Some news: Ahead of this week’s devastating layoffs at The Post, a group of deep-pocketed locals approached publisher Will Lewis about acquiring the paper’s local news and sports teams. He ignored them.

This wind is no joke. Woke me up overnight. I’ll be spending my day anxiously watching our ailing oak tree that likes to gift us large branches at random times.
It’s rough out there! Temperatures have continued to fall after sunrise-most of the region now in the teens to around 20.
Wind chills mostly in the single digits to around zero. We may still see numbers dip a bit.
Gusts so far: DC to 48 mph, Dulles 46 mph and 49 mph at BWI. Peak about 10a-3p.

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

“Come Downstairs and Say Hello” by @guster.bsky.social. It’s an emotional rollercoaster every time. And with the symphony? Absolutely epic. A core concert memory.
Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

One more comment on the Post debacle: this hurts journalism broadly. Good journalists will go do something else. The rest will be fighting for fewer jobs and everyone will earn less. Fewer people will take up the career. The damage done is to the ecosystem, as well as the paper.
