When I moved to Riverside I noticed that all the local pizza places offer cashews as a topping. I've wanted to investigate ever since, and the origin story is fantastic. (And yes, cashew pizza is delicious.) Read it in @LAist now! Thanks @gabchabran! laist.com/news/food/cash…

If you live or vote in California, I made a 2022 Proposition and Election guide. You can check it out here: stefankehlenbach.com/blog/2022-cali…

In our video pronunciation guide, reporters @JaniceYuNews and @FrancesWangTV state the correct pronunciations of the Chinese- and Korean-language names of the victims in the Atlanta spa shootings. See the full guide: aaja.org/2021/03/19/aaj…


For our next issue, @dreamofitaly is looking to profile people who've made their Italian dream come true. Artisans, bakers, food/wine, etc. either #expats in #Italy or in US who learned a craft in Italy. Do you know anyone like this? (No travel writers/travel industry pls)

Some of those that work forces are apparently the same that burn crosses.

A @DCPoliceDept officer says off-duty police officers and members of the military, who were among the rioters, flashed their badges and I.D. cards as they attempted to overrun the US Capitol. politi.co/3bmr5tw via @politico

And so, like a schoolbear encountering an armed teacher, Betsy DeVos exits the building. (This joke was provided to me on background by an anonymous grad student joke-poet, who granted me permission to use it on Twitter)

Please, please, please do not let your friends and family piece together an account of what happened today from posts or conspiracies on social media. Send them our story — it’s the joint work of dozens of reporters who were on the ground. washingtonpost.com/local/trump-su…

As you absorb the tragic photos and videos of the Capitol today, think of the journalists who endanger themselves by rushing toward chaos again and again, creating the first draft of history.


I LOVE HER

Am now requiring my wedding guests to submit either a full dissertation OR an epic poem to be considered for attendance. Deadline is tomorrow. All subs will go thru 2 reviewers and 3 generic pitch emails; we will not be providing explanations for rejections. Thx, mgmt

AITA for refusing to RSVP to my sister’s wedding because I’m required to write an “application essay” just to attend? bit.ly/2P7w3hm

My editor asked me to write an Adam Schlesinger playlist with twelve songs. I sent her thirty, and she published them all. nytimes.com/2020/04/02/art…

Katie Porter is a national treasure and what she just did will save lives.

I did the math: a full battery of coronavirus testing costs at minimum $1,331. I also did the legal research: the Administration has the authority to make testing free for every American TODAY. I secured a commitment from a high-level Trump official that they’d actually do it.
