Rebecca Smith, who worked at the WSJ for more than 20 years, has died. She was one of the smartest journalists to cover power & utilities. Many of you have read her work (think CA energy crisis, Enron and PG&E). A thread about a reporter I really admired: wsj.com/business/media…

A real privilege to write this. Thank you to @ChristianCaple, @BruceOrwall, @sreidreporter, Luke Esser, Bruce Taylor, and many more for making this possible.

Not surprisingly, @lindseyadler has all the details about the Domingo German situation. wsj.com/sports/basebal…

The worst feeling in the world is when you’re in an Uber and there’s a song that’s playing that you don’t know and you’re really vibing to it and then you hear a lyric that’s like “and that’s why I love you for dying on the cross” and you’re like, oh.

A great day for WSJ Sports. Welcome, Lindsey!

The first excerpt of our new book MESSI vs. RONALDO is in this weekend's @WSJ It's the untold, almost unbelievable story of how Nike had both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at the dawn of their careers—and let Messi get away. By @JoshRobinson23 and me: wsj.com/articles/how-n…

@paranoiacs All YFF records are underrated. Sittin' On a Pitchfork

This is true: the Young Fresh Fellow's 'Electric Bird Digest' is one of the great rock records of the 90's.

@danielas_bot It's true, I don't know any Stones songs

It makes you think!

I sat down with Kylian Mbappé to discuss a lifetime spent becoming a star, the 22 World Cup, the Messi/Ronaldo era, and what exactly Qatar is doing with PSG. “It’s as if he was born to be where he is today,” says Arsène Wenger. For the cover of @WSJMag: wsj.com/articles/kylia…

@kevbryantauthor my Foch.

For the first time, my colleague @louiseradnofsky writes what it was like to test Covid-positive at the Beijing Olympics. Her harrowing experience of indefinite detention is now playing out among millions of Chinese people. wsj.com/articles/testi…

What the WSJ's @louiseradnofsky went thru during the Olympics in China was a closely-kept secret only a few of us in Beijing were privy to. Until now. (She's incredible. She covered the entire figure skating debacle as this whole drama was happening!) wsj.com/articles/testi…

The greatest performance I've seen this year was @louiseradnofsky reporting through Covid in zero-Covid China. Read this: wsj.com/articles/testi…

All of the ‘zero-Covid’ policies that have locked down China for weeks and even months at a time were on display when Beijing hosted the 2022 Olympic Games. I know, because I tested positive there. wsj.com/articles/testi… via @WSJ

If you're wondering whether @wetlegband has any cred with the rock snobs, @davespazz just dropped 'Chaise Lounge' into a set alongside T Rex, Gene Vincent and Jerry Lee Lewis on @wfmu. So that's settled.

This was one amazing hour or so of radio

Baseball has been waiting to see how Steve Cohen would apply his hedge fund background to the Mets. Now we can see it for the first time — a bunch of his Point72 executives have second jobs working in baseball. Great scoop by Juliet Chung and @jareddiamond

@vauhinivara Wow Vauhini!

@jasongay Using r.e.m. against me, that's a new low
