@john_jastremski I'm Brooklyn-born, been living abroad for 20 years, and for as long as there's been a New York, New York pod, it's been a lifeline to all my local teams. Absolutely gutted to hear the news, but can't wait to follow along wherever you wind up next

@ChrisRyan77 @andygreenwald @thewatchpod Help! You guys have raved about a novelist writing contemporary spy thrillers full of modern spycraft and current geopolitics, but I can't remember his name. Any help?

@thepressboxpod Isn't a stingy defense one that, by definition, "bends but doesn't break"?

@bryancurtis Is it just me or do Musburger and the Larry O'Brien trophy have better chemistry than Doris Burke and Richard Jefferson?

@thewatchpod Are there any old bits you guys ever feel like dusting off and dropping into the pod, the way Your Friends and Neighbors occasionally remembers to use the Jon Hamm voiceover?

@ShawnRobbinsWho I was hoping I could pick your brain for a box office story I'm working on for Variety. Can you DM me your email address? Thanks!

@SPOEK_MATHAMBO Hey! Great to connect with you here -- I'm a huge fan. I'll DM my email info

Hi @postcardjunky, hope you're doing well! I've got some SA film updates to share. Would you be open to exploring more via DM or email?

@MonicaLMarks Thank you for reminding me why I'm still on X. This was amazing

If bizarre kitsch, affordable fun & ethnographic rollercoasters are your thing (as they are mine), then you should know about Global Village, #1 on my list of weirdly awesome attractions to see in Dubai. I revisited it tonight & thought I'd bring folks along for the ride:

@thepressboxpod Buried in this fantastic @wired piece is an account of a secretive Abu Dhabi spymaster's "charm offensive," an only-in-journalism phrase reserved for the actions of Arab despots and tech moguls. wired.com/story/uae-inte…

@thepressboxpod Strained pun alert

@thepressboxpod Is referring to himself and David as "old hands" Bryan's example of an only-in-journalism phrase that's also only applied to journalists?

This is insanity. Calling for the evacuation of a whole city is a first since this war started. Aside from what this means in terms of hell for people, Baalbek is a historic city with the largest Roman temple still standing in the world.

SNY trolling @john_jastremski by making him sit on the LA side

@BPGPressGuild @janemartinson @Jake_Kanter @sophwilkinson I guess I was supposed to receive a Zoom link, but I never got one. Damn.

@BPGPressGuild @janemartinson @Jake_Kanter @sophwilkinson Help! I've logged into my account, retrieved my ticket, clicked on the link...but I don't see any video, just the page with the description of the event. So bummed I'm missing this!

@thepressboxpod In the movie version of NBA Insider Wars, does Shams break the news of Woj's retirement before Woj himself?

@ChrisRyan77 Is Henry Winkler vs. a tornado you spoiling the plot of Twisters 3?

I dug into the complete unraveling of Greece's Oscar selection process in my latest for @Variety

@thepressboxpod Is comparing the denizens of the DNC convention's Axios House to the pretty things at Soho House the greatest compliment you could pay a political reporter, or the biggest insult?
