If we're talking about Chuck Norris today due to his passing, remembering the greatest Conan bit of all time — the Walker Texas Ranger Lever — needs to be part of the conversation youtube.com/watch?v=uEzIZz…

@KarenAttiah This goes without being said but I’ll clarify: there are a gaggle of media reporters who are Post alums & often write about us. I asked and received permission from my colleague to share this sentiment on not enough acknowledgment of our great journalism. Period.
Olivia Petersen@LivPetersen

Want to set record straight: this was re: today's piece by former Post reporter Paul Farhi with the quote "if there's an obit of The Post." It was truly & only intended as a reminder we're still doing great journalism. Nothing more. washingtonian.com/2026/03/19/wil… x.com/LivPetersen/st…

👀Overheard in our newsroom just now: I'm so over formers continuing to write our "obituary" (air quote) when I can turn on TV, check any news channel and see us and our reporting. Case in point. (points to nearby TV with MS NOW showing last night's drone scoop)

@megbasham Folks who've never done real investigative reporting -- or weren't on the inside of the actual investigation they're commenting on -- often don't understand how long investigative journalism can take. Especially when it's a story that has been deeply buried for decades. 1/

@BigMeanInternet All that springs to mind is how Truman Capote in his prime commanded something like $10k-$20k per New Yorker story (or more)? And Carrie telling her friends she negotiated $4/word at Vogue.

If this sounds like a lot of money then try to imagine how many of these stories you think you could pitch, report, write, edit, publish, and get paid for in a year and multiply it by 8K and tell me if it's a good annual income for the top level of magazine writers

@viajoshhunt I think it's more the fact you can command $2/word when the rest of us would get laughed out of the room?

Futurism went through this, too, when in 2018, we flipped on the core audience ("Elon-worshipping incels" was one go-to description) to do real news. The then-CEO hated it. And yet! Before: Lost money, nobody read it. Now: Makes money, wins awards, widely read. NEWS MATTERS.

NEW: Wired’s editor Katie Drummond said it added 200k new paid subs last year. She told me: “If you still don’t understand why Wired covers politics, you are either willfully ignorant or a complete idiot.” nytimes.com/2026/03/17/bus…

It only takes one man, apparently, to a) attract political support for women living under misogyny and b) kill the Buffy reboot.

Absolutely sick to death of hearing about how the new @louistheroux documentary has made people think about attitudes to women. Lots of MPs jumping on the bandwagon. I mean, no disrespect to Louis - I’m grateful for the highlight - but for God’s sake… Women get killed by their partner every week. Tiny Man Tate has been a thing for years. Domestic violence shelters are overwhelmed. Women have been waving the red flags about incels and attitudes for years. We’ve been begging for change. We’ve been highlighting the serious threat of anti-women social media. Then a MAN makes a documentary and suddenly everyone’s interested? Do you not all think that this might be part of the problem?

The problem here is Richard conflates NYT saying they will print he "declined to answer their questions" with printing he "declined to comment." It was the former that @NYTLiz said would run. That would be accurate and truthful, while the latter would not. Precision matters.

Elizabeth Williamson isn’t a journalist. She is a left wing hack who lies about Republicans. All the time. I’m not falling for her agenda-drive tactics. I’m exposing her. Here is the text exchange I just had with her proving she lies. @NYTLiz should be fired. Can you imagine putting in writing that you will just say I declined the comment because you don’t like my comment? The New York Times should launch an investigation into her previous work.

Reporters aren’t obligated to publish rude, non-responsive, bad-faith replies.

It's so weird to me that people keep posting exchanges like this and thinking they come off well... Like, congrats, you were rude to a reporter politely asking to hear your thoughts? Is that really such an impressive dunk?

@maxwelltani Probably has $1M in 401k and it went up 25%, so they are calling that "income" of $250K.
