Some people sprint at the end of the race. I'm just trying not to fall flat on my face. In the marathon that is journalism, 2023 felt three years long and left most of us limping across the finish line:

My next piece in the series interrogates the often racialized path toward redemption; how many white public figures receive far more support after falling out of public favor than everyone else — and how that replicates an already flawed system. Read here https://t.co/cjRXeUtG3u

In the first of several pieces I've written in a new series interrogating cancel culture, I examine why it has failed. In short, a lack of organization, rules and nuance have long plagued it. Yet, we wonder why it hasn't stuck. Read the full article here: https://t.co/5IgaI13xoB

I'm too lazy and lack the knowledge to change "the world" to "McCarthy" but my comic book people who know will know
Romney says he doesn’t fault Dems for not bailing McCarthy out yesterday. “I think Speaker McCarthy made a decision to get as close as he possibly could to the radical wing of his party and by doing that he made it virtually impossible for the Democrats to come to his aid.”

My super let a giant horse fly into my house, the place where flies go to die. It's been in a panic for two days now and I've missed swatting it several times. It buzzes so loud when it flies by it feels like there's a tiny helicopter in my house, frantically running into windows

I mean, they purposefully made it easier to get rid of him as a condition of him getting the gig so ... who's surprised? I'm not. I'm not surprised. Also, as I already retweeted, this is a common theme for GOP speakers who find their roles contested over and over

Hmmm noticing a theme here!
Sen. Cornyn calls effort to oust McCarthy “disgraceful” “We saw a similar thing happen to Boehner, Ryan, and now McCarthy. I’m sure the next speaker is going to be subjected to the same terrorist attacks.”

The vote is happening!
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) is the seventh Republican to vote yes on the motion to vacate, making it that much more likely McCarthy will be ousted.
