Bill Walsh

A conundrum still causing enough discussion that this Post piece quotes @TheSlot from a 2016 online chat. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2023… (sent by @JDLand)

It's @jdland here, tweeting as @theslot (RIP) to keep his account and the archive of his brilliance active.

Happy congratulations from Mrs. TheSlot to Annalee Hubbs, this year's winner of the Bill Walsh Scholarship, administered by the ACES Education Fund. aceseditors.org/news/2020/upho… @JDLand

If you think singular "their" is contentious, try translating that debate to a language in which plural nouns must have genders too. Fascinating piece by @schmidtsam7... and I wish @TheSlot were still around to discuss it. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2019/…

I think we all know exactly what @TheSlot would have thought of this.

Deadline is Nov. 15 to apply for the ACES Bill Walsh scholarship or any of the five other scholarship offerings. Pass along to any college-level aspiring news editors you know! @copyeditors aceseditors.org/awards/scholar…

Hire a professional writer. It makes all the difference.

{Fixing} It's the library Bill left behind, which I gave to the Post to keep his passion for editing close at hand at the place where he worked for 20 years. Also, a piece he wrote about this library of his, along with a wider shot, though still not the entire thing. @JDLand

Photos from #ACES2019, showing Mrs. TheSlot @JDLand and this year's Bill Walsh Scholarship winner @nancylcoleman, along with what will be a traditional offering to each winner, so that they can learn from the master and get to know him through his writing. Pics by @hfuhrmann

Congratulations to @nancylcoleman for winning the Bill Walsh Scholarship! She and our other incredible scholarship recipients have joined us at the banquet, and Nancy shares her first #editing experience. #ACES2019

Don't be alarmed, it's just Mrs. TheSlot retweeting this. And thank you again to everyone who has contributed to the Walsh Scholarship Fund, or plans to: aceseditors.org/awards/scholar… #ACES2019

@fuzzygreysocks (Psst: @theslot isn't Jezebel's Twitter handle)

Interesting PoVs: theslot.jezebel.com This is #EXACTLY why I encourage exploration & understanding of differing (not exclusively opposing, which would be too simplistic) perspectives. Although, I will admit I fail to understand the rabidness of much of @theslot's reporting.
