History will not be kind to Jeff Bezos.

If #Hegseth had added a #WashingtonPost reporter to the group chat then odds are Jeff #Bezos would have buried the story. #USpol #WaPo

You know that if #Hegseth had inadvertently added a #WashingtonPost reporter to his #Signal group chat instead of an #Atlantic reporter the story would have been buried. #USpol

#WaPo headline: "Alexa is getting creepier. Take this one step to improve your privacy. #Amazon is ditching an option to opt out of sending #Alexa voice commands to the company. It highlights the growing hunger for our personal data in the #AI age."

The WaPo solution: Stop your Alexa device from saving your voice recordings.

The better solution: Get rid of Alexa entirely: Amazon will still be spying on you.

Let this very stupid move be the death knell for Amazon

From @paulkrugman.substack.com "I don’t know about you, but I don’t think #Trump’s problem is that he’s doing a poor job of explaining his #plan. I think his problem is that he’s offering #fake answers to #fakeproblems, and the public — unlike, apparently, the #WashingtonPost — isn’t buying it."

A sign of democracy flickering? I noticed the “democracy dies in darkness” motto no longer shows on my app when I launch it. (Still on the print masthead, however) #washingtonpost #democracy #journalism #bezos

Mamá, que dice el #PRI que el #WashingtonPost le robó su manual de estilo.

Trump Praises Bezos’ Makeover of the Washington Post
https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-praises-jeff-bezos-makeover-of-the-washington-post/

Die "Post" ist die einst stolze Zeitung, Watergate usw., die nun auf dem Weg zur Regierungsklitsche ist, weil Amazon-Chef Jeff Bezos die Trump-Agenda als Linie im Meinungsressort ausgegeben hat.
"I stayed for forty years, six months, and six days",
schreibt die Journalistin Ruth Marcus und verlässt die #WashingtonPost

Um, I ended my #WashingtonPost subscription a year or two ago so I don’t visit the site much but….

since when did they GO DARK on the homepage? Black background, white text.

Given their slogan “Democracy Dies In Darkness,” um, one must ask….

IS THE POST TELLING US DEMOCRACY IS DEAD!?

I mean wtf?!
