it’s “cast,” not “casted.” it’s “cost,” not “costed.” they are irregular verbs. please, people, this was not an issue six years ago. i am begging you to realize that you are being systematically dumbed down.

History has never once looked back and concluded: You know what? The people banning and burning the books were actually the good guys.

Buying books and reading books are two entirely different hobbies, and I happen to excel at both.

I saw a post on Reddit today about AI that said, “AI is data, and data can only look backwards. Creativity looks forwards.” And I genuinely need to sit with the weight of that for a while.

Honestly tired of this relativity new "RSVP for location" from political campaigns I have at least three events to cover tomorrow and I don't know where any of them are and it's stressing me out.

VOCÊS SABIAM? De acordo com as tradições mexicanas, hoje, dia 27 de outubro, é o dia em que os pets que já se foram visitam a casa de seus tutores para matar a saudade e mostrar que não se esqueceram deles 🥹❤

I don't want to “download the app” to pay for parking. I don't want to “create an account” to see a menu. I don't want to “provide feedback” on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash

Taco Bell not doing “Steal a Base, Steal a Taco” for the World Series is a recession indicator.

This year for Halloween, I’m going as the one thing that strikes fear in the heart of TV news photographers everywhere: 3pm walking tour of the county’s new wastewater treatment plant. Terror ain’t sexy.

As a former contributing writer to the AP Stylebook, I'll make a ruling here: it should be "Dans Sullivan" like Surgeons General. Like Attorneys General, or courts martial. nitter.cf/migold/status/21147937…
Replying to @APStylebook
@APStylebook is it Dan Sullivans or Dans Sullivan

We're about to enter a period where not reading or writing becomes as ubiquitous as smoking once was. We can hope people will eventually realize this is bad for them, as they did with smoking. But this is far from certain; the cost may not be as obvious.

Today is my last day at The State newspaper, and likely my last day as a staff photojournalist. Please, support your local newspapers that still employ photojournalists. Enjoy true stories, made with pictures, in your community while you still can.
