Two years ago, I went to him with an idea for what I called a "gymnastics calculator." I didn't even have to convince him to believe in it! He just did! And then it became one of our most successful sports stories of the year. A gymnastics calculator!

Do you sometimes watch the Winter Olympics and think ... who even does these sports?
We analyzed the locations of more than 2,500 training facilities for Winter Olympic sports. Check to see what's near you — and which sports are hard to find.

For nearly a century, @washingtonpost foreign correspondents have been on the frontlines of wars, pandemics, economic crises, civil uprisings and so much more. Washington needs us. The world needs us. If you read us and need us, please watch and share.

Designing sports has been the highlight of my time at The Washington Post and I would be devastated if I was no longer able to do that. It was my dream to work here and I've been lucky to do that for the past 9 years.
I felt inspired to share some of my fav pages #SaveThePost

I've been writing about Maryland education for @postlocal for several years now. Local readers deserve robust *local* coverage that delves into what's happening in their children's classrooms and in their communities. #SaveThePost

Witnesses described Iranian forces gunning down people trying to escape a fire in Rasht on Jan. 8, just one of many acts of brutality carried out by the govt to suppress mass protests

The work of my fearless colleagues on the International Desk is integral to what makes and has made The Post a great newspaper for decades. It is crucial to those of us who report on national security from Washington. @JeffBezos We rise and fall together. #SaveThePost
Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.)
But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.
Despite how difficult this job can be, I am proud to be a foreign correspondent at The Washington Post.

Sports IS the canvas for riveting storytelling …for all of America. Always has been, always will be.

Sports is life. Sportswriting leads to literature. Lardner, Plimpton, Hornby, Hem. Camus wrote about soccer. @WashPost sports in that same league. Tom Boswell, Sally Jenkins, Christine Brennan, Wilbon, Kornheiser, Candace Buckner. I'd hate to see a great heritage diminished.

My @washingtonpost colleagues are some of the most brilliant, bravest journalists I know. Their tireless work makes The Post what it is and makes the world a more informed place.
We need them. And we need these stories — now more than ever.

I’m proud to have spent a dozen years as a @washingtonpost foreign correspondent and editor. The paper has long had some of the best international reporting anywhere around, and that continues to this day. I hope @JeffBezos knows what a treasure it is. #SaveThePost

Update on turmoil at the Washington Post that I’ve been following w @BenMullin: Foreign correspondents at WaPo have sent a letter, a “collective plea,” to owner Jeff Bezos raising alarm over impending staff reductions, which are expected to land hard on international coverage.

Hi @JeffBezos. We will never forget your support for our essential work documenting the war in Ukraine, which still rages. Your wife has called our team “badass beacons of hope.” We risk our lives for the stories our readers demand. Please believe in us and #SaveThePost.

As international correspondents and reporters for the @washingtonpost, we risk our safety to investigate authoritarian governments, report from gang-controlled towns and document evidence of stolen elections. This on-the-ground reporting is more critical than ever. #SaveThePost

@JeffBezos sports are one of the few joys we have left in the world. Our readers want more sports coverage: photos, writing and video that transport them to global stadiums, rinks and ballparks — but especially those in their own city. #SaveThePost

Just wanted to take a minute, for no particular reason whatsoever, and celebrate some of the brilliant work that my @PostSports colleagues have done in recent weeks.
These stories take time and resources. They're also what make The Post so great. All gift links/free to read...

This was maybe one of the most enjoyable projects I’ve worked on. Because it was tricky methodology wise — but also completely silly at heart.
For the methodology people out there (are there methodology people out there?), here’s the thought process:

New from @washingtonpost: The College Football Happiness Rankings ✨
How’d we do it? Precisely zero eye tests & no vibes-based tinkering. Just decades of data, 14 metrics and a formula to compare résumés to determine the fans who should be the happiest.
