Imagine how delusional and narcissistic someone would have to be to side eye and smirk at another person when they are the one chained and cuffed in a jail jumpsuit. Can’t tell Alex NUTHIN. He is feeling himself all day errrday.

Journalism tweet: As a reporter, mostly writer, I’d like to say a thing about photojournalists. We gotta treat them like the equals they are in the creative process. They should be in the planning meetings early and often. The best work is made together, not as an afterthought.

Thanks to Frank Warner for posting this: "At Sixth Street, Allentown, The Morning Call newsroom many of us knew lies in this rubble. This was yesterday, Oct. 22, 2023." Next time you're feeling like you don't know what's happened to the world, remember who used to tell you.

20 years since Who Will Survive and What Will Be left Of Them was released. That day we played a tiny college show in Illinois to about 50 people. Here's a pic from 2003, the year I got my first cell phone. If they look super low-res, it's cause 2003😂. Thanks all, Ever grateful

It is time to head to the #NorthCarolina mountains. Leaving tonight? Here's a look back at some previous #fallfoliage reports. Graveyard Fields is probably already past peak, but it should be ripe in lower elevations. Stay tuned! sodacitizen.com/home/tag/fal…
