2021 CTO of the Year for North Texas. My geek-fu is the best!

Lost 200,000 subscribers in the first weekend!

Yes, I’m bitter. I actually believe that Democracy Dies in Darkness. I will not fund those who snuff out the candles.

Thank you Guardian for being useful.
Of course the billionaire founder of Politico was surprised that people canceled their WaPo subscriptions over Bezos' capitulation to Trump. He cannot fathom people wanting to support institutions they believe share their values and aren't transparently hypocritical in claiming to support democracy.
