A nice story about my mom in today’s @freep written by @SloneTerranella “Shirley Seals, longtime speech therapist at Detroit Public Schools, dies at 86.” freep.com/story/news/obi…

Obsessed with this Michigan gas station that lists coffee prices next to fuel price

The older they get, the more they seem to appreciate what they took from each other. Not many drivers can say they pushed each other to levels like Max and Lewis did.

I'm glad I could take one for the team with @nbcsnl on summer break Thanks for the memes, internet! Hope you'll stick around for the reporting 🙇‍♀️

This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen….for real. It’s a hour and it made me laugh the entire time Brilliant concept and perfectly executed

Just one day after ending "The Late Show" on CBS, Stephen Colbert returned to TV — to host a public access show with rocker Jack White in Monroe, Michigan. Appearances by Jeff Daniels, Eminem and Steve Buscemi.

@EstebanwithanR Nice job! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

What a week this week has been

Take a minute to remember Rob today. He brought beauty and compassion into the world. RIP, friend, colleague, newsman. azcentral.com/story/news/ari…

A nicely done obituary for Rob Schumacher today. Still sadden and shocked on his passing. He was such a kind and helpful person to many in our small community of photojournalists. azcentral.com/story/news/ari…

Right?? I keep going on their site every few hours to see if they’ve done a nice obituary for Rob but nothing. Hoping tomorrow it’ll be in there.

might change my name to Wemby’s and only serve french fries after last night’s game

@jeffmetcalfe It’s such hard and sad news to read. Many of us Gannett photographers did Olympics with Rob like this in ‘18 in South Korea. Such a talented and nice guy 🙏🏾

Losing Rob is devastating to all who know him well

Covered Olympics with the great Rob Schumacher going back to at least 2000 ... this photo is from 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics ... we did a lengthy project with Pat Shanahan in 2016 on Arizona Olympians that was among my favorites during my years at Phoenix Gazette/Arizona Republic

Saddened to learn of the passing of Rob Schumacher. Between his decades of photojournalism at @azcentral and @USAToday to his work shooting seven Super Bowls and 11 Olympic games, no one was better suited to tell Arizona’s story. Rest in peace, Rob. We will miss you. azcentral.com/picture-galler…

Rob Schumacher was a legend. I worked many Olympics and other big assignments with him and everyone was an adventure. Incredible combination of hustle + talent. What a loss.

Praying for family of local media legend who left us today. Rob Schumacher took so many photos at big events. And when he had one he knew I would like he would send to me with note saying “thought you would like this one” I liked them all. RIP helluva photographer and good man

@mr_danascott Oh how sad 🙏🏾 I worked with Rob at various Olympics on the Gannett photo team. Always so nice, willing to help and go that extra mile for everyone he worked with. He will be missed.

I’m absolutely heartbroken about learning that one of the Arizona Republic’s photographers, Rob Schumacher, has passed away. Gutted. Despondent. Much of my work for the past eight years at that newspaper had his photo artwork. May he rest in peace …

How many cats should you have??

Teams and leagues don't get to choose when reporters report news. The idea that @ShamsCharania did wrong by spoiling some great surprise, particularly from other media people, honestly, shows a fundamental lack of understanding for what reporters do.

I just had the craziest experience at the airport. We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight. Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.” Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess. The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.” He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.” Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate… Start clapping. I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message. All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest. It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time. @Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.
