There are a lot of things that can be said, but honestly, only one thing is necessary. Bye, y'all. See you on Insta and on Mastodon. chuckpearson.wordpress.com/2…

What Twitter was, what Twitter could have been, what Twitter is

As much as I tried to resist the end, I had a breaking point, and the breaking point was this. The tweet just had it all – it was a remarkable intersection of bullying, malicious, and callous…

I have not been watching or tweeting anything about this #WorldCup because too many migrant workers died in Qatar to make it possible. The news of Grant Wahl’s death while covering the tournament is awful and I send condolences to all who loved him. espn.com/espn/story/_/id/352…

U.S. soccer journalist Wahl dies at 48 in Qatar

I am so thankful for the support of my husband @GrantWahl's soccer family & of so many friends who've reached out tonight. I'm in complete shock.

Generous of spirit, a peerless journalist, #grantwahl did more to inform and explain and celebrate the beautiful game than any other American. Ever. Full stop. His loss is incalculable to our profession. Prayers for his family.

Since putting this account on private I'm not threading quizbowl results here anymore. We did run a tournament on Saturday in Castlewood, VA, though, and I have completed a full recap of the tournament. It goes on Instagram now. instagram.com/p/Cl4Q_gqPTRD/

On my position being endowed, on being called "distinguished." Another piece of evidence that I'm where I'm supposed to be. chuckpearson.wordpress.com/2…

Distinguished

Seeing this statement in print is absolutely surreal: I didn’t set out in this gig to be distinguished anything. There’s only one goal I’ve ever had in doing this stuff that I do …

The other home news of the day. So many people have worked so hard to bring this day to reality. It comes with the big sigh of relief. Roll on 2032. x.com/Tusculum_Univ/status/1…

One year ago we lost A. These are the most coherent thoughts I have on the year that's passed since. chuckpearson.wordpress.com/2…

One year

I wish I had coherent thoughts to share on the awful anniversary of losing A. This is a thing that reshapes the calendar. Instead of the arbitrary end of year that we define, now there’s this very …

Person is accused of 10. Person denies 10, insists 0 happened. Evidence of 10 emerges. Person finally tearfully confesses to 5. This is treated as a spiritual victory and maturity on part of accused. 5 is literally never true. Don’t believe the second story.
