Here's a great piece about
@secondmentions
and what it's like to admin this account (it's a lot of fun!) Thanks to
@naamanzhou
@NewYorker
and everyone who has written them and shared them with us over the years! Keep up the good work ✌️😘
On the surface,
@secondmentions
deals with journalistic excess, but it’s really a deeper celebration of language,

It’s not often I’m surprised by a second mention but fair play
Breaking News: A woman accidentally knocked over a balloon dog sculpture by Jeff Koons at an art fair in Miami, causing the $42,000 artwork to shatter, witnesses said.

A giant moon decoration was spotted drifting down the Kwun Tong shorefront on Thursday morning after escaping a barge. The inflatable celestial object eventually sank amid high winds during a thunderstorm warming. The lunar lantern was part of

"The hashtag hunk" !!!! YES !!!
South Korea striker Cho Gue-sung has had to switch off his phone.
He's gone from having thousands of Instagram followers at the start of the World Cup to 1.6m and counting.
Not because of his goals, but because he's so ridiculously handsome.
@DTathletic
on the hashtag hunk.

Not a real second mention but rule busting boozy bash is beautiful
Why is the Sun’s coverage of the Downing Street Christmas party story so muted? Could it be because on the very same night in December 2020, the paper was hosting a rule-busting boozy bash of its own? Full story in the brand new Private Eye, out today.

The feathered obstacle 😂😂😂
A 'stubborn' swan did not want to move off a road in southern Germany, leading a police cruiser to slowly 'escort' the bird until it moved aside.
'Vehicles had to be guided past the feathered obstacle,' authorities wrote on Facebook. 🦢
