Dear former colleagues,
Leave now if you haven’t already.
No good will come of this.

Sarah Mullally is named as first female archbishop of Canterbury No 10 announces decision although role will not legally be taken on until January, before an enthronement service

Fantastic news. Never thought this would happen in my lifetime.

Even Bluesky posts need an editor.

Overheard at a DC bar tonight, this comment to a federal worker: “So you’re on vacation starting tomorrow.” That’s not how this works, idiot.

You guys rock, and thank you!

The two books on either side add up to a chilling commentary on current events.

Do they think it’s fun or are they just angry all the time?

Doooooolittle

We still do, 43 years later.

Went for a walk in my dangerous city. So glad I made it safely home.

Methinks the WaPo needs to up its game game.

We haven’t really been any good since Teddy used to win regularly. Four wins all season is ridiculous.

And it’s a lovely afternoon, so there’s that.

Nuts.

@nextyeardc.com why on earth is Jacob Young not starting on his bobblehead day?

The silence is deafening.

Too soon!

There's a bandwagon?

A winning streak? Shhhh. Don't jinx it.

From the Washington Post: "The thalidomide story was not originally on Mr. Mintz's beat. A tip had come into the newsroom from a congressional staffer. By rights it should have fallen to the Post's medical reporter, whom editors felt wouldn't bring enough "indignation" to the story, Mr. Mintz said later... An editor waited until the medical reporter was on vacation, and only then assigned it to Mr. Mintz...

Who says editors are only good for nitpicking your grammar? This is from today's Washington Post obituary of the legendary reporter Morton Mintz, who died at 103.

Thank you so much!

Bruised not broken?

Allons enfants de la patrie…

🎶 loudly!

“Address” meaning someone said so but we aren’t sure? @grammargirl.bsky.social

That was a good one. Made my hair stand on end, when it wasn’t flopping in my face because I was laughing so hard.

No Kings (on the Pike)! @indivisiblemontmd.bsky.social

That’s just…terrifying.
