Were the book sales worth it @jaketapper.bsky.social?
You really are an insufferable sellout.
Biden never slept through meetings but Jake Tapper wrote a whole book about how he was too old.

they'd have let ellison buy it.

this is so fucking stupid it hurts. i get that creating monstrous media empires is bad news, but the alternative right now is billionaire cockrangers buying everything up so they can control the industry.

I don’t understand why people attempt to denigrate Hallmark Christmas films by referring to them as “too cheesy”, as if that is a bad thing? I mean, have you *had* cheese? It’s not exactly the insult that you think it is.

When you're about to rant about something trivial, and Life reminds you that some souls are really struggling. So, instead, I'm sending out some love, hugs, and healing beauty.

None of us are guaranteed tomorrow. Savor the precious time and memories. Take care of each other. ❤️

It's not nice rewatching a show from my childhood about adults and realising I'm now much older than all the main characters.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Okay but here me out:

A nighttime library in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, an emotional support library ghost leads you to the books you are looking to find, and midnight croissants are served during every full moon.

Thanksgiving is this week,
and even though we don’t celebrate
it here in the UK, I wish we did. There’s
something beautiful about pausing,
sitting together, and naming the things
we’re grateful for. We could all use
more moments like that. 😊

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Viola Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, has died. She was 111.

"I have lived through the massacre every day. Our country may forget this history, but I cannot," she told Congress in 2021.

Geoff Bennett has more.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Check in on your friends and family, and don't leave to tomorrow what you can do today.

Life is both beautiful and extremely hard for a lot of people. Maybe, just maybe, a gentle reminder that none of us are alone could make all of the difference xx

Be kind to yourselves, we're deserve it :) xx

Most people you meet are just trying to get through their day, wanting to be happy, and needing to feel loved, while facing the obstacles they have in life...just like you. We can all use some extra smiles, kindness, and compassion.
