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.

In the end, Dallas traded Doncic and got back Max Christie, 3 first-round picks, 3 second-round picks, and about $40 million in cap space.

We all know this is BS. But the excuses, if we take them at face value, are a failure of leadership.
I am part of the mass layoffs at the Washington Post.

I am sad and angry. We all want to keep doing the work.

But for now I want to document a reality of being in journalism today.

"We just want to do good work and each make a decent living and keep the lights on" is still a radical idea in comparison to how everything has always worked but it's not fantastical.

Hall of Fame plaque announcements just came out. No surprises.

Carlos Beltrán (Mets cap), Andruw Jones (Braves) and Jeff Kent (Giants).

One of my favorite stories was about how the plaques are made:
