Some personal news!

Sunday marked 8 years for me at @BuzzFeed / @BuzzFeedNews. It's been a wild and crazy ride since January 2013.

I'm incredibly proud of the work I've done and grateful for the lifelong friends I've made. ImageImageImageImage

Would anyone like to see some vintage Vines of Early BuzzFeed™ (2013-2014)
Okay, @benyt liked this tweet so that's all the encouragement I need: Image
Back when the entire @BuzzFeed / @BuzzFeedNews editorial team (minus a few remote reporters) was on one floor.

It was very obvious which side of the room was news and which side of the room was not.

Obligatory skateboarding dog because we had a LOT of fun animal visitors: vine.co/v/bl3aTJqxMXb
Lol @ this Vine when the internet was down and Ben was the only person working: vine.co/v/bLilKTPDeDY
Remember this day @lisatozzi ? vine.co/v/hwPZ1d5M7dB
I stand by this, TBH: vine.co/v/hTl5qiP3Wbx
An early appearance from @SchoofsFeed and investigative partner-in-crime @MedinaMora vine.co/v/MtABpLBjlXW
Post-work Smash Bros tournaments with @KFILE @ErinChack @IsaacFitzgerald @SpencerAlthouse and many others was a highlight of Early BuzzFeed™ for me: vine.co/v/M5LMMnvWBzq
Covering #NYCC with the BuzzFeed Geeky (RIP) squad was also one of my favorite things about 2013/2014. vine.co/v/hHbXhz60mul
Finally, I don't have a Vine of this, but if there is one memory/sound that defines Early BuzzFeed™, it's Dancing Jar Jar. May he burn in hell.

Just got to Capitol Hill with @pdmcleod. We’ll be covering everything going on here for @BuzzFeedNews Image
Outside the Capitol. This is madness. I’ve never seen anything like this. Image

ⓘ This Nonsense Claim About Election Fraud Is Disputed By Reality:

Trump’s flagrant lies about the election are undermining democracy and stoking tensions that could turn deadly.

Twitter’s labels on them are pathetic: buzzfeednews.com/article/elliev…
According to Twitter policy: "Not all false or untrue information about politics or civic processes constitutes manipulation or interference."

But at what point will Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the election qualify as interference in a peaceful transition of power?
Although Trump has not explicitly called on supporters to take up arms in his defense, thousands of Americans have engaged with Trump's tweets with promises to fight to keep him in power.

I think a lot about what Mr. Rogers said and did when he accepted his Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1997 Emmys:
As @TomJunod so beautifully put it in @esquire's November 1998 issue:

web.archive.org/web/2003030118…
In his final broadcast, Mr. Rogers said:

"I know how tough it is some days to look with hope and confidence on the months and years ahead. But I would like to tell you what I often told you when you were much younger. I like you just the way you are."

Shoutout to all the people who've chosen not to attend a small family gathering in a pandemic and are being guilt-tripped for it!
Here's the story: cnn.com/2020/10/14/hea…

I’m outside the White House with @kadiagoba, covering tonight’s protests in Washington, DC for @BuzzFeedNews:

#DCprotest #GeorgeFloydProtests
Police / Secret Service have closed off Lafayette Square Park (park in front of White House) and 16th street (which leads to it). Huge law enforcement presence:
A few minutes ago, protesters tore down one of the fences around Lafayette Square Park and tear gas was deployed.

Police have moved up closer to the protesters now. #dcprotests #georgefloydprotests

Compare These 20 Headlines To See How Differently Royal Reporters Treated Kate Middleton And Meghan Markle: buzzfeednews.com/article/elliev…
THREAD: I've been reading about / covering the royal family for years + I've been thinking about publishing a piece like this for a while now. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I've read thousands of headlines/stories about the royals, particularly about Kate, over the years.
When Meghan came on the scene, I noticed a bit of a slow shift in terms of stories that were written. Don't get me wrong. There have been "why is this a story" stories written about Kate — TONS of them, but they were always fluffier? Silly, maybe. But not obviously negative.
