Joined a new crew today

Fighting against a threat that has unfettered access to space while we do not is a recipe for death & destruction. It's the @SpaceForceDoD's job to make sure that never happens.

@DavidLarter And we never failed to clap

@davis_winkie Fantastic. I truly hope you get everything possible out of them.

@Jeff_MartinCA Union is negotiating.

A key reason I left journalism was the business leadership of Sightline Media Group. While I had other reasons as well, the short-sightedness and bad faith was what truly drove me to leave. I feel so terrible seeing these layoffs and hope these amazing people find jobs soon.

@AthertonKD No matching 401(k) and hypocritical business leadership as well.

@Jeff_MartinCA no paid out untaken vacation either, monstrous

Oh, and I refused to sign an NDA when I was laid off because they offered one week’s pay as severance during COVID and called it a “standard business practice”. I certainly hope they do better for these excellent journalists, but I highly doubt it.

This company had market leading brands and built so much on their reputation. That’s gone now. I can’t in good conscience recommend anyone ever work there as a journalist. And more than that, I’m so sad to see the brands I worked so hard to further being destroyed like this

Private Equity Firms Stop Demolishing Critically Important Newsrooms that Serve the US Military Community Challenge (impossible)

@Meghann_MT Feeling for you and those laid off today…none of you deserve this!

So this ended up being my last story for Military Times, as I was laid off today. I hope that guy asking me about his Air Force wife stuck in Syria actually listened to me this time.

Big deja vu right now…..back at AFA for the first time in 4 years and in uniform for the first time. Should be an awesome week.

@_Dan_Ryan @merii3 Space does this too. Lots of them out there

@DavidLarter @LeoShane @AaronMehta LeoLink

@LetAmyTry @merii3 @safetyCWO @UncleRedLeg @kcmunoz_ @ChemicalFire @NotchbackFiero @LTEzraBridger Definitely fired for saying things like “Long Island is awesome”, “that snaps” and never stopping talking about how she can’t get a good bagel

@AnthonyAggie17 Whiplash was EXCELLENT

Four films in the last 10 years that I consider to be masterpieces

Merry Christmas from Lake Michigan! Yes…it’s cold…

@_Dan_Ryan There is no better phase…

THIS FINAL RIGHT NOW

Fellowship (theatrical) is the best movie. Two Towers (extended) is my favorite.
