Sometimes when I'm suffering from impostor syndrome I look at this pic of my family's champion cow to remind myself that I am descended from greatness

Weird election night in North Carolina. Trump won, as did Republican judges. But at the same time Democrats won every major executive branch race (governor, AG, superintendent of schools), the only competitive US House race, and even broke the GOP supermajority in the legislature

Logging back on here to say that I was one of the people laid off yesterday. I am so proud of the work we did at @NerdettePodcast and we hope to find it a new home. In the meantime, I'm a soup to nuts producer looking for new opportunities

🥺🥺🥺 Thankful for excellent colleagues & the opportunity to work on such an interesting project!
This week, @GraceTatter finished TWO marathons: Philadelphia 🏃‍♀️ and... "The Gun Machine," an 8-part podcast series on the history of the guns in America. HUGE congrats to her, and to host @AlainStephens, who leaves it all on the field in both information and emotion. (1 of 2)

NEW: @ATFHQ is supposed to regulate the gun industry and protect the American public from gun crime. But the agency often falls short of that mandate. @AlainStephens explains why this is no accident in the latest episode of The Gun Machine with @WBUR: thetr.ac/HhYRE

In the fourth episode of The Gun Machine, @AlainStephen and @GraceTatter go to Springfield, Massachusetts, the birthplace of the firearms industry — where nearly every young person they met had a story about guns. thetr.ac/UmHJT

I spent the past year on a series about how the U.S. was forged by the gun industry. Manufacturing & military might, our obsessions with Westerns, all go back to guns. And we're all invested. @AlainStephens & I dig into the Wild West in Ep 3, out today! wbur.org/podcasts/short-run

Amazon is postponing much of HQ2 in Arlington VA and many of its new hires there are still working largely remote, yet it's about to collect its first tranch of $152 million in taxpayer subsidies from the state of Virginia. @teoarmus: washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…
