Came home to find my men watching Cats. 8 yo: “This is like what bad people have to watch if they die, I think.”
My kid got all A’s and one B on his report card and is like, “is that ok?” I swear that doesn’t come from his parents.

@mgallo31 @patriottakes Please don’t judge those who follow the words of Jesus with these false people who are manipulating people. They just started getting “religious” lately.
Jesus. Executed.
New: Body camera and cell phone video released today from Grand Rapids police in Michigan shows when an officer fatally shot Patrick Lyoya, a 26-year-old Black man, in the back of the head at close range as Lyoya was pinned on the ground. huffpost.com/entry/patrick-…
Let’s #GoBolts! Even if that “STARS!!” shout during the anthem was charming
Had @jthalji hummus for the first time in more than two years tonight and forgotten how much I love it.
I decided I wanted to be a journalist in high school. Since then, I’ve dreamed of working at two places: my hometown paper & the NYT. Now, I can say both are true and it feels absolutely unreal 🥲nytco.com/person/mckenna…
It’s officially my last day at @TB_Times, a company I started working for at 19 as an intern from @MedillSchool. I am so thankful for the many, many opportunities afforded me here. And for the amazing journalists I’ve learned from.
It's not just "Don't Say Gay." The Florida Legislature also passed a bill to stop companies from offering diversity/inclusion programs that might "distress" some people. And they specifically cited Disney's inclusion program as one they wanted to stop. #WelcomeToFlorida
This so-called "anti-woke" bill is meant to protect weak minds, hurt feelings and fragile egos. It's a snowflake-protection act. It's also unconstitutional. Government can't tell private businesses what topics they can discuss this way. orlandosentinel.com/opinion/scott-…
Together with @NYTMetro, we’re happy to announce Michael LaForgia (@laforgia_) will take on a new role as investigations editor. Congratulations! nytco.com/press/a-new-in…
Today is my 1st day as editor of @TB_Times state government and politics team. Excited to work w/supremely talented reporters, including @lmower3 @KirbyWTweets @romyellenbogen @langstonitaylor & our new political editor @mahoneysthename. (As well as @MiamiHerald Tally reporters!)
A fun Friday night. Precious even got carried away throwing extra flames. 🔥
Tomorrow, I’m doing a 5K on land (walking most likely) then one on water (regatta). Taking all the good vibes you got
There’s been a lot of news and editor crap to deal with today and I keep seeing mentions of everyone being mad at Jake Gyllenhaal. Someone catch me up.
How about this!👇👇🌮🌮🌮
