Thank you @pbump ... If there was ever a time for a little media humility, this is it. This is unprecedented. Just report the facts -- real facts, not speculation. Do the job they taught you in journalism school.
I’m emerging from my social media hiatus to share recent comments from Ken Burns. I’ve chatted with him a few times over the years, always to my benefit. He’s very worried about American democracy — I think with good reason.
Here’s a video excerpt from his speech at Brandeis:
Keith Davidson, Stormy Daniels’ ex-lawyer who took the stand on Tuesday in Trump's criminal trial, also filed a sexual assault case against the estranged son of Don Hankey, the billionaire who recently bailed Trump out.
Just FYI, I’m retiring from social media this weekend and deleting my accounts.
For those who want to curate their own news, I recommend downloading the AP app to start. It’s getting clogged with ads, alas, but is still a valuable service.
I check the BBC app regularly. I no longer subscribe to The Washington Post or The NY Times (I won’t support some of their opinion writers) but I do check both.
The Capitals and the Wizards may not win another championship anytime soon, but they will continue playing their home games where they should: in the downtown arena they've called home since 1997 as first the MCI Center, then the Verizon Center, followed by the resulting nickname of the Phone Booth, and now Capital One Arena. That's the best possible resolution…
@robpegoraro ... A new arena with public funds in Alexandria makes no sense. It's not a depressed area, with plenty of development planned for there. I think it was a negotiating ploy by Ted Lionsis that worked like a charm.
Latest photo-shoot this week: screening at National Press Club of the PBS Frontline documentary "Democracy on Trial," about the Federal criminal indictment of former president Donald Trump, with discussion by producer Mike Wiser and investigative counsel Temidayo Aganga-Williams. 27 Mar. 2024.
I started this Mastodon instance as an alternative to Twitter because I was tired of the noise and ads.
With this space, I’ve experienced the ups and downs of micro community engagement. It’s by no means a straightforward solution but remains an interesting alternative for those with an interest in fashion and style.
I know some find the UX off putting but I think this is such a valuable community!
