@TomBurtonWSJ thanks Tom!

I know @DevlinBarrett too -- he's a former colleague -- and I guarantee this book will be terrific.

@shaneharris @jdawsey1 "Why are you leaving me? Is it the Doritos, or the nerf football, or the constant assault upon the senses?" I asked. "Yes," Shane replied. -end scene-

My ex-work husband (it's ok, we're still friends and share custody of @jdawsey1) has a book coming out, and you should definitely read it. @DevlinBarrett knows this beat better than anyone. axios.com/2026/03/04/sne…

Now it's on again!

@jdawsey1 The only thing questionable about red Mountain Dew is how often you should alternate with Baja Blast Mountain Dew

Great item on my friend @DevlinBarrett's new book. Devlin is a wonderful reporter and colleague (albeit one with questionable tastes for Red Mt. Dew and other gross food.) Can't wait to read. Is my quota now reached for compliments about Devlin in 2026? axios.com/2026/03/04/sne…

Losing a job sucks but it is only a job. The real value of any work lies in honor, honesty and integrity. I was lucky to have worked @washingtonpost until 2024… “And as the sunset came to meet the evening on the hill, I told you I’d always love you, I always did, I always will”

NEW: For the first time, the story of the 17 year old girl who testified that she had sex with Matt Gaetz for money. She was living in and out of a homeless shelter. She was working at McDonald's. She had just finished her junior year in high school. And she wanted extra money to try to save up to pay for braces to fix her teeth. nytimes.com/2025/11/13/us/…

Larry Brooks was, in my opinion, the greatest hockey writer in New York history. No one in his field knew the game, its players, its people, its heartbeat, its system, its CBA and most importantly its soul than Brooksie. A truly deserving Hall of Famer. Huge loss for hockey. RIP.
