If someone tells you it's sunny and 75, and someone else tells you there's a blizzard going on, your job is not to report both sides.
Your job is to look out the window & see what is actually going on.
I worked in TV news for 20 years. Too many producers have failed to look out the window.

chasing "balance" in news can sound like it's noble but it's not. treating all possible sources as comparably expert, rational, experienced, insightful, relevant, disadvantaged or empowered does not result in objective, accurate reporting. it results in false equivalency.

#lawsky The federal hiring freeze that went into effect earlier this week has resulted in several of our law students losing summer internships and post-graduate jobs with federal agencies, including the Department of Justice, the Department of Labor, the IRS, the PBGC, and more.

One of my collecting goals for 2024 was completion of the 1971 Topps Supers set. Well, I missed by a few days but with the arrival of Roberto, 71 Supers is now complete and 2025 is off to a great start. Now, just 2 more left for the 70 set. #cardsky

Guys, you're still trying to replace Twitter. I'm telling you we can't do it.

I truly feel for the cardiologists who went to bed one night thinking how great it was to have their own hashtag/feed on Bluesky, only to wake up the next morning to a feed filled with baseball cards. Of course, if you’re a cardiologist who is also a card collector, this is probably heaven. #cardsky

#cardsky has gotten so big so fast, it’s going to get confusing, and we probably need to create separate feeds for vintage (pre-1981) and junk/modern, and possibly pre-war.

Not many of these out in the wild. A 1975 Hostess Twinkies uncut sheet—the entire set of 60 cards—with a slightly miscut back. Have two of these that I picked up ~25 years ago and thinking about letting one go.
