Welcome new followers, thanks to the verified journalists list! I edit the Businessweek Daily newsletter among other things for the mag. Past work includes BBG Opinion, NYT, MLB and Tampa Trib, but my most famous byline is in the 2004 “Punisher” movie. Looking forward to sharing more with you. 🗞️

"'Imagine how bad Thanksgiving is going to be!' I said to the couple next to me, who were planning to visit their grandkids and probably didn’t appreciate my doom-mongering."
Why now? Democrats "never believed the shutdown would exact the concessions they were demanding, so there was no real exit strategy. Eventually, they thought, public opinion would turn against them." -- @joshuagreen.bsky.social

One of the stranger things I did in journalism was wait outside a Tampa jail all night for Darryl to turn himself in on parole violations. (My friend was actually stringing for the AP, and I wasn’t going to let her sit at the jail alone.)
Darryl Strawberry, the baseball slugger who won the World Series while with the New York Mets and Yankees, but whose career was tainted by drug use and other legal problems, received a pardon from President Trump for his three-decade-old tax evasion conviction.
Trump Pardons Darryl Strawberry, Former Mets and Yankees Slugger
The eight-time All-Star baseball player pleaded guilty in 1995 to one count of tax evasion. He was sentenced to six months of home confinement.

I'll not repost this just to say: Project Finish is the best. I couldn't go this year, but I've been the past two NYC marathons, and it is intense and amazing. (You can follow them on IG for details!)
The people who stay to cheer the last person on a marathon are my personal emotional kryptonite.
I pledge my undying fealty to them every time — just uncharacteristically irrationally committed to a group of strangers who would do this.

The Philadelphia Art Museum rebrand surprised locals and board members. Is it as bad as some say?
A beer hall? Soccer team? The Art Museum's new logo and name are drawing fire. But the real test will be whether or not the redesign brings in crowds and raises money.
