Minimizing the window where I read about how our world is a joke and we're at the mercy of megalomaniacal evil perverts. Logging on to the work zoom. "Heyyyy I'm good! How are you?"

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are
his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months
his net worth is $253.2 billion.

I will say my guess is that Jeff Bezos is not destroying the Washington Post out of a properly ideological crusade against freedom of the press but more likely out of a combination of boredom and pique that his interventions in the paper over the last eighteen months were unappreciated

People keep saying Bezos wrecked the Post on purpose but he could have just done that if he wanted to, no need to drag it out for years. I think he and his fellow traveler billionaires have thoroughly cooked their worldview and honestly believe there is a vast, silent, ignored right wing audience

Up now on @indyweek.bsky.social, an excerpt from this essential new @uncpress.bsky.social release. It tells the story of Wyatt Outlaw - a voting rights crusader and Graham’s first Black elected official. He was lynched in 1870. There are no public markers for his life yet, but now there’s a book.

It’s because they both dated Connie Britton and it just feels weird to try to be friendly knowing that
I think it’s weird we’ve never seen Jason Mantzoukas and Animal from the Muppets together. And I don’t mean in TV shows or movies, necessarily. I just mean, like, hanging out, having lunch, in paparazzi photos and such.
