Someone just said "Twitter Killed Professional Journalism". Seriously, what the f*** does that even mean?

The power of teamwork - and you can fight hunger in the ! Team-up today and get a $ for $ match.

Who else has a drawer that they get excited to open? From nail clippers to a watch I thought I lost, so much treasure

Just got done shooting a PSA for the Boys and Girls Club Steak and Shake of Jackson Cty. Hope everyone is having a great day

Maybe Drew Brees already signed, and we just don't know it because all the reporters got fired

I was never a T-P guy, but firing the food critic in a food town is a f***ing idiotic idea. You're doing a heckuva job, Timey!

Quote of the day at FQ10 :

TP editor Jim Amoss says cuts include "significant reduction" in workforce but waiting for more concrete numbers

Wait. So the editor doesn't know how many people are getting fired?
