Find the positive in every situation. Laugh heartily and let your worries fade away. Create joy in every day you live. Choose love in every fleeting moment.

This is what journalism is supposed to do!
BREAKING: Andrew Milne has been arrested. From @syptweet: "Detectives investigating allegations linked to the purchase and sale of freeholds in Sheffield have arrested a man on suspicion of fraud and blackmail."

AMAZING piece. Well worth the price of a subscription. This sort of BS will flourish without dedicated investigative outlets like @theglasgowbell
❓You’ve got empty offices and a tax bill of a million pounds. A charity with a cockney self-described millionaire director says it can help. What do you do next?

After three years off this platform, I'm back on because of what's happened at @washingtonpost and what we're trying to do about it at @CityCast_DC. We're going to start hiring journalists immediately to make sure DC continues to have great, useful, ambitious local journalism...

The Washington Post cuts would be a tad more tolerable if the people who ran it into the ditch over the past three years were given the sack along with journalists covering sports, books, foreign, and metro. But no, Will Lewis, survives.

What's the case for maintaining your Washington Post subscription? Seriously, a lesser newspaper in every way for the same price. Convince me.

People not in the Epstein files: - drag queens - transgender athletes - librarians - Black journalists - “radical leftist scum” - hungry family needing SNAP benefits - workers on strike - the cast of Sesame Street

It’s utter shite, but this week The Morning Show used my all-time favorite plot device: Well, actually, I DO speak this foreign language.

I still can’t believe I got to make an episode of Decoder Ring on my favorite topic : teeth! Specifically, why do Americans bad-mouth British teeth? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Thanks to hyper-talented (and hyper-patient) producer Evan Chung, world’s best podcaster (and pal) @willapaskin, and all the amazing guests.

And for the record, I love my American dentists—not a lot of authors thank their dentists in the acknowledgments of their book, but I did!
