Alden Global Capital makes for a better Hollywood villain — but the scale of local news destruction in Gannett's markets is simply astonishing.

“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.” - Cicero
Such a paradox — traffic can mean safer streets. Don’t like to see this data, but it’s important.
America's roads are largely designed for one thing only: speed. And speed is deadly.
Without traffic slowing drivers down, it's no surprise that even with less driving, 2020 brought a surge of traffic deaths.

“Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.” - Sydney J. Harris and then Allan James McDonald
Need to process this one. Allan was a crucial source for ch.11 of Range. I had recently asked if I could pitch the memoir he wrote (for his grandkids) to publishers. Him: "Yes. If it were rocket science, I'd have done it already."

Missing @j_ritt and grieving for Memphis right now - two of the best “local patriots” I’ve had the honor to know. Cities are great because people like Jennifer and Tommy make them so. @JamesFallows
Tommy Pacello loved the kind of city planning that helps people feel connected to a place and each other. dailymemphian.com/article/18…

I spent 4 hours today trying to find a physical copy of this edition. And it took just as long to read through this as I needed multiple sittings. A powerful and moving tribute in the face of a tragic milestone for our country. #COVID19

Amazing story and #inspiration to start the week.
Emerson, my 11 year old, is on a bit of a wild ride with the @USPS and our local mail carrier, Doug.
And, I think there’s a deeper message to it all.
First, the backstory...
