Oh nooo, I hope this doesn't happen! I always appreciated that the PD is locally owned, especially considering the fate of one too many newsrooms when out-of-state companies/hedge funds take over. sfstandard.com/2025/02/06/s...

Bought a Sunday print edition of the @houstonchronicle.com while in Houston for a layover. Can’t resist a good Sunday paper when I see one! This was $5 and it’s a nice big bundle. My kiddo was thrilled there’s a comics section! 🗞️ #supportlocalnews

Appreciate this @pressdemo.bsky.social update. There's been lots of chitchat among Santa Rosa friends about the impending school closures, and lots of confusion about how the decision will be made. Best place to stay in the loop (aside from attending these meetings yourself) is here:

The new Cruel Intentions series was fantastic. Already binged it all with my sister! We loved the way the series took elements from the film (like the car, the necklace, the bet) and made its own story out of it. Cece and Lucien were my fav characters. Caroline is so, so cruel! 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

New from me: Two influencers make very similar content promoting Amazon products. They dress the same. They buy the same stuff. They even have a similar tattoo. Now one is suing the other, claiming her rival won't stop copying her. But who influenced whom? www.theverge.com/2024/11/26/2...

Really good tip. Adding to this. If you see “share if you agree!” or “BREAKING” - always worth the 30 second Google. Attempt at garnering absence immediacy or encouraging quick engagement are common tactics used when spreading misinformation.

When I read Frog and Toad to my son I like to go deep and scratchy with my Toad voice. Definitely prefer Toad over Frog any day, although you can’t have one without the other. 💚
