Twitter refugee. (Thanks, Alex!) Columbus Dispatch assistant sports editor, who's covered the Buckeyes, CBJ, NFL & more. Pickerington Tiger, Ohio grad, basketball official. Hatters Gonna Hat.
No, seriously. Need to find out if Javier from @weratedogs.com is hiring, because Cooper has a stellar resume.
It's always an adventure putting Cooper's harness on. cc: @anamariecox.com. Heard you may have needed a lift. Hope this helps.
Happy National Mascot Day! (Finally a group shot in which nobody is blinking at the wrong time.)
What the actual heck? This may be the first time I have seen both-sides journalism in which the one side is Trump and the "other" side is a Trump spokesperson.
Thank you for sharing this @colinsmith.bsky.social and for reposting it @ciarachristine.bsky.social! I've recently started studying art with my Emotional Support Canadian, and this is a really striking image for us to discuss.
Not picking on the media outlet that posted this today, because plenty of people are wrong about the "Luddites." They didn't see technology as a threat, per se. In fact, given their *actual* emphasis on labor rights, they might have supported technology that improved the safety of workers.
Excellent piece! Should this be Mark Sanford (not Stanford), though?
I know everything old is new again, but I will say, I'm shocked that we're going back to the days of needing to walk over to the television set to turn it on. Well, can't hurt to get some exercise before you watch your stories.
Jesus. Jesus did. There are multiple verses about leaving the things of this world behind to follow Him. local12.com/news/local/c...
Jackie Robinson, much like Martin Luther King, is often portrayed as an inoffensive teddy bear of a human being, when in reality, he was a lion. His roar echoes today.
Oh, Cooper had a cracked tooth removed last week! Belly rubs, Pedro. It gets better.
Power companies contemplate using [checks notes] ... AI? Yes, I am told that's correct. AI to tailor messages about what they are doing to bring down the cost of your electric bill. Blurb from AxIos news.
I always find it hilarious when someone uses a meme, a meme! (Merriam-Webster: an amusing or interesting item ... that is SPREAD WIDELY online) to accuse someone else of groupthink.
Sheesh. I know Shutterstock has some oddly specific images, but "woman who was deprived of love apologizes after her friend was nice to her?"
Not snarking. Honest question: If you're not OK with someone wearing their religion on their sleeve and think ministers shouldn't serve in Congress, are you opposed to this guy?
Google has added some bling to the search results for Zach Werenski.
I am glad, but not surprised, to learn that the Capitals recognize Bailey Johnson's professionalism.
Here is what the Bible says in Matthew 5:46-48 about just loving "the people on the inside."
I worked with Bailey at The Dispatch. She is so supremely talented, and she's too good for the Washington Post. I can't wait to see her next chapter.
I'm not sure if the Blues played "Day-O" in honor of Catherine O'Hara. But if so? Huge ups to the game ops staff in St. Louis.
Why is MSN using this pretty obviously AI-generated photo of Elizabeth Warren scowling? I cannot find the pic via a reverse image search, and it's uncredited within the story.
Per the NHL: The Lightning's 15-game point streak is the longest run the Blue Jackets have ever stopped, and Mason Marchment (8-3-11 in nine games) has become the first Blue Jackets player to score eight goals before his 10th game with the franchise.
