You’ll see all sorts of things — maybe unexpected — in my tweet stream. Here’s why.

ICYMI: Ontario tourism officials will light up the Horseshoe Falls in red, white and blue tonight to say “thank you” to the Bills, fans and Visit Buffalo for singing the Canadian national anthem. A fireworks display in the same colors is also planned. buffalonews.com/news/local/a…

The Wall Street Journal’s Gerard Baker on Pope Leo XIV: “He is the one man in the world most of us can look up to.” Eighty-two years after his father landed at Normandy, the American pope drew 800,000 people to the Champs-Élysées and asked Europe to hold together. Washington left the job open, and Leo took it.

BREAKING: Trump's top national security officials met secretly at Camp David on Friday for hours on the Iran war, in a "highly unusual meeting" the administration did not announce, with one official saying "things were decided," per three US officials to Axios. The last comparable meeting was in June 2025, days before Israel went to war with Iran. Vance chaired, with Rubio, Hegseth, Witkoff, CIA Director Ratcliffe and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Caine attending. Asked while his advisers were at Camp David what his next move on Iran would be, Trump said "If I told you, you would have a major story. But you will see."

AI tech bros crashing out about the basics reminds me of something I say each year to prospective Catholics when we get around to moral theology, and that is: The Catholic Church has thought about this stuff so deeply that she knows why you disagree with her better than you do.

Reporter: "What do you say to those who are struggling to afford gas, groceries, diesel?" Trump: You're losers. It's the greatest. If you're struggling in this economy, you're a loser. There's your midterm messaging from the GOP

🚨☣️More details on the Oct 1st pneumonic plague outbreak in Siberia, after a lab accident at a BSL-3 lab. "FSB units accompanying ambulances transporting people who had been in contact with [lab tech] Shipilova for medical examination," as per local news. This is significant. FSB is Russia's domestic security / counterintelligence service, tasked w/implementing the national security of Russia." (Its predecessor was the KGB). This suggests quarantine was not voluntary. It also means Russian authorities are treating the lab accident and plague outbreak as a national security issue, involving a lot more than routine public health.

I have to admit growing up and living as an adult a very short drive from the Falls and Canada, this gesture is hitting me in the feels.

This is a great job by the Sabres.

Why is it people think its ok to constantly try to get introverts out of their comfort zone - but no one is ever trying to get extroverts to shut the fuck up for a little while? 🤔

Am so grateful for all that I’ve learned from Mary Louise over the years — one of the best interviewers in the business. (But also such a lovely human! I remember walking into her office for advice after I had two boys in the span of two years and was trying to figure out life!)

incredibly popular opinion, louder for the virgin nerds in the back, doc! 📢📢📢

Hard to take seriously the philosophers who deny personhood to unborn babies but apply it to AIs.

The worst part of ADHD paralysis is watching the entire day disappear while being painfully aware that the entire day is disappearing. Like, yes brain, I also think we should do something about this. Unfortunately you are the department responsible.

Can’t take credit for this one, but it’s making the rounds w/ pilots & I thought you might like to see it…

We are all familiar with the breezy, authoritative tone of today’s chatbots. When A.I. is used for wartime targeting, it brings a similar feigned omniscience to killing. We must resist deferring to algorithms to decide who lives and who dies. trib.al/HCmqEaa

Some personal news. After 35+ years I have left NPR. It was a bittersweet decision to be sure. I don't know if I'm also exiting public radio entirely but I am launching a content company and we'll see how it goes from there. A sincere thank you to our stations and listeners whose loyalty and financial dedication helped me raise two kids and send them through college. I'd also like to express my deepest appreciation to the hundreds of radio journalists in our system and the organization that represents them, @PMJATweets. The effort they and their stations make everyday is deeply respected. Finally, to my colleagues in the Newscast Unit (NPR's highest rated show!) and across the newsroom, I just completed my decades long fantasy camp. What an amazing group you are. I'm looking forward to the future with my business partner and when I have something to say about our new company, I'll announce it here.
