I've been waiting 29 years to tell this story about OJ and his days at USC. Now that he's dead (may he burn in hell) I have a story that I signed an NDA for that is no longer valid. I was a junior at USC working in Topping Student Center on campus in 1995. I was an administrative…

I grew up in the era of 'girls have to play soccer because confidence/math!' so i spent most of soccer sitting on the field, ignoring the ball, and waiting for it to be over.

I just learned that my toddler has been lying down inside the goal during soccer class.

it's genetic!

Grateful to work on this piece with the best editor in the biz!

I'm just a fun-loving judge who loves messy drama. I'm not here to make friends.

Just once I want to read a story about a pro-nonsense judge who loves nothing more than a big ol' helping of drama

This Charlotte Alter story was so good so it’s no surprise !!!! deadlineclub.org/2024-awards-fi…

The AZ Supreme Court decision allowing enforcement of a Civil-War era abortion ban practically ensures that AZ voters will be voting on abortion in November... in a must-win state for Trump

Wow, this is a terrible idea ('silent lunch'). Kids & teens already don't get enough time to socialize face-to-face, and now we're going to tell them they can't talk at lunch in school?

BREAKING: Secretary of State Blinken said in a press conference that the situation in Gaza is unacceptable and the attack on WCK workers should be the last one. 'If we don't see the changes we need to see (in Israeli policy), there will be a change in our policy', Blinken said

Santos on why he wants to run in Suffolk County, via Will Bredderman: “My husband and I both enjoy that kind of life. We’re dying to have a chicken coop and stuff like that, and in Suffolk County it’s much easier to get that' thedailybeast.com/george-santos-…

The U.S. government is still supplying 2 thousand pound bombs and ammunition to support Israel's policy. Until there are substantive consequences, this outrage does nothing. Bibi obviously doesn't care what the U.S. says, its about what the U.S. does. politico.com/news/2024/04/0…

The murder of seven heroic World Central Kitchen workers in Gaza should be a bright red line. Israel has the right to defend itself against barbaric acts of terrorism, not to indiscriminately kill innocents or valiant men and women who are working to save them from starvation.

This is a really sharp piece about the death of the city column. As someone who tried to do this five and then three days a week at the old amNY I’d also add that you just can’t do it right when you’re also satisfying all the other requirements of the digital journalism maw

One year unjustly detained, just for being a journalist.

Evan Gershkovich's arrest was a 'watershed moment' that illustrated Russia's complete disregard for international norms, his friend Polina Ivanova told me.

“It wasn’t that Evan’s work had changed. It was that Russia changed.”
