I don’t have much else to say that other respected colleagues haven’t already said—simply that from where I’m standing, doing street journalism in LA and beyond, that elitist access journalism is a stain on the profession and we will all be better off when it finally hits the dirt

I get that we’re dealing with witch trial logic here so introspection is off the table, but hoooooow is the pursuit of this flimsy assault charge to a jury trial not prohibitively embarrassing for the brave men and women of the WPD

Hahahajajw I forgot about that man I gotta watch again

Etel Unbothered out here basically giving Moe Bergman a swirly on live TV I love it

Here's some writing for Hell World from the good folks joining me at The Sinclair today (4pm) @billshaner.bsky.social

Later he would complain "She's putting the baby in harm's way." A classic move: "harm" goes undefined because the harm is him.

Appreciate it! Punishing work in times like these

How dare you attempt to revoke my god-given I Card

our system of government, designed in the 1950s to defend make work jobs against going to the irish, has instead allowed the irish to flourish in make work jobs. Hm!

The cherry on top.. hard to process/harder to describe the cosmic 'fuck you' at play here

listening to mamdani brimming with abstract intellectual pride whilst feeling physically in my bones that i yet again got punished for caring about the cursed city of worcester massachusetts

Episode 43: That Is My File (ft. Heather Prunier, Tom Marino) Heather and friends stop by for a chat

The work @billshaner.bsky.social and @thisweekinwoo.bsky.social to shine a light on a horrific crime and even more disgusting cover-up is invaluable.

Regardless of the election outcome, 2026 is going to see some long-overdue hoisting of crank petards in Worcester.

Good day to catch the elusive worcester tumble weed (recycle bin in the road)
