everything today was so terrible that we didn’t even get to celebrate Pedro Pascal saving the day and rescuing the Todd Haynes movie

The Spirit just keep drawing huge crowds 😎
Before even stepping onto the pitch, Denver Summit has made NWSL history. Their home opener at Mile High Stadium has surpassed 40,000 tickets sold, putting them on track to break the attendance record🏟️
The current record (40,091) was set just 5 months ago when the Spirit faced Bay FC at Oracle Park

That and the story about Rory Dames in Chicago which came out just days after the championship game
Outside of the loss of regular week in week out team coverage, the Washington Post was integral in uncovering the rot at the Spirit during the Baldwin/Burke era. The Spirit simply are no where near the team or organization they are today without that investigation by the Post

Minneapolis nominated for Nobel Peace Prize after anti-ICE protests
The Nobel Peace Prize has never been given to a city in the past, typically only going to individuals and organizations.

basically every journalist despite being friends with a lot of journalists is also competing with their friends for 1 staff position at the remaining newspapers and 6 freelancing spots that will take 6-18 months to pay 2¢/word

WaPo specifically making cuts to its most subscriber load-bearing sections like Sports and Metro while doubling down on commentary, which frequently does little for your bottom line, really underlines how much this is about what they want the Post to be, rather than what a good newspaper actually is

This sounds familiar... 🤔 But growing a newsroom from the ground up takes time and money — and frankly, we need way more resources than we have now to fill this massive gap.

I was in journalism for a little under a decade after working my tush off to get there. I left in part because my mental health was collapsing but also because I just couldn't see a world where I'd be able to have a family, a personal life, and above all stability and also be a journalist. Welp!

If you ever want to feel like you live in “the ruins of a once great civilization,” then read a local daily paper from the middle of last century — our predecessors had more and better knowledge of their neighbors, their societies, and their local democracies than we do about our own.

I like that @51st.news is being built from the ground up, and with support from individual readers. But that we are building something this way makes what Jeff Bezos did to the Post even more shameful. He has endless resources to sustain a great newspaper. He chose not to.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

The layoffs at the Washington Post have begun, with newsroom leaders telling employees its sports and books sections will be 'eliminated in current forms' and its international coverage will be downsized

sports coverage is not about box scores anymore. it's about power and politics and corruption and sovereign wealth and real estate and the use of taxpayer money and the most publicized labor disputes in the country and yes, sometimes about ball go in hoop
