Listen Scott. You had me at quitting the Post. Here, take my likes and leave me alone!

brooklynkid53bskys.bsky.social•50 days ago

ok, what can we do about this ?

louisjj.bsky.social•50 days ago

Rhks for bringing this important fact up!

I'm not a troll, but tell the full story. Its kinda interesting and not this simplistic.

dugganpubs.bsky.social•50 days ago

I have to wonder if it would have been rejected if Bezos had not been depicted so obviously.

WP doesn’t deserve Ann Telnaes

But Scott... Isn't it you that says that Freedom of expression is only afforded to those who are already wealthy?

The owner of the paper does need some orange make up on his lips. He is dropping $100 Million an acre in Miami.

I say this as a WaPo subscriber: it’s 2025. Memes are more effective than cartoons these days.

Welcome to Oligarch Land.

And of course the delicious irony of WaPo's cowardice here – made possible by Telnaes's courage – is that this cartoon will now get, what, 100x the viewership it would have if the paper had routinely published it? Great lesson in how to fight the rising tide of authoritarianism.

100 x the viewership and it's making zero dollars for Bezos. 💜

I enjoy the short-sightedness.

democracy has ceased to function. When 23% of the population forces chaos and stupidity upon the rest of our society it is not even a functioning REPRESENTATIVE democracy any more. Most journalists helped end our nation FOR the people with their silence and cowardice. It represents oligarchs now
