When Amara Strande was just 16, a 15-pound tumor was found embedded in her liver. Nearly the size of a volleyball. She was one of many students at Tartan High School in Oakdale who got cancer. Students joked about the water fountains, saying, “Don’t drink the 3M cancer water.” 🧵

“We will beat the Ukrainian out of you,” a Russian interrogator told a woman I spoke to in Ukraine, before he tortured her. That seems to be Putin’s strategy, but it's failing in Ukraine. I worry that we in the West are made of weaker stuff. My column: nytimes.com/2022/12/14/opi…

I created a form I give prospective ghostwriting clients before I agree to a call. They have to answer 8-10 Qs about project scope, existing materials, their experience working with a writer, etc. Some never return it. Others realize they need to think more before they can talk.

Even CNN says Tucci's food lovers' tour through Italy is one the their most successful original programs. So explain to me again why the powers that be at the network are canceling it? hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/cnn…

Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's Drew Harwell. Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

Elon Musk suspending the Twitter accounts of journalists who cover him is the push I needed to move elsewhere, at least for now. Find me on Post.News @michellerafter or LI under Michelle Rafter.
