Reluctantly back on here for a minute to tell anyone who cares that Friday was my last day @theScore. It was my decision, and a truly bittersweet one after nearly 12 years there. I'm going back to school in my 40s, namely for the Master of Journalism program @kingsjournalism.
I'll spare you any further tweets and summarize by restating that I'm now a free agent with 17 years of journalism experience in one of the largest markets in North America. Feel free to reach out by DM with opportunities. Thank you.

Today we sent our application to name a laneway off Parliament St "Funkadelic Lane," so TO will have a Parliament-Funkadelic intersection.
It's a fun and deeply meaningful way to honour iconic musicians who lived and played here ♥️🛸
RT if you think council should approve!!🙏

Albuquerque is now the biggest city in the country to make public transit free, permanently.
Turns out it doesn’t just save people money, it saves the city money.
We talked to residents, and they love it. Some save on gas, some don’t have to walk to work, and everybody wins.

Google News is indexing and promoting websites that immediately rip off others with AI clones of their articles. These websites are absolutely littered with Google ads. Our website, in which real humans do journalism, is not indexed by Google News

Stealing content is rampant in social media - it's a practice that is incredibly gross. It's usually limited to really crappy aggregator accounts (which you should not support) but when an account w/42 million followers does this - I mean, what are we doing?

Adding to this - ESPN is attributing this now to themselves w/the ESPN flagged microphone when it was a TNT interview. This is not great stuff.

This is super weird. For those who aren't aware, it's not a real clip from Milwaukee - it's a Bucks jersey thrown over the top of a clip from the Bubble as a Blazer.
Doesn't feel like this kind of thing should be there w/o a disclaimer.
DAME DIDN'T COME TO MILWAUKEE TO WASTE HIS TIME 🗣️
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video in the tweet has been digitally edited to change Lillard’s uniform, a logo on the floor, and add ESPN’s logo to the microphone flag.
The original video is from the NBA’s 2020 bubble, as seen here: twitter.com/Tspragueee/129…
