the work that photojournalists are doing in Chicago right now is incredible www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Honored to have an excerpt from @johnlingan.bsky.social's exceptional new book in this month's @phillymag.com. I learned a lot about Questlove in this story, and I suspect you will too:

I know this is well outside the point, but from an editorial management standpoint dropping all those photography and videography resources into just a 2,500-word story doesn't seem like the best use of a budget!

It's not fair that Jordan Mailata is both one of the best tackles in football AND this good of a singer.

Want to run a street festival in Philly? You'll probably have to pay the police department for security. That is...unless you know someone. Great reporting from @ryanbriggs.bsky.social and @maxmmarin.bsky.social.

Good news: City Hall bus and bike lanes got striped today despite the best efforts of Jay Young Bad news: the Residence Inn on Juniper has instinctively started using it as valet parking hours after completion. Not camera-enforceable without adding Juniper to the list

Spending every night for two weeks straight assuring my first grader that Pennywise is not, in fact, real because some terrible parent let his classmate watch It almost drove me to the point of felony assault.

The first one-cent coin was designed by Ben Franklin in 1787, so it's fitting that the final one will be produced right down the street.

I'm once again amazed how many otherwise seemingly intelligent people say "let me just jot down my heinous crimes into this computer, where it will be saved and accessible for eternity."

just saw a guy in a Harvard Pickleball sweatshirt and idk man that seems like something I'd keep to myself

they're gonna show that game on a loop at CIA black sites for years

"What's Kevin Patullo gonna dial up" is maybe the scariest sentence in the English language

Hi writers! I’m looking to assign a couple of features for Slate before the end of the year. If you have anything in mind that you think would be a fit please send me a pitch! Jenée.Desmond- [email protected] or dm me. RTs are appreciated so this can reach more people. Thanks!

From the vehicle to the license plate to the location, you couldn't conjure up a finer “guy parked in crosswalk” than what we have here.

I said this recently, but cities should fight to get magazines the way they do sports teams, and for the same reason: to put themselves on the nation's psychic map.

Oh man this is a gut punch. I know I'm biased but city magazines are the lifeblood of local journalism, a glossy monthly chronicle of the good and the bad, the present and the future of your city. I'll miss Charlotte Mag.

This is an exceptional profile and there's a section—you'll know it when you see it—that was one of the most difficult I've ever had to navigate as an editor.

Incredibly classy move from a WIRED reporter who’s just been fired (for what seems like protected union activity) – completely commendable way to look out for your colleagues and their work. Feels like the kind of person any newsroom would be lucky to have, tbh.

"What we saw last night was a directional shift toward Democrats in 99.8% of counties that held partisan elections."

Philly is at close to 34 percent turnout, up from 22 percent four years ago. People are pissed off.

congrats to New York on electing America's first Das Racist stan

New York I know you have a lot going on today, but I'm going to be in Sunset Park for like 18 hours tomorrow/Thursday and could use some breakfast and lunch recommendations.

Election Day is great for the obvious reasons but also because it annually introduces you to some neighbors with incredible names

whoa massive news

I’m reading @johnlingan.bsky.social’s excellent Backbeats: a History of Rock and Roll in Fifteen Drummers (out November 11!) and laughed out loud at this perfect line.

this is exactly how I’d hoped the inventor of the frozen burrito looked

Halloween in Philadelphia

The Bart’s Bagels peppers egg and cheese is a god-tier Philly sandwich and yet you never hear about it?? That changes right now

As journalists, we all face criticism (some fair and some unfair) and a certain level of vitriol. When one reader went too far, though, @phillyvictor.bsky.social decided to do something about it.

Hi hello, I frequently am asked for recommendations for editor jobs, and I am updating my roster of good candidates. If you *have editing experience* and are open to new jobs, can you respond here or DM me?

When I was a 22-year-old cub reporter (2007) I tried to do a story about DC-area guys named Bin Laden and it didn’t work for obvious (22-year-old reporter) reasons but I’ll be damned if the Times of London didn’t inadvertently pull it off

Massive, sad news for Philly

From my front stoop I can see neighbors whose native languages are Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Polish, and Tagalog and I can assure you that our block parties are better than anything J.D. Vance has ever attended.

She is currently the 461st ranked *junior* player in the country, so it will be...interesting to see how this goes.

"The bar is actually really fucking low for straight dudes now" is something I think about all the time. Expectations have never been so low, and yet so many of us are screwing it up! It doesn't take much effort, fellas!

[obvious disclaimer about the defendant being awful] this guy does something so unbelievably ballsy in his defense that I couldn't believe it when I was editing this story

it's certainly not the main cause of the Dems' problems over the past couple years but "the party's most prominent press secretary thought it was smart to agree to an interview with Isaac Chotiner" is certainly symptomatic of some deeper problems

such a bummer that national games on Thursdays (the best night for sportswatching: feels like the weekend but you can still talk about the game at work the next day) are now just on streaming

a Double Dagger reunion would fix me

Philly people: what are the best trick or treating blocks in your neighborhood? (This is both a personal and professional request.)

please give money and not food, it takes a not insignificant amount of time to sort and stock donations and money goes very far. also make sure you donate to a place that treats people with dignity and respect and allows access to anyone

It’s absolutely insane to me that the people who live on this and surrounding blocks are fighting the city’s efforts to protect this bike lane with concrete. Like, my brain does not comprehend their reasoning.

look I know this wouldn’t solve the issue but if every racist had a friendly Vietnamese neighbor who brought them a variety of exotic fruits from their backyard it might change a couple minds

The Dodgers are in the World Series, McCarthyism is back, and there isn't nearly enough housing to go around—all of which makes this a good time to read Stealing Home. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/eric-...
