I am heartbroken by the sudden loss of longtime colleague & dear friend Richard Bates—a widely respected executive, who was also extraordinarily kind, charming & irresistibly witty. His loss is profound & our prayers are with his wife Rose & sons Ricky & Chris.

Congratulations Ruby!
I received my OPT work authorization card today. That means I can work in the U.S. for one year without worrying too much about costly visa sponsorships. Trump may soon announce regulations/suspensions on OPT. Before that, I will be a creative tech summer intern at @latimes.

Thanks to @Willow_Bay, @WendyMcMahon7 , @NPearlstine & @jekavanagh for a stimulating discussion of #TruthDecay and #journalism. This thread has a few of the highlights.
