As the kids say today, I got to get in my feelings over my favorite Tribe track. But most important, I got to hear @nprAudie say my name on the radio. npr.org/2019/03/11/702…

Apparently running old stories in the print edition of @washingtonpost wasn’t an error but a new strategy for filling the paper with no staff. Take this Retropolis column today:

I need journalists to ask Hollywood actors why they’re in pro-AI commercials.

Jeff Bezos fired more than 300 people and didn’t even arrange for them to get safely home.
Staffers were abandoned in foreign countries and war zones and are having to crowd source to get home.
One of the richest men in the world left them behind.

Former Washington Post reporters launch GoFundMe to help repatriate international staff who was fired and now facing logistical challenges getting out of their countries and back home. gofundme.com/f/support-for-…

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.

This is the correct framing. These aren’t just cuts. This was MURDER.

The other reporter on my team covering race was also laid off as well as the editor in charge of race coverage across national. The team covering America beyond DC is now 90% white.
Emmanuel Felton@emmanuelfelton
I'm among the hundreds of people laid off by The Post. This comes six months after hearing in a national meeting that race coverage drives subscriptions. This wasn't a financial decision, it was an ideological one.

USAID cost $40 billion and saved 3,000,000 lives/year. So they cancelled it and spent $40 billion on this instead.

When they say "you must embrace AI" it's cause they have a financial stake in it. They spent billions and their new business models are reliant on it. They don't want to lose their money. I can't wait for this bubble to pop.

The amount of cowardice being shown by the corporate media is galling
If the press won’t fight for the First Amendment, who will?

Lies from a shitty actor who was in a shitty movie.
Variety@Variety
Gal Gadot says the poor box office numbers for "Snow White" were "incredibly affected" by "pressure" in Hollywood to "speak against Israel": "I can always explain and try to give context about what's happening here. And I always do that. But in the end, people make their own decisions. And I was disappointed that the movie was incredibly affected by all of that and that it didn’t do well at the box office. But that's how it goes. You win some, you lose some." variety.com/2025/film/news…

It’s hard to express enough to people who don’t live in DC just how much nothing is actually going on that would justify anything like this.
The Guard already deployed are largely sitting around looking extremely bored (and somewhat miserable because of the heat and humidity).

"But it's more than just about slavery" they'll say. As if AMERICAN SLAVERY isn't a big enough subject. As if any one person or one work of art could hope to solve or contain the emotional, psychological, and metaphysical eternities nested therein.

Storming on the east coast right now so if you're staying in this Juneteenth, you could do worse than watching @BarryJenkins's THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, the best piece of visual storytelling yet made on American Slavery.

As others have noted, more accurate to say "less lethal" than non-lethal.
In LA's Echo Park in 2021, police shot reporters with rubber bullets, took them into custody, hit them with batons.
