I don't think LA has much over on us, but being able to yell along to this on the dancefloor in a goth bar on their 80s/darkwave night really got me youtu.be/yG7MPEQm1-w?...

I love my stupid filthy city and more won my less stupid, marginally less filthy neighborhood

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

ProPublica is a national treasure living up to its name. Speaking truth both to power and to us all.

oh ok ok cool cool NBC BLK in particular was a great home for nonfiction books coverage and I’ve worked with all of these outlets over the years, I hope for the best for all the talented teams behind them

I hate having nightmares so much. Having nightmares and waking up with a new pimple seems like extra punishment

I really really need to stop picking the skin on my thumb again

50 years after Jaws nearly destroyed Spielberg's career, a new exhibit spotlights the groundbreaking film.

Half my coworkers at Taco Bell are homeless. Some live in their cars. One guy literally lives under a bridge. Apartments around here start at $2000/mo but I could rent a dilapidated trailer with plastic sheeting for doors for $850/mo
