The Post was foolish enough to unleash a bevy of the world’s most talented multi-disciplinary journalists out there for their competition to scoop up. These are some of the most hard working and skilled people I know.

Hey congratulations! I know you’ve been building toward this for a while

None of this was necessary. None of it _had to happen_. Every single bit is a choice made by people who don't have to suffer the consequences. Up to us to help the people paying the price so that others can prosper, and to never ever ever forget who's making the choices.

Islay whiskies are the best! I fell in love with Caol Ila but they’re all so good.

Earlier this year I got to drive two great friends to their citizenship ceremony, and a whole group of us celebrated with them after. It was so joyful! They’re from one of the countries on this list. Relieved and grateful we got to be there with them then, and just sickened to read this now.

I’ve been thinking so much about this. A class I was in last year did an exercise applying a Black Mirror episode to surveillance capitalism tech, and my contribution was “what if the chatbot with your dearly departed grandpa starts casually mentioning how much he enjoyed a cold Pepsi on a hot day”

How would you describe its influence on Tubin’ and Mudlarkin’?
