My last tweet of the evening. If you care about about great journalism, please stop the “”I’ve canceled my subscription” thing. The @washingtonpost newsroom is a remarkable asset. There are questions around it but Cameron Barr is someone to trust. Just take a deep breath.

Um, oversees rather than overseas, which is the work he edited of mine.

All I know about the bylines is that if I got a call from @gregpmiller and he had concerns about the ethics of decisions I’ve made I would have two reactions: ok, he’s fair and ethical and wow he’ll find out everything. He’s the most complete, honest journalist I’ve worked with.

What a great choice. One of the finest editors of his generation - cliche alert - but in this case truly deserved - fair, honest and so meticulous. So proud to have worked with him. I will trust the work he overseas. You all should.

An overlooked Maui community realizes ‘no one is coming to save you’ from the great @ReisThebault wapo.st/3SyEDpM

An overlooked Maui community realizes ‘no one is coming to save you’

A dedicated group of neighbors has tried to fill the breach left by government agencies stretched thin after successive, cascading natural disasters on Maui.

Just finished Burn Coast by the great @DaleMaharidge. Vivid, spell-binding portrait of people and places at the edge of our continent and a clear-eyed elegy for the end of an era and ethos. Glad I didn’t read it before I tried to write about Humboldt; I would never have tried.

And a ship wreck - or a 30-foot sloop wreck - even before the main event. This one looks pretty derelict so probably had it coming in any storm swell.

Interesting story from my backyard... Pictures may offer a rare glimpse of a baby great white shark wapo.st/4bbFoO1 I wrote about this young (though no possible newborns) shark population a few years ago. washingtonpost.com/nation/20…

Pictures may offer a rare glimpse of a baby great white shark

The footage is stirring up excitement tinged with skepticism among experts eager to solve one of the ocean’s greatest mysteries.

Very smart @emmanuelfelton story: Black Americans aren’t enthusiastic about reparations yet. Here’s why. wapo.st/3HBCx3y

Black Americans aren’t enthusiastic about reparations yet. Here’s why.

California reparations advocates are facing an unexpected hurdle: deep skepticism from the very people their proposals are designed to help — Black residents

that will extend beyond their terms of incarceration (and vastly widened my own reading interests.) But the expansion has increased the burn rate of the money I raised in 2022 to fund this project. So I’m asking you here to support a new round of funding to keep this going.

Yes, there is a “who’s saving whom” element to this project, which makes it personal to me. But I believe it has brought some joy to dozens of men who have participated in the group and a lasting sense of the magic found in great writing, whether read or written by the men
