicious and disturbing

@GershKuntzman We probably shouldn't confront strangers while cursing -- unless, and this is very rare, one can do it with the impeccable comedic timing of a longtime New Yorker who knows he's in the right. The key: deemphasize the "fuck" and a nice melodic "youuuu"

Very moved by @JordiGraupera on Michael Walzer. This does something that could be called "thinking together": a writer thinking along with, and about, a thoughtful subject so the reader can think in new ways. (The opposite of a thin, preachy "think piece") https://t.co/OjPqsQJUkf

Two days ago, the Israeli army blew up the family home of journalist Radwan Mortada in Bint Jbeil

The terrorist demolition of Radwan's home comes as his film exposing the players behind Israel's pager attack becomes the most viewed documentary in recent history at Al Jazeera

The siege of Taiz, in Yemen, is the longest siege in modern warfare. Now, the Houthis have surrounded the city. My latest piece, for
@nybooks, is a review of @AlexMStark's excellent book and has reporting from Taiz and elsewhere in Yemen: https://t.co/8OWlhebkwf #Yemen #Socotra

Merrill College students know their rights as journalists.

"Cat Murphy is a master's student at the University of Maryland, credentialed as a reporter for our Capital News Service and doing the job we teach our students to do. Cat recorded openly in a public space alongside other news outlets, and that is her legal right," Dean Rafael Lorente (@DeanLorente) said. "I'm proud of how she handled herself in a difficult situation."

After a decorated 24-year run at ESPN, Nicole Noren resigned in protest.

She couldn’t go along with the network’s all-out embrace of gambling.

For the first time publicly, in @CJR, Noren shares the deeply personal reasons behind her decision.

I'm not smart enough to understand why scandals do or don't win the public's attention, but I was blown away by this reporting from @CGorrivan, @ElleBeyoud and @nicola_m_white. If you're interested in markets, it's worth your time. Here's a gift link https://t.co/3L9FhMIcT2
