Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos just emailed the paper's staff to announce a "change coming to our opinion pages."
I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning: I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages. We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others. There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader’s doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the internet does that job. I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity. I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter. I suggested to him that if the answer wasn’t “hell yes,” then it had to be “no.” After careful consideration, David decided to step away. This is a significant shift, it won’t be easy, and it will require 100% commitment — I respect his decision. We’ll be searching for a new Opinion Editor to own this new direction. I’m confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America. I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion. I’m excited for us together to fill that void. Jeff

"Before you are published, you may feel like a loser who stumbles around at cocktail parties not knowing how to explain yourself. But if you’re a serious writer, you’re a lucky loser because you can create something out of nothing." ~ Caroline Langerman

Don’t Do the Thing That’s Not the Thing
By Caroline Langerman A few years ago, a woman who had seen my essays in The New York Times wanted to connect with me about “how to get published.” At this time, I had two babies (my main work!), a…

I'm fairly certain if I were in this position I would simply find a different college to graduate from
Why Is N.Y.U. Forcing Protesters to Write Apology Letters?
The university calls it a “restorative practice”; the students call it a coerced confession.

Just because they could cobble together the air rights to build a supertall in downtown Brooklyn doesn't mean people with the kind of money to afford it are going to want to live on a shitty block of Flatbush Ave, it turns out.

Sometimes feels like Brooklyn is a quaint little small town where we all hang out at the same bar all the time

These cars can barely handle mellow San Francisco streets, they got a rude awakening coming when they try to deal with the chaos that is NYC.
