When people ask me about my hobbies

I remember the first time Marty remembered my name when he made his nightly rounds walking around the old newsroom. It was the first time I felt like I was actually part of the club.

I still want an explanation for why we called it the third newsroom.

If I was the captain of a premier league team, I just wouldn’t kick another player in the shin. #COYS

I was laid off today, among hundreds of others at The Washington Post. I loved covering games here, and I am so proud of our international coverage. My colleagues — those who lost their jobs and those who didn't — are rockstars. It was such an honor to work alongside them.

If I can ever be of help to my friends at The Post, my DMs are open.

If you read one piece about The Washington Post today, read this: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

From Ashley Parker for The Atlantic: "The Post was also how I fell in love with journalism." I was an avid reader of KidsPost. Back of Style, next to the comics. It's how I built a habit for reading and a love for the news. Feeling for my hometown paper today. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning. Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...

There’s no need to find the words. Marty found them.

So many incredible journalists got laid off today. Heroes, mentors, friends. Just an absolutely devastating day. Starting a thread here with some of their incredible work, and how to follow and support them.

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

For what it’s worth, @washingtonpost.com broke this story www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

I left The Post in November after 10 years. So, I don’t want to speak for my friends there. The newsroom is filled with incredible, hard-working journalists and The Post is lucky to have them.

"As of Saturday evening, the family said they had still not heard from anyone at a federal law enforcement agency about their son’s death."

Here’s a starter pack of @startribune.com journalists on Bluesky

ICE's latest victim has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, 37. He reportedly has no serious criminal history, is licensed to carry a gun and has an active nursing license. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

There’s video floating around. You don’t want to watch it. News feed will be updated continuously. No paywall. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Witnesses say a man was shot by a federal agent in south Minneapolis this morning. The Minnesota Star Tribune is on the scene: www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

So, you’re telling me Spurs are a goal down against a team that’s bound to be relegated? And the team’s veteran just got carted off the field?

A clear and appalling sign that this administration will set no limits on its acts of aggression against an independent press. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

This is an outrage. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec... Read @hannahnatanson.bsky.social's work: * www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int... * www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... * www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Pickleball is the table tennis of today and 70 years from now the next Timothee will star in a stressful movie about the sport.

I was pretty fine with letting Thomas Frank have his time and space. Not anymore. What a mess of a half.

Why did I pay for ESPN+ to watch the Spurs lose like this?

The victim of today's ICE shooting in Minneapolis has been identified by her mother as Renee Nicole Good, 37. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Last week, we published a story detailing ICE's strategy for recruiting new officers, including targeting "gun rights" supporters and geo-fencing ads around gun shows. Ex-ICE director told me: “That mentality you’re fostering tends to inculcate in people a certain aggressiveness" wapo.st/3Ngmo9C

My very smart colleagues are doing excellent coverage of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis today. I would urge you to follow along with local sources familiar with the area and the residents here.

That message is: “ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

NEW: Publishers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announce they are shutting down the newspaper on May 3, 2026. Hours ago, the Supreme Court of the US declined to extend a stay on a court order for the paper to pay its journalists following the end of a 3-year strike.

Uhhh, anyone else want to buy the restaurant that was once Post Pub?

Really entertaining Chelsea v. Arsenal match. The type of random weekend match you love to watch.

One to read from Allyson Chui on a new study in JAMA Network Open — www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Eze scoring today just hurts.

Some news: Today is my last day at The Washington Post. I'm going to miss all of my fantastic friends in the newsroom. There's a reason I've been here for a decade. I love my hometown newspaper. Thank you to anyone who's ever agreed to speak with me for a story. I appreciate the trust.

Now that’s a lede. Story by @taracopp.bsky.social and @michelleboorstein.bsky.social. Read here: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Public Media Bridge Fund is raising $100 million to ensure local public radio and television stations are able to stay open. I’m proud to say @ljlincoln.bsky.social works there — and now John Oliver is talking about the effort on Last Week Tonight!

This is just funny to me: Researchers at UC San Diego and Stanford mapped internet searchers for lorazepam after season three of White Lotus.

Glad we came from behind but rough end.

TEL! Come on you Spurs!

One to read from John Woodrow Cox -- The stakes of the case, which will soon resume in a Virginia courtroom, extend to tens of thousands of asylum seekers from Afghanistan whom President Donald Trump’s administration may seek to purge. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

According to internal documents reviewed by The Washington Post, the total size of the force will be 23,500 troops across all 50 states and three territories, excluding the District of Columbia. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Wait this story is really cute www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/20...
