One thing about the enormous pressure journalists are under to make videos and TikToks and do streams that kills me is that, like… some of us are meant to be read and not seen. Commenters get SO MAD about the way I look whenever my face breaches containment! Just let me write!

There's a grim irony to the LA Times breaking this story about Karen Bass' inexcusable alterations to the Palisades fire reports, on the same day as the WaPo cuts.

Bass directed watering down of Palisades fire after-action report, sources say
One Bass confidant told a source that 'the mayor didn’t tell the truth when she said she had nothing to do with changing the report.'

You don’t have to smoke weed everyday. But a couple pulls at least once a week will keep you from making bad or emotional decisions.

I’m reading the part Jay-Z is named at on the Epstine files and… they way he’s mentioned on here doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
How would Jay Z know Weinstein and Epstine in ‘96? That was when Reasonable Doubt came out. Unless he was serving or something, that doesn’t quite add up.

Book The Crown’s Silence details how crown profited from and protected trade in enslaved African people for centuries

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.
His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.
Now he is tweeting in support of me.
This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.
