You know an '80s song is going to fuckin ROCK if it opens with a motorcycle engine revving
I am so proud of what this team has accomplished — and how they grew not only the BuzzFeed copydesk but also this newsletter and this account into something equal parts sharp, hilarious, innovative, and immeasurably valuable for writers and journalists across the internet. 😭😭😭

This is a very, very good piece. (Also, never forget the day Andrew Keegan invited everyone to the bar around the corner and I ate fried alligator with the boy who was plastered on my walls in the 90s.) A very special era indeed

I love it when @em_dash3 writes about animals, so I'm thrilled she did this extremely touching piece for @Slate. slate.com/human-interest…
Reading @em_dash3’s World Without Whom and I start lol’ing IRL at the list of ways to type laughter, and then Hubs asks ‘What’s so funny’ and now I’m basically in hysterics. Full-on cackling… 😂
What's a book that every writer should read? I'll go first: "On Writing" by Stephen King and "A World Without 'Whom'" by @em_dash3.
I just watched Interstellar for the first time and would like to see it reimagined with the Corn Kid popping up at inopportune times
I like the phrase “wherever books are sold!” Because it sounds like the person saying it has no idea how or where to buy a book.
I have a serious & important question. Why do people in their 20s always put their age in their social media bios? Like, we get it. You have a youthful, glowing complexion. You don't need to hit us over the head with the fact that you're still vibrant and full of zest. Rude tbh

I thought people were exaggerating about the Fishes episode of The Bear but it might be my favorite movie of the year. Electric and haunting. Truly a great television program, and if there are haters out there I don't even want to know about them.

Just so proud of every single person on this ferocious little team, we punched so far above our weight and became a really invaluable resource for so many writers and editors. I am so lucky that I got to start my career here, and with @BuzzFeedNews. @styleguide FOREVER and EVER.
When we compiled this issue, we did not know it would be our last. Our style guide went live on Feb. 4, 2014, launched by BuzzFeed’s first copy chief, @em_dash3. Her then–deputy copy chief, @meganpaolone, created Quibbles & Bits and sent the first issue in 2016.
Today is the last day for BuzzFeed News, the site will freeze and archive tonight (old articles won't delete, don't worry). When we found out we were shutting down 2 weeks ago, I assigned myself one last incredibly stupid thing.....
our copy desk would not let us call something “unhinged” or say “girl boss” and they were always right!!!!!!!!
BuzzFeed News was a special place to work as a copy editor. Not enough newsrooms champion a copy team that pushes writers to reexamine their language for the biases we did. It was nice to feel trusted by the editors and reporters we worked with!!!
my contribution to the oral history is that on my first day as an intern in 2013 @semaforben told me he wanted to outsource copyediting overseas; 8 months later he pushed us to make @styleguide public😎 don’t doubt the copy editors!
Today is the last day of BuzzFeed News. I wanted the last word on it to be from the people who worked there. Here's the final post, the Oral History of BuzzFeed News: buzzfeednews.com/article/buzzfe…
Back home in Albuquerque in honor of the Better Call Saul finale! (Also visiting my mom.) First stop: Saul’s office.
Call me if you are interested in hearing about what it was like to be a woman in digital media in the 2010s...There were a lot of us running things under the men who are getting a lot of attention right now!
I'm reading @em_dash3's "A World Without 'Whom,'" and the part about continually double-checking a word's spelling or meaning makes me feel seen Whether you're learning or you've written professionally for years, sometimes you just need a reminder 🤷♀️ No judgment here
Even if you’re a professional, there are no stupid questions when it comes to writing stylebot.app/editing-resour…
When we compiled this issue, we did not know it would be our last. Our style guide went live on Feb. 4, 2014, launched by BuzzFeed’s first copy chief, @em_dash3. Her then–deputy copy chief, @meganpaolone, created Quibbles & Bits and sent the first issue in 2016.
we are at the @BuzzFeedNews funeral drinks and i think i have made a convincing argument to publish all our draft obits, including the one we wrote when tr*mp had covid
i’m still reeling, that place was such a beacon for me & so many in this industry, now it’s been cruelly extinguished—what made BuzzFeed News shine were the brilliant humans who gave it life, so if you’re smart you’ll go & hire/support these talented people w/ such fire & warmth
Imagine still having a blue check… embarrassing.
Perhaps at my own peril I shared thoughts I have about digital media over the last decade. slate.com/business/2023/…
@cwarzel I did love Tracy Morgan declaring himself in charge. Maybe we should have let him run things?
buzzfeed news shuttering the day twitter gets rid of the checks is some very real 'the long 2010s ended today' shit
