I haven’t been overly thrilled with the Washington Post since Sally Buzbee came in but this seems much, much worse.

They let go of quite a few good journalists and have kept on those who seem determined to ruin their reputation. This definitely isn’t going to help.

It’s not a good sign for the publication or for the state of U.S journalism at all.

Washington Post - Matt Murray, former Editor in Chief of The Wall Street Journal, will replace Sally Buzbee as Executive Editor until the 2024 U.S presidential election, after which Robert Winnett, Deputy Editor of The Telegraph Media Group, will take on the new role of Editor.

Since MSM is asleep at the wheel 😡, it is incumbent upon we who are more plugged into to what’s happening to assist the campaign and make friends and family aware of what will ensue if TFG gets elected and implements .

A good starting point is sharing this Media Matters Project 2025 guide, which offers a good overview:

The job market is changing as more businesses and agencies spring up to address climate change. Legislation like Joe Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act is adding more investment in the education required for these fields.

These students will have important skills and plenty of jobs to pursue, and positively impact our transition to clean energy. Win-win.

Trump's Libertarian fiasco!

There's video all over of Trump being booed and jeered as he taunted the Libertarian convention and demanded they nominate him. It also is reported that MAGA people plotted to take reserved seats that were meant for Libertarian delegates -- a typical Trump plot device -- but the Libertarians weren't putting up with it. First Trump attempted to
promise them a seat in the cabinet if they nominated him, then he started belittling them for only getting 3% of the vote. All in all quite the spectacle. Now that's entertainment!

Looks like Trump is determined to LOSE this election. He's already alienated most Democrats and Independents. He's also alienated veterans, serving military (losers and suckers), Gold Star families, women, disabled folks, BIPOC, LGBTQ folks, and now he's stuck his boot up the Libertarians' butt.

So here's how it's going:

We got all the furniture into the POD and now have to pack what's remaining in the kitchen. So things are a little messy

Our twins are down from Canada helping, & their dear friend is here for the night from San Diego, to see them. We adore her. But it's a little chaotic

At 4:30 am we get a text--coincidentally we're awake--from our pal/realtor! We'd missed her earlier text, we have a showing today at 12:30. Oy. & why was SHE up?

Scramble time

Just a normal day

Conspiracy theorists exist in many planes of expertise and essentially prey on vulnerable people.

Birth control medication has potential side effects, but so does anything else you take and the risks are extremely low comparatively.

The “too dangerous” idea is a myth. Birth control is safe. Birth control is a good thing.

Joe Biden is trying to help indebted Americans.

TFG promised oil execs to get rid of environmental protections if they donate a billion to his legal fund/political campaign.

No word from Republicans on how further tax cuts for corporations and multi-millionaires are not reckless wealth transfers. Republican support for debt bondage is full-throated, however.

Saying “I support the right of Jewish people to exist” is already a little weird to me since I don’t see that as questionable (guess it is for some) but it definitely sounds bad if you add a “but” on the end. That’s not as supportive as you think it is, people who keep saying it.
