we were part of something really special @LauncherWP forever ✌🏼 https://t.co/bu3xbmiCfd

access to public parks is becoming more limited, public transit is in decline nationwide, and malls are literally banning kids. wouldn't be surprised if smartphone and social media usage is up BECAUSE it's so hard for kids to hang out with other kids. https://t.co/0RjhE6895y

Teens who meet up with their friends 'almost every day' is down from 50% in the 90s to 25% today. Falls off a cliff around 2010, alongside the rise of smartphones and social media. https://t.co/3Bjbwmui8j

this always confused me cause ᄃ is a "d" sound. why wasn't it ddeok?

I am officially against the transliteration of 떡볶이 as “tteokbokki.” Like, what the fuck. How/who decided this? Is it too late to right this ship?

i suspect there's a lot of other elder millennial journalists like me who graduated straight into the recession and were never hired full-time but i'm prob one of the few left who tried to stay in the industry. wapo was my 5th media layoff.

Shannon Liao @Shannon_Liao

I interviewed games journalist and former colleague @jondottxt about being laid off nine times and he said, "I always plan for something like this. Through my entire career, I have. There is no such thing as stability. For me, I have never had any luxury to feel that way."

usually open late, free wi-fi, and that $1 any size coffee deal. mcd's has absolutely been clutch for me.

watching tlou episodes 5 to 6 back-to-back while i'm sick with a nasty cold and recovering from a minor surgery was an emotional rollercoaster lol

never played tlou but even if i had, i'd still be loving the show because <hot take warning> i WANT adaptations to be different. never understood the rabid insistence for 1:1 translations. keep the spirit of course. but also, expand beyond the source or bring a fresh take!

btw i don't think i'll be able to run my dead space remake review because of <gestures at wapo gaming desk in media hospice> but it was very, very good and the devs i spoke w really understood what made the original great and expanded upon it. 9/10. node system is still silly.

korea, the nation that spent nearly its entire history being invaded and occupied, is east asian. one weird example of this take is the tiktok vids claiming koreans "stole" fried chicken from black US soldiers. a foreign military forcing its culture upon you is "stealing" now?

deeply grateful and humbled by all the follows and retweets! i've been through many layoffs and have found that i manage it best when i give myself a long rest before diving into the job search again. but please do reach out about jobs and opportunities! it's much appreciated.
