The editor pod's Christmas theme is "Holiday Blockbusters." Basically, superheroes. But Nicest Guy on the Planet @ThomasCTobin inadvertently re-created a piece of #comicbook history: The memorial to #Batman's fallen partner, Jason Todd, #Robin II. #NightEditorProblems
@ThomasCTobin@VarianTimes@amy_hollyfield .@christisch1 went with the brave choice of recreating the controversial Super Friends Christmas episode where the Legion of Doom murdered the Wonder Twins, Zan and Jayna, and hung their bloody uniforms at the Hall of Justice. ABC pulled the episode and Hanna-Barbera apologized.
I went for a #Batman66 “Budget Batcave” vibe. I’m too lazy to remove all these labels so hopefully they last through Halloween 2020. #NightEditorProblems
And how cool is it that #GreenLantern superfan @ZackSampson taped the Green Lantern Corps. Oath to his desk and recites it everyday?

Woke up sore from Sunday's workout.
Some say we should sacrifice grandparents to save the economy. They weren't specific, but I believe they meant someone else's grandparents — not theirs.
I'm making my own cold brew. It ain't bad.
Tomorrow's another day!

When I’m stressed on deadline my throat itches and I swear I’ve got the #Rona.
It takes 4 miles of rucking at midnight to calm down.
My niece asked grandma to make her and her brothers chicken tenders. So my mom did.
The kids’ crisis plan is to steal our food!

If I survive this, I’m going to develop a #StarTrek series.
But instead of scientists, the crew will be made up of business executives and pundits.
They’ll make decisions based on what’s good for the economy, not science.
They die at the end of every episode.
On March 27, 2019, a road rage shooting in St. Petersburg's Historic Old Northeast left one dead and another wounded. @TB_Times reporter @Ksurana6 has been digging into the case, which has taken one strange turn after another. Thread 1/4: tampabay.com/news/publicsaf…
2. The accused shooter, William Shutt, once shot up an antique store with an AK-47 semiautomatic rifle while drunk and was suspended from Facebook for trolling strangers. @TB_Times reporter @Ksurana6 revealed all that, and how detectives found him: tampabay.com/news/publicsaf…
3. Investigators learned more about William Shutt: He kept mass shootings videos on his phone; had body armor and a small arsenal; and may have links to the alt-right. "There was a time when I was a good guy," he wrote. From @TB_Times reporter @Ksurana6: tampabay.com/breaking-news/…
