The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

As both a life long Marvel fan and a writer who has accepted we need to be creative adapting these properties because the storylines we read from the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s & ‘90s won’t fly now I enjoyed this incarnation of Simon Williams…
I really enjoyed Wonder Man. And yes, they gave a REALLY accurate portrayal of what it's like on set.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

ICE is being turned down all over the country from being able to build detention centers. But the truth is they probably would detain the construction workers after the projects are completed. 🔄 🤬
