Some of my earliest memories are bringing in the Post each morning and combing thru all the box scores in the sports section before school.
Bezos tanked the Post by not endorsing in '24 and is now using those losses to justify decimating one of the few remaining national-facing newspapers. Terrible

This stat alone explains so much of our democracy crisis
"The newspaper industry served as a feeder for our entire news media ecosystem. So when we lose those newspapers, we've lost that journalism. In the early 2000s, we had 40 journalists per 100,000 people. We're now down to 8 journalists per 100,000 people," says @victorpickard.bsky.social.

This story is honestly insane. Faraway investors buying up Detroit homes and turning them into crypto tokens; letting housing fall into disrepair, and evicting residents. This is what happens in an extraction economy.
Housing + Private Equity = A recipe for profit over people.
As urgency grows around housing and affordability, we peel back the curtain on an issue impacting hundreds of Detroit residents: housing as a digital investment asset.

The way the left has gone on the defensive / allowed the Overton window to move rightwards on humanitarian parole programs, which were an overwhelmingly successful Biden admin innovation, is another messaging failure from the Harris campaign + Dem consultants.
Pretty sure the next argument from centrists is going to be that Democrats must not be for the restoration of the humanitarian avenues for migration that Trump scrapped.

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring
Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.
