This just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how to do news. Data helps, but data doesn’t tell a reporter to spend a years-long investigation into child labor or an editor to place staff in a country on the brink of war. What exactly does Bezos think WaPo’s “journalistic mission” is?
Jeff Bezos' statement, his first since last week's layoffs: "The Post has an essential journalistic mission and an extraordinary opportunity. Each and every day our readers give us a roadmap to success. The data tells us what is valuable and where to focus."

This is the best idea I have ever heard
coming up with a new idea called "driving like shit olympics". no more bland, unprovable statements like "california drivers are the WORST" allowed. whichever state wins every 4 years gets a moonshot-sized public transit investment to get those fuckers off the road

Attention VCs: For $20k I will spend 20 minutes with a CEO you're thinking about investing with and tell you if their idea is stupid. For an additional $10k, I will tell you if they are personally stupid.

I wrote about how the women Epstein and co victimized have been minimized and ignored as individuals even in popular discourse about the very abuse they endured—and how the legal system has punished them and other women, not helped them, for daring to come forward.

Even the most famous victims are silenced
From the Epstein files to Amber Heard, we obsess over victims while denying their own right to speak.

This shit is totally insane. These companies refuse to discuss actual AI revenue and it’s very clearly not making any profit. Is the plan to just spunk a trillion dollars each?

It's not "the partisan press is the enemy of the government when it's controlled by the opposing party," it's "the government considers reporting truth to be a hostile act and will therefore treat journalists and protesters indistinguishably."
