"Can I give you a high five?" Charlotte wins over @dbacks @ArchieBradley7 (thx for saying yes!) at #DbacksFanFest

La foto de la derrota. La sección de deportes del Washington Post es eliminada mientras cuatro periodistas llegaban a su set en el centro de prensa en Milán para contar los Juegos de Invierno. Se han enterado de su despido al otro lado del mundo. 📸 Chris Jones / CBC

The @WashPost has now laid off its Asia editor, its New Delhi bureau chief, its Sydney bureau chief, its Cairo bureau chief, the entire Middle East reporting team, China correspondents, Iran correspondents, Turkey correspondents, and many more. The world is becoming less America-centric by the minute while the United States is becoming more America-centric than ever. It is just a depressing yet somehow perfect summation of our current moment that one of the most important newspapers in the history of the country - one that has actually shaped the history of the United States - doesn't think reporting on the world is of any use anymore. What an utterly perfect encapsulation of where we have arrived.

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

Sitting at my son’s 15U baseball tournament down in Ahwatukee (Arizona) and it’s not an exaggeration to say that every kid and parent here is talking about @camskattebo5 and hoping for a speedy recovery. Lots of love coming from his home state. #NYGiants #skattebo #sundevils

@tswiftstorenews Earrings, necklace and Stanley all sold out in under 10 minutes. But I am sure I’ll be seeing tons of options on the resale sites. 😡

yay merch!!

@kiyahwillis Thank you for being a voice of reason.

The government threatening social media platforms during COVID was wrong AND The government threatening ABC for Jimmy Kimmel’s statements was wrong See how easy it is to not be a hypocrite?

Love to see this from a former @TCUFootball Frog! WTG, Q! #TCU #chargersvschiefs

TCU DOMINATES UNC IN BILL BELICHICK'S DEBUT 😮 48 points is the most allowed by any Belichick-coached team ever.

Can’t. Wait. #riffram #GoFrogs

@azc_obert It’s that weird zip (85254) that is in the City of Phoenix, but has a Scottsdale mailing address. It’s also part of Paradise Valley Unified School District. Cross streets at 56th Street and Greenway. I went to school there in the late 1980s (graduated in 1992.) Hella confusing.

Where is Horizon High School located? Some say Phoenix. But it's school address says Scottsdale

See you next era

Rest easy, old friend.

@MattGlenesk @gracieabrams Yep. True.

@gingerdawnrough @gracieabrams They don’t see you as fans. They see you as customers. Plain and simple.

Sorry, @gracieabrams but you should NOT be charging $120 for a freakin’ hoodie. Or $85 or even $70. My daughter loves you and is excited to see you in concert, but that’s beyond ridiculous. This kind of price gouging won’t serve you well in the long run.

@publiceyestl @missypinkerton Agree with Missy. Those do not pass muster! 🤮

@missypinkerton @gingerdawnrough I am agnostic. Someone eats it; I post it.

Posting the #NachoWatcho over here, too, because @gingerdawnrough is watching.

@taylornation13 Vibing to Shake it Off since she was barely able to walk!

That’s our whole world ✨

Posted Monday. And yet, today, no official reaction from any of our former U.S. Presidents about @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @ZelenskyyUa public Oval Office meeting.

Some fans had been in line since 12:30 a.m. 😳 Saturday at @WMPhoenixOpen is officially underway!

I’m heartbroken to share that my friend Capt. Rebecca Lobach died in Wednesday evening’s crash near DC’s National Airport. Rebecca was brilliant and fearless, a talented pilot and a PT stud. We trained and commissioned together from @UNCArmyROTC, and we had a lot of fun along the way, too. We were both latecomers to the ROTC program, enrolling partway through the third year, and quickly bonded over being the new kids on the block. Rebecca and I were in a training platoon together by coincidence during summer basic camp at Fort Knox in 2018. On “branch day,” when the cadets got to explore the different Army officer career paths, she and I were walking together through a field where a bunch of helicopters were parked. She was a few feet in front of me when she stopped, turned, and pointed out an MH-6 Little Bird (an incredibly small helicopter!). She shot me a mischievous smile and said something like, “Think we can both fit?” My dear readers: I am 6’6”, and Rebecca (a former college basketball player) is at least 5’8”. But I’ll be damned if we didn’t somehow stuff ourselves into that cockpit. My neck hurt, and I don’t think we would’ve been able to fly it very well, but we were both beaming in the selfie she took. Our Linda’s Downbar trivia team — Two Man, Two Woman Wolfpack — was rarely victorious but was never defeated. “Not Last!” was our team motto. We sucked at the music round because all four of us had identical taste. Rebecca played a crucial role in helping me navigate the hardest periods of my personal life. Our friend group sustained me and kept me engaged when every fiber of my being wanted to just go numb to this world. I owe her so much. We stayed in touch after she commissioned as an active duty Black Hawk pilot, and I as an HR officer in the NC Army National Guard. After I went into journalism, she would call me when I wrote a funny or interesting story. I wish we’d taken a photo together when we had lunch a year ago. I wish I’d remembered to invite her to a party I hosted a week ago. I wish she weren’t dead. You are so missed, Rebecca. This world won’t be the same without you.
