A conundrum still causing enough discussion that this Post piece quotes @TheSlot from a 2016 online chat. https://t.co/4aNWCpeICv

It's @jdland here, tweeting as @theslot (RIP) to keep his account and the archive of his brilliance active.

We’re purging accounts that have had no activity at all for several years, so you will probably see follower count drop

Happy congratulations from Mrs. TheSlot to Annalee Hubbs, this year's winner of the Bill Walsh Scholarship, administered by the ACES Education Fund. https://t.co/Rf114asJGT @JDLand

If you think singular "their" is contentious, try translating that debate to a language in which plural nouns must have genders too. Fascinating piece by @schmidtsam7... and I wish @TheSlot were still around to discuss it. https://t.co/yC3rNgdsjf

[Bill Walsh @TheSlot]

I think we all know exactly what @TheSlot would have thought of this.

Hire a professional writer. It makes all the difference.

{Fixing} It's the library Bill left behind, which I gave to the Post to keep his passion for editing close at hand at the place where he worked for 20 years. Also, a piece he wrote about this library of his, along with a wider shot, though still not the entire thing. @JDLand

Don't be alarmed, it's just Mrs. TheSlot retweeting this. And thank you again to everyone who has contributed to the Walsh Scholarship Fund, or plans to: https://t.co/drCLKSa2KC #ACES2019

Shoot, I forgot to mention in my remarks that the most popular @TheSlot tie, with the tabloid headlines, from year's silent auction is being auctioned again, thanks to @EditorMark. #ACES2019
