I stick to the ocean when it comes to metaphors, personally. Waves beating ceaselessly, etc.

Everyone likes those, though. Our 4-H profiles during fair week are very well read.

I mostly try to get those to understandable, to be honest.

Reporting and writing are different skills. There are very good reporters who come up short in the writing department.

I'll take a good reporter I have to clean up over a great writer with no reporting chops any day.

During budget season, I assigned a reporter to look into a request for new chairs for city council and this show is basically a documentary.

I'm of the right age to appreciate "he did it all for the Nuzzi."

Honestly? Probably because nobody has been able to make the Dark Tower series work on film.

If you're going for a 50-year mortgage, I suspect you're not saving that $200 a month

I got served up my first AI song (that I'm aware of) the other day by Spotify. I was intrigued and checked out the artist, which is how I found out.

I have been watching Bond movies all my life and at no point considered Connery the same Bond as Moore or Brosnan.

I feel like this is a willing suspension of disbelief issue.

There are, frankly, too many men named "Will" in media these days
