There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.

Every Republican member of Congress is complicit in this demented mania.

I forgot that the U.S. won the Vietnam war.

When Trump in 2016 first told the lie about once meeting Lombardi, I established then that it was bullshit. It was an apocryphal story. Though minus the usual telltale "Sir..."
It was also a gross mischaracterization of Lombardi, whose ethos was the opposite of Trump's.

As if there weren't ample evidence already, Trump's response to Robert Mueller's death is a reminder that the U.S. president is one of the most vile humans on planet Earth.

Wisconsin just got outcoached and outshot. They weren't lumbering or slow at all. That's an old stereotype that no longer applies. Nick Boyd is one of the fastest guards in the country. The team scored over 90 points many times.

Data only tells you what people already read. It can’t tell you what they will read. It inevitably narrows and homogenizes your content. This killed Sports Illustrated. I’m watching the identical stupidity syndrome at the Washpost

How Jeff Bezos Upended The Washington Post

This is a good but incomplete story. First, top editor and publisher ORDERED fewer stories -- insistently. Productivity didn't fall. Second, there is a wave of chaos, backpedaling in newsroom from absurd "data" math that is already seen as terrible miscalculation. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/b...

The nation is run by corrupt fascists and all The Washington Post editorial editors care about is protecting the advantages of the wealthy. Boring, sloppily written odes to the "free markets" day after day. It is impossible to overstate how much I detest this.

There is nothing in this world quite like @sallyjenx.bsky.social when she is rightfully pissed. Danny Snyder learned this. The boys clubs of the NCAA and IOC learned this. The golfers of bloody LIV learned this. And now she's full on ripping the cruel and stupid ownership/management of the Post.

Post Mortem | Robert G. Kaiser When Jeff Bezos bought The Washington Post in 2013 and promised to find inventive ways to make journalism profitable in the digital age, he seemed like a godsend. He wasn’t.

Malpractice. But that's too kind a word for these numbskulls.

And it is what LBJ asked his war cabinet on October 17 1967 as the 2/28 Battalion of the First Infantry was marching into a brutal ambush in the jungle 44 miles northwest of Saigon. 60 soldiers died in that battle. Tens of thousands more deaths would follow.

Is anyone -- besides Bezos and maybe scattered right-wingers -- reading Washpost editorials? They get worse by the day. Boring, predictable odes to the wealthy class, far worse than the Wall St. Journal.

As the Rev. Billy Kyles told me in 1988, "If King was Moses, Jesse is Joshua. He stands on King's shoulders. Whoever comes after Jesse will stand on his shoulders."

What a soory tenure. Good riddance. The first good thing that's happened for the (surviving) great journalists at the Post in a long time.

Matt Murray should have resigned. His rationalizations to Fox are specious. He acknowledges he has been working closely on all things with the utterly incompetent and corrupt publisher Will Lewis, who lierally hates the staff he is supposed to lead. That says it all.
