It's a good time to read this piece on 5 newspapers from Argentina, France, Scotland, Spain and Uruguay which are owned by their journalists and see this model as key to their editorial independence

These five newspapers prove journalism can thrive without billionaire owners
Owned by their journalists, these outlets from Argentina, France, Scotland, Spain and Uruguay see their model as key to their independence.

Keep in mind that "free markets" to men like Bezos means "the freedom to exploit" and "personal liberty" means "my liberty to personally amass unchecked wealth."
SCOOP: WaPo Opinion editor David Shipley is out. Jeff Bezos emails staff about a change to Post Opinions: "We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets."

What should journalists do about X? After Elon Musk's takeover, many wonder whether X is still useful for their work. Gretel Kahn spoke with @nytimes.com 's @kateconger.com and @rmac.bsky.social , who covered the platform for years and wrote a new book on its transformation.
These reporters wrote a book on Musk’s Twitter takeover. Here’s what they think is next for journalism and X
Kate Conger and Ryan Mac on Musk’s election interference, his courting of strongmen, X’s predictable decline and Bluesky’s improbable rise.

How did I forget Mphela’s 25-yard thunderbolt past Casillas in South Africa vs Spain (Confederation Cup 2009)? Rewatching the third place match on FIFA+ and honestly, how has this moment not been milked in commercials like Tshabalala’s 2010 World Cup opener? It was a free kick!

it’s that time when I’m figuring how I divert the remaining fund in HRA account to get a David Yurman gold neckpiece. I’ve been healthy this year for most part, my system deserves a gift. there should be a way to language this as an eligible medical expense, no?
