A truly incredible and historic day in Toledo. Vincent Mauri — a 25-year-old former college runner from Warren, Ohio — does not have a coach or a sponsor or even a long-distance pedigree. He had never run a half marathon, let alone a full one. On a Sunday for the ages at the Glass City Marathon, he ran one of the greatest races in American history. Mauri did not just break the GCM record by ... more than 13 minutes, or obliterate the Ohio marathon record, too. He became the fourth American ever to break 2:06.

El nuevo video de Ringo Starr es verdaderamente extraordinario. ¿Cuántas referencias a su vida pueden identificar? LONG LONG ROAD ♥️

A heartbreaking day for Dan's family and those of us lucky enough to work with him. He was brilliant, an uproariously funny deskmate, a superb editor and reporter and maybe a wee bit manic. He had everyone's back. Blessings on him; he left too young. washingtonpost.com/obituarie…

BEST of the best! Congrats Travis. Great move by the AJC.

Great look at Will Lewis and the “legacy of ashes” he leaves behind at The Washington Post.

Been at ESPN a long time - this one was an all timer. Before social media, it was as viral as a story can be. I watched it on a tape in the news room. I couldn’t stop watching his teammates.

Happy Evan Turner day to those who celebrate. It was 16 years ago today when @thekidet hit the mid court dagger vs Michigan

ESPN just hired 6 former Washington Post sports reporters: @benjstrauss, @ChuckCulpepper1, @kareemcopeland, @kentbabb, @RobertKlemko, @Tom_Schad thewrap.com/media-platforms/…

Wow. Amazon spent roughly $3.5 million an acre for this land.

Studies show that when local news outlets stop scrutinizing government, efficiency drops. Public payrolls bloat. Waste increases. The cost gets passed to you—roughly $85 in added taxes per person after a county loses one of its last few papers. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

I'm working at a coffee shop today and am currently watching an older gentleman read the print edition of the Wall Street Journal and mark each story with a checkmark after he finishes it. Long live print

Love seeing this.

Readers don’t need sports. But he does.

I often refrain from saying anything here that I’ve already seen posted or reposted by someone else. So while I was tempted yesterday to say it was the worst day of my nearly 18 years at The Post, it had already been said - and said well by many others. But today, for the record, since there is not one mention of it in the print edition delivered to my home in the nation’s capital: leaders at The Washington Post yesterday laid off 300 journalists. They closed bureaus around the globe, leaving fewer eyes on vital power centers and hostile regimes. They vastly shrunk our ability to cover the District of Columbia and the surrounding area. They abandoned the coverage of sports teams central to the region’s identity and at a time when upheaval and online sports gambling has become pervasive. They fired a stunning number of talented colleagues who make sense of the world around us in technology, business, education, climate, health and more. They fired journalists who take and select photos, edit video, produce audio, sketch graphics and who conceive and create other forms of digital story telling. They fired Pulitzer winning investigative reporters who spent the last year writing about the growing political influence of billionaires and dedicated editors and unsung heroes who every day save our copy from errors. It was, by any metric, a Washington Post-worthy news story, a story of gross corporate fiscal mismanagement, of a loss of independent media - of the buckling, critics would say; “restructuring,”  Post leaders would say - of an American institution. In the newsroom, there are goodbyes to come for so many journalists I’ve been proud to call colleagues. Sadly, it was not a one-day story, readers will soon see.
