I’d appreciate if customs could release this fountain pen I spent too much on after my bonus came in.

ESPN had someone at the Wizards game last night for Trae Young's debut. The Washington Post doesn't have a word about it. www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...
The internal ethic of Washington Post staff is remarkable. They keep reporting their asses off even as they’re run by incompetent vandals. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
The nation’s dogs celebrate Kristi Noem getting fired.
Kristi Noem’s ouster was the result of “unfortunate leadership failures” and self-promotion that “overshadowed and distracted” from Trump’s immigration agenda, an administration official told Nick Miroff, Michael Scherer, and Russell Berman:
Right on time, @theatlantic.com
The Washington Post will let a wire service deal with this piddling event
Once again stupidity by the WSJ b-team that hijacked the Washington Post is the NY Times’s gain - a great Iran correspondent when most needed. www.nytco.com/press/our-ne...
Thousands in Iran attend burial of children killed in bombing of school. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/w...
They didn't know there would be airspace closures in a shooting war.
So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:
- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
How bout this for a middle-finger: entire Washington Post sports section now gone, save for 1 staffer moved to "features." The Post wanted to keep four sportswriters, but 3 of them rejected staying, instead joined raft of folks scooped by NY Times's @theathletic.com. www.nytco.com/press/the-at...
Pete Hegseth: “War is hell and always will be.”
Tommy Tuberville: “It’s war, it’s gonna git worse before it gets better.”
Markwayne Mullin: “War is ugly.”
Mike Johnson asked why War Powers Act is being ignored: “It’s not a war because it’s defensive in nature and design.”
I have to say the Post chose a hell of a moment to lay off all their foreign correspondents
As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.
But subscriptions will tell you that nothing has changed.
Well if there was a Washington Post...
Well look - there isn't even a tab for Sports on the home page. The Style section is mostly stories from a week ago. It's just bizarro. And pathetic looking.
I also suspect they're genuinely taken aback by the size of their miscalculation. As usual. Otherwise why the pretense?
I agree.
Another great piece by the best White House reporters in the business. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...
Not virtually. Every single one. Oh, except a handful of "editors picks" -- which were written a month ago by sportswriters who no longer work there because they were laid off, to be replaced by wire stories.
I mean, there are bigger issues in the world. But I'd just as soon read about those issues in a publication that doesn't willfully mislead its readers. And its employees.
@benmullin.bsky.social Hey Ben. Call the @washingtonpost.com and ask them if they still have a Sports section. See what they say.
Except everything.
When subscriptions told me there was "still a sports section that updates daily." I'd heard they were doing that and called to see if it could possibly be true. It is. They're actually telling readers Washington Post Sports exists -- and pointing them to a digital shell that is all AP stories.
I finally cancelled the Washington Post. I love my colleagues who remain there and will find a way to read them. But I'm not subscribing to a place that institutionally lies to its readers.
We’re sorry to see you go.
Hi Sally,
Your Washington Post Core Subscription has been canceled... We hope you’ll reconsider the value of the necessary and important work our journalists do to keep citizens informed. Absolutely nothing has changed about that.
