In September, I had the idea for @BusinessInsider to make a Google form asking older Americans to share their biggest life regrets. I expected to get 100-200 responses. I did not expect it to pull in 2,600 (and for another 1,000+ to email us). businessinsider.com/retirement-reg…

Thank you to everyone I spoke with who were brave enough to share their stories with our readers. Thank you to @bartielouscott, @EmilyCanal, and @AndyKiersz for guiding us through this monster of a project. Special thanks to @JamieHeller for all the support during this process.

New rule: we make editors go report in the field at least once a year. I personally ride or die for my direct editors but some newsroom leaders haven't left the walls of their newsroom in 10+ years and it shows

@mariaaspan congratulations, maria!! so exciting <3

@bartielouscott @LqLana @BusinessInsider Sure

Ron DeSantis constantly picks fights he either loses or has to give up. The nonprofit public records watchdog, The Florida Center for Government Accountability, sued the state of Florida. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Department of Health denied for two years that detailed COVID-19 data relating to 2021 infections and vaccines existed. Now Florida’s little fascist has agreed to settle and finally disclose COVID data on its site and pay attorneys fees for “attempting to circumvent state public records law.” So while Florida was being ravaged by COVID DeSantis and his hand-picked crew downplayed the threat. While COVID ravaged Florida not only did DeSantis hide data and downplay the virus, he and his family/friends were first in line for the vaccine. Typical Republican. #FreshWords

@DanielleNorgedm @RonDeSantis Hi @danielleNorgedm! I'm writing a story for @BusinessInsider about rising costs of homeowners insurance. Would you be willing to chat with me this week? bscott@insider.com

@RonDeSantis I regret voting for you three times. I should have voted for Putnam in the primary. Then Trump endorsed you. Btw, my auto & homeowners insurance increased 50% this year.

Terrorists have murdered at least 1,200 Israelis and 22 Americans and are holding more hostage, so it is absurd that anyone, much less someone running for President, would choose now to attack our friend and ally, Israel, much less praise Hezbollah terrorists as “very smart.” As President, I will stand with Israel and treat terrorists like the scum that they are.

@mattr777 @LqLana Hi @mattr777! I'm writing a story for @BusinessInsider about rising homeowners insurance costs. Would you be able to chat with me this week? bscott@insider.com

@LqLana On top of it all my homeowners insurance went up 100% this year while he’s out speaking at Qanon events.

@deebosghost Hi @deebosghost I'm writing a story for @BusinessInsider about rising homeowners insurance costs. Would you be able to chat with me this week or refer a friend who saw their costs rise in recent years? bscott@insider.com

@corrieleech @StateFarm hi Corrie! I'm writing a story for @thisisinsider about rising homeowners insurance costs. Would you be willing to chat with me this week? bscott@insider.com

@TinaEdelDe @Travis_in_Flint hi @TinaEdelDe ! i'm writing a story for @thisisinsider about homeowners insurance costs going up -- would you be willing to chat with me this week? bscott@insider.com

@Travis_in_Flint And our homeowners insurance premiums and property taxes are through the roof as well 😢

@BenjaminAlcorn hey @BenjaminAlcorn i'm writing a story about homeowners insurance costs going up -- would you be willing to chat with me this week? bscott@insider.com

My homeowners insurance renews every November. It doubled last year. They want to double it again this year. It has gone up 500% in 5 years. You may not want to believe it, but the fact is the Republican leadership in Florida is responsible for this problem.

For a @BusinessInsider story, I'm looking to chat with people whose bosses are trying too hard to make staff feel welcomed/comfortable in the workplace (think axe throwing nights staff don't want to go to). Feel free to reach me at nsheidlower@insider.com (we can grant anonymity)

@skyegould we'll miss you skye -- you and your team did such great work for insider, making our stories more interesting and engaging. sending good vibes your way

Devastated to say after 9 years (my entire career thus far) I have been laid off from Insider this morning, along with so many of my talented colleagues. I really am in shock right now and I appreciate any good vibes sent my way today.

Somehow I missed my feral era, but the latest from @julianamkaplan really struck a chord
