This podcast is incredible. I’ve binged it in a day. It’s an astonishingly personal & brave story, but with wide-ranging, far-reaching implications; the digital era has given stalkers more weapons, misogyny is rampant, and online abuse causes real-life harm. A hard but important listen.

This note that Jeff Bezos just sent to Washington Post employees about the opinion page is leading Post employees to speak out publicly. Reporters like Jeff Stein (who is on the news side) say that if Bezos starts to interfere with his work he will quit immediately.

Looks like Jeff Bezos is the latest sycophant to be "grabbed by the pussy." Proud of my prior decision to cancel my subscription to The Washington Post. Looks like it is now time to be done with Amazon.
