God it's so cooked. I could deal with the buyouts but the vision is gone and there's no desire to be a national paper, much less a local paper, anymore. This really hurts. Been reading the Post since I could read.

O'Neal is pushing "The Post into video podcasting, according to people familiar with the matter, aiming to launch a show hosted by Megan McArdle next month and a flagship program in January. The marquee show, I’m told, will be helmed by O’Neal himself."

Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy.bsky.social · 13h

Last week, new WaPo opinion editor Adam O'Neal quietly carried out another purge of staffers, cutting editors and major names like Marc Fisher and David Hoffman, among others.

Meanwhile, he welcomed three conservatives to the section.

The good news is: you don't have to be good at it. That's the power of a mass movement, especially one in strategic sectors like schools. You're important just by merit of being one regular person amongst thousands, preferably millions, of regular people. No tricks or codes necessary. Join the fun!

Dan Greene @dmgreene.bsky.social · 1h

Sign. Join. Go to the meeting. The first instinct is to keep your head down, get the work done, hope someone louder or smarter or whatever helps. But that's the coordination problem of fascism: if you, yes you, ordinary person who's never done this before, do nothing then we all lose.

Y2K was real. You weren’t impacted because the IT industry expended massive effort to update every piece of critical software that was written prior to the problem’s recognition.

We could take a moment and remember the Y2K scam … and the one where when your phone stopped working they told you it was because your hand got sweaty …. Ah Tech they are such trickers

I love this stuff. Most people watch Friends reruns and nothing else. Most people see a marvel movie and a horror movie or kids movie in theaters. Most gamers just play COD and Madden. Whole industries built on unused subscriptions and hungry whales.

Mat Piscatella @matpiscatella.bsky.social · 5d

Hyper enthusiast, price-insensitive players are really keeping things going, especially in the non f2p gaming space.

According to Circana's Q3 2025 Future of Games, only 4% of US video game players buy a new game more often than once per month, with a third of players not buying any games at all.

OK but 50 years of British cultural theory has produced small libraries about why the one (Thatchers "colorblindness") is intricately linked to the other (open white supremacy). There ain't no Black in the Union Jack is not just a catchy book title.

A reminder of how Mrs Thatcher's Conservative party in 1983, an era featuring much more widespread racial prejudice in the public, approached the issue of race and national identity:

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

Obviously not the main point here, but it's interesting how this is framed as content rather than policy.

"BREAKING" is typically what journalists or influencers say when they have a big story -- not what government officials say when they launch "undercover" operations

It's not, like, some minor paperwork mistake. If this is correct, ICE rammed a woman's car, threatened her derisively, shot her, and then wrote up a report claiming she drove at them.

Someone prosecute someone for perjury someday please.

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

The nazis themselves were not some clever masterminds where everything they did went perfect. They were also comical idiots who did ridiculous things, like invading Russia in the winter.

They gained power because the opposition couldn’t understand that the fascists were not rational agents.

Despite all the new money, ICE is not adding the capacity (beds or officers) that it said it would. There's just an upper limit on this crap, both technical and legal.
