My job at the Washington Post was just eliminated along w/the whole Books section, most of Sports, Post Reports, and many, many others.

Silver lining: my last piece was on the Muppets.

@aherman2006 AMEN

[Matt Pearce 🦅🇺🇸 @mattdpearce]

It’s past midnight, and I’m now on strike with hundreds of my best friends at @latguild in the first newsroom union work stoppage since the Los Angeles Times started printing in 1881.

There’s no such thing as journalism without journalists.

@jenniferlcroft @smswrites @The_Millions Cat's First Baby.

Cat's!
First!
Baby!

(Our big winner over here is Hello, Hello--which we read 10x a day, and I'm shocked at how long it took me to realize that it's a book about rigorously well-rendered visual transitions.)

I wrote about Matthew Perry https://t.co/dQrHxUcUcB

[Michael 英泉 Eisen @mbeisen]

I have been informed that I am being replaced as the Editor in Chief of @eLife for retweeting a @TheOnion piece that calls out indifference to the lives of Palestinian civilians.

[Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd]

Hamza was killed by an Israeli airstrike.

[Alex Press @alexnpress]

totally absurd. so many people are getting fired right now for making the most banal statements critical of Israel

[On the Media @onthemedia]

In the final episode of our series, "We Don't Talk About Leonard," @ProPublica reporters @AndreaBNYC, @AndyKroll and @ilyamarritz look at what Leonard Leo and his allies are planning for the future. Listen today: https://t.co/bvRsoK2tTi

this language has now been removed from the article. The quote is authentic and was reported by several other outlets-> https://t.co/h7erK2sd0Z

Archived version on the left, live version on the right

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Any person can see that ordering 1+ million people to move in under 24 hours is not possible. It is unacceptable.

The UN has already deemed the order “impossible” without “devastating humanitarian consequences.”

Humanity is at stake. Nearly half are children. We must halt this

[Transit Books @transitbooks]

We've sold out of everything! But new editions are on their way—with updated covers donning some new celebratory stickers 👀

[Aaron Bady @zunguzungu]

On remorse, from a former IDF soldier, who asks "How can morality enable us to live with the horror we inspire in ourselves?"

@jmittell Happily!! ("I was wrong" might be one of my favorite subgenres to read and write)

[Lili Loofbourow @Millicentsomer]

I wrote about this weird, vaguely apocalyptic moment in TV https://t.co/IixZ1WAG6X

[Lili Loofbourow @Millicentsomer]

"A woman in a white striped dress ... said South Carolina was making the news for the wrong reasons: 'We now know that there have been teachings in a school, here in this district, of systemic racism. … This is not only inappropriate and divisive, this is illegal.'”

[Harry Wood @harrymwood]

I know we're not supposed to be working during the strike but I couldn't resist giving this a quick edit pass

[Lili Loofbourow @Millicentsomer]

@n_hold thanks!!

[Lili Loofbourow @Millicentsomer]

and here's my own take on "The Changeling," parts of which I loved so much, and found so brilliant, that this became a truly painful pan https://t.co/nRBedHxPnq

[Lili Loofbourow @Millicentsomer]

@jessicapancakes @pjmaciak total win, ha!!

[Lili Loofbourow @Millicentsomer]

it is unstrategic to say--when your own piece on the show in question is about to be published--that someone else's is the definitive take

oh well

@pjmaciak on "The Changeling" is a goddamn revelation https://t.co/RzTZckay38
