One of the things I struggle with—even though I haven’t worked in local TV news for a decade—is a constant desire to vacuum up information.

In non-pope news, the Duck-Rabbit brewery has closed, and I had many thoughts about it: https://t.co/NwBMZt5jOH
A short story about writing on bathroom walls, the effects of being too online, and there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it'll be a home run, and so that'll make it a 4–0 ballgame. https://t.co/yCkZmqKauJ
RT @deftlyinane: Last month, I saw a Redditor ask where he could dig a big hole in Durham. I suggested he go up to an emerald mine in Hidde…
