100,000 people willing to pay you for news and you can’t make the math math.
I just keep thinking about the fact that the AJC has one hundred thousand digital subscribers and still laid off 15% of its staff this week.
How much money is enough? How many subscribers is enough? When is the blame purely on the execs instead of the journalists?

I get this, but here's where I'm at:
Trump & Vance are the worst of us. America is bigger than them, and they win if we let them define us.
Team USA is the best of us. It's filled with Americans MAGA hates—first-generation + immigrants, LGBTQ+ athletes, people of color—& I'm gonna root for them.

I really really want these athletes to have a great experience, be competitive and perhaps win a gold medal, but, honestly, the thought of hearing "USA!USA!USA!" during their games kinda makes me cringe. If we were any other country the IOC would ask us to march under the olympic flag.

I am currently in the field working on an upcoming Falcon Scott project, but I’ll give it a few days and talk about it on the next Single Wing
Given his past stance on writing columns for the Post despite past ominous developments, which I thought was fair at the time, I can't help but be curious about @stevengodfrey.bsky.social's thoughts on this.
Me on the death of the Washington Post sports section.

Over 3,400 journalists were laid off in 2025
The next item in the auction was a week in a house in Sag Harbor. As the auctioneer was in the middle of talking about the item, Bari shouted “Name your price!” Didn’t wait for the bidding to begin. She won it for $25k.
