Bezos orders major newsroom shakeup at the Washington Post, Gives Staff Ultimatum as It Pushes Them Out

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post pushing dozens of staffers out the door, offering opinion staffers, staffers with 10 years’ experience, and some desks buyout packages to leave the paper as he conforms the paper to his new vision. They have through July 2025 to decide.

Previously, Bezos announced his plans to lean into the traditionally conservative views of free markets and the right-wing viewpoint of personal liberties.

El #Washingtonpost escribe que #Alemania, junto con cuatro socios, entregará a #Ucrania misiles PAC-2 para Patriot, más antiguos y efectivos contra aviones. Y todo porque los RAS-3 se han terminado

#WaPo #Trump softens on #Putin as #Russia ’s military edge weakens, officials say

Moscow’s advantage on the #Ukraine battlefield is waning, experts say. But President Donald Trump seems disinclined to ramp up pressure on the Kremlin to engage in ceasefire talks.

I could believe the Washington Post would give an editorial to a trumpy washed up actor to talk about how brilliant they thought they were though, I am prepared for that, I will not be surprised, I'll be like Kleya Marki*....

For a while now #AP, #Reuters, and #NPR will post like one article on #Gaza and there will be more than a few on celebrities. I stopped reading #NYT and #WAPO years ago for all their wayward articles, collectively. American #journalism is missing a moral compass. Is this a reflection of what Americas want to read or just an explication of what is being fed to us? With genocide so low on the measure of American concerns it is no wonder Israeli #academic and #culture constructs are still permitted into the ecosystem whereas Russians where quickly and easily banned across networks.

#DJT #RWNL attack force wanted to put beltway's federal workforce into "trauma"... apparently attack is working according to this #WaPo article in latest #BezosPost

Obviously any violence is bad, but hopefully this is just “regular” crime and not politically motivated. Though I’m sure it’ll get spun regardless.

Two staff members of the Israeli Embassy were shot dead near the Capital Jewish Museum late Wednesday, the homeland security secretary said.

#WaPo #UN says no #aid has reached Palestinians in #Gaza yet

One aid group said the “ridiculously inadequate amount of aid” Israel was allowing into Gaza was simply “a smokescreen to pretend the siege is over.”

Jeff Bezos makes his most disgusting deal yet– a $5 billion dollar AI development deal with a company owned by MBS.

On May 13th, Bezos’ Amazon announced it would work with Humain, MBS’ AI company, to build an “AI Zone” in Saudi Arabia — and the two companies will spend more than $5 billion in the process.

In October 2018, Jamal Khashoggi, a writer for the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post, was killed and dismembered with the approval of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (better known as MBS) after Khashoggi entered a Saudi consulate in Istanbul to get paperwork for his upcoming marriage.

"Now, after all Bezos’ posturing about the free press, he’s cutting deals with people who murder journalists for saying inconvenient things. But maybe we should have seen that coming when he banned op-ed writers from opposing “free speech and the markets.” Does the freedom to assassinate count as one of the personal liberties Bezos claims to treasure?"

@techsinger @LadyScorpio Even now, when it’s just the way of life, finding a book I want to read in the most recent #WaPo books section and in most cases being able to get it and start reading it right now gives me a dopamine rush. It really wasn’t that long ago that I considered myself lucky if I got access to a book several months after its release, and then there was the issue of keeping up with the individual cassettes (I was terrible at it) and the individual Braille volumes. Put your hands together for technology!
