Many years ago, I had a conversation with a journalism friend who had won a prestigious fellowship. He mentioned that his then-employer seemingly wasn't happy for him; the gist was that he was getting the recognition, not his employer, and that didn't sit well. 1/

Lessons are being learned now. Christ Licht is out of a job and Elon Musk is out a shit ton of money and both are missing chunks of reputation and dignity. If the plan is to lift post-fact horseshit and intolerance from the gutter and mainstream it? You're in the gutter yourself.

I keep typing and untyping tweets about Eric Adams. What a bleak situation. His fate really ought to mimic what happened to Lori Lightfoot
