I just cancelled my subscription to the @washingtonpost.com. This latest move is a bridge too far. If Bezos sells it to someone interested in free and independent journalism, I’ll consider coming back — but not until.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Another thoughtful piece from @theatlantic.com that traces our current… whatever this is… to the financial crisis of 2008. I had a front row seat for that one, working in Comms at BofA. And it certainly did feel like a seismic turning point…

Just one man’s opinion, but other than on an iPhone (i.e., on a desktop or iPad), bsky is lots better in a browser (bsky.app). Command-plus even blows up the type size for us senior citizens. Maybe they’ll make desktop and iPad apps that are more sensitive to the local screen size, but till then…
