I'm listening to the new season of Embedded and it's breaking my heart. It's about the shooting at The Capital Gazette newspaper.
I remember when that happened. I was a newspaper reporter in Utah.

That day I talked to my mom. She wanted to know what was happening at the newspaper in Annapolis.
I sent her news articles. Eventually I went home, after filing a few stories. And then I cried. I thought: shit, there's people who will kill us for doing our job.

It was my first job out of college, so everything felt more personal, and a lot.
That evening, one of my colleagues at @standardex posted on Facebook this. It was scary to know that we could also be a target on that same day. Luckily, nothing happened to us.

Anyway, listen to this episode of Embedded. It's powerful. Sad. Heartbreaking. All of those.
