and y’all need to STOP treating kalshi and polymarket as if they’re The News. they are BETTING platforms, and treating them as if they’re AP or reuters (who they steal their “reporting” from) lends them legitimacy that they did not earn and do not deserve.

My father suffers from PTSD as a result of his time as a 9/11 first responder. Last year while laying in the hospital after an attempt drink himself to death, he told me about a funny thing that happened at Ground Zero. His story inspired a year-long hunt for a lost piece of art. I wrote about it for @vulture edited by @megh_wright vulture.com/article/a-funny-…

Someone once said Milo looks like one of those scrub Pokemon gym leaders who uses only electric types in this set, and it stuck with me

Stacey King idioms still rattle in my head CONSTANTLY to this day, whether I'm at a random game or just in casual conversation. RIP to a Chicago broadcasting legend. He made the Bulls *so* much more fun to watch

The Pope is going to bring back Club Foot
Replying to @byaliceyin
Melissa Conyears Ervin says pope “blessed the entire city.” Her and Guy Chipparoni say Leo name dropped specific streets such as Augusta and Damen and asked how the Bears are doing. Conyears Ervin: “That just shows how smart he is. I was thinking, how does he remember?”

This isn't a new phenomenon, but it is always interesting to see the person who controls this platform and has its most followed account engage with and spread unconfirmed information in the aftermath of a breaking incident.
There is currently no information about the shooter, much less their motive.

Our ex-BuzzFeed team has provided a testimonial to the immigration court about the value of Guan's work and his incredible bravery. I hope that this man - who I am in absolute awe of - is granted the asylum he needs and deserves. You can read more here: hrichina.substack.com/p/man-…

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention site to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many places. He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him. wsj.com/world/china/ice-hold…

A quick update: A few weeks ago, I left my role as Social Media Director at CBS News after a great run navigating 2024 and first chunk of 2025. I learned a lot and am very thankful for the opportunity to work with an incredible team, but it was time for something different🧵

I took a few weeks off, and now I'm on the hunt for what's next. I'm hoping for a role focused on my passions: finding audiences where they are and connecting them to important journalism, developing newsroom strategy, and building up the next generation of audience specialists.

One of my favorite things about George Lowe was he was constantly doing interviews and press stunts donning a full Space Ghost costume. His interview with C-Span is one of my favorites.

Flow was made entirely with Blender and rendered in real time with EEVEE. We didn't use a renderfarm. The final render was done on my PC. There was no compositing, all the colors were tweaked and adjusted using shaders.
