Very excited to share this news! Huge, huge thanks to @chriskepner who has been such a great partner to us in this

Sent my first newsletter a mere 11 months after setting it up: photography; writing; arguing with Nabokov; Seven Samurai. Enjoy. buttondown.com/sgannon/archiv…

@KCampoBowen Thanks, Kathy! Hope you’re doing well

Here is a very short story, a small tribute to one of my favorite genres of writing everydayfiction.com/unknown-causes…

Truly can't say enough about Jessica's editing — such a great collaboration & the story is so much better for her every suggestion 🙏

@MorrisonCSIS A little throwback to 1800 K St!

Plywood going up, downtown Wash DC, 3 days before elections.

@andreareed1 I think either! Also great that they mean "write on the back of" because of the same Latin root as "dorsal"

"Orson [Welles] not only did not drive, he didn't have any desire to learn." — Citizen Welles by Frank Brady, pg. 70

Well, you know I don’t drive But, honey, if I did, I’d play that track all the way back From driving to your house just to say hey — @lydia_loveless

“My humiliation was complete with his discovery that I couldn’t even drive a car.” — James Baldwin

@michaelklinger @cbaggery I got carpal tunnel typing it up for the Wake casebook—I swear it was 70 pages long (had to work hard on this one to avoid the word "cites")

@cbaggery I learned what a pangolin was from that 1ac.

@Nate_Cohn @xenocryptsite hey, me too

@xenocryptsite been there!

Tell me something about Marlboro, Vermont.

@FrankSawyer_HS haha thanks coach

Throwback to New Hampshire 2016, when I wrote this throwback to New Hampshire 1964: slate.com/news-and-polit…

@melzorz classic antifa

@DanFeldmanNBA this is a good joke

Headline: Knicks hiring Leon Rose as Steve Mills' predecessor

@srfeld tough look for bernie imo

I enjoyed this galaxy brain take by a Japanese nationalist from 1924, quoted in Benedict Anderson’s Imagined Communities.

@dmtb59 Don’t be sorry! Just having fun. As typos go, this one created no actual confusion & added some enjoyment to my morning

@SethGannon Sorry, meant unable to attend...

@c0mmunicants Don’t know if you’ve read Blood in the Water about the Attica uprising, but it is excellent

What is a history book you've read and enjoyed? In A Mood and looking for recommendations.

@srfeld @NYCCouncil @KeithPowersNYC @RoryLancman Under a week from tweet to reform is pretty good! Get this case study into some grant applications

Update: the @NYCCouncil passed a bill introduced by @KeithPowersNYC and @RoryLancman to eliminate bail fees at city facilities and online. finesandfeesjusticecenter.org/2019/04/09/nyc…

I paid someone's bail in NY by credit card for the first time and was charged an extra (nonrefundable) processing fee of $70, which is ironic since NY went all the way to the Supreme Court defending its law that prohibits merchants from charging extra for payment by credit card.
