While it’s difficult to avoid the asshats* (and “there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism” notwithstanding), given Amazon Ireland has launched this week, just remember that every euro you pay them goes toward fucking billionaire Jeff Bezos who is helping Trump dismantle democracy in the US and elsewhere. So please do your best to shop locally – or with smaller EU shops – and avoid Amazon as much as you can.

* I really need to get the media for my Mastodon server off of AWS. Another bloody hassle I don’t need right now. *smdh*

5 yrs ago the editorial board wrote "Democracy is at risk, at home and around the world. The nation desperately needs a president who will respect its public servants; stand up for the rule of law; acknowledge Congress’s constitutional role; and work for the public good, not his private benefit.”

baron buyer of that iconic paper has since put his thumb on the scale.

The once disagreeing voices needed in the editorial opinion pages are muffled and only bending truth to please the owner and his new pals at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave in DC. Bezos has since announced he is paying over $40 million for exclusive rights to a documentary about the first lady produced by the first lady herself and directed by a Hollywood cretin who was last seen being chased out of town under a cloud of rape accusations.

This ain't Katherine Graham's , Woodward & Bernstein definitely don't work there anymore ... aren't telling truth or shedding light in darkness, but bending viewpoints towards vaguely defined support of the owner's interest in "personal liberties and free markets" ... and I , along with millions of others have canceled a long time .

tells of her final daze writing under Bezos editorial control, beginning with the passage...

"The values of the Post do not need changing,” Jeff Bezos told when he bought the newspaper a dozen years ago. He echoed the words of the Post’s Eugene Meyer in 1935, emphasizing, “The paper’s duty will remain to its readers and not to the private interests of its owners.”

...and ultimately reveals the rest of column that paper refused ... revealing "the unavoidable truth: the Washington Post I joined, the one I came to love, is not the Washington Post I left."

[The New Yorker]: Why I Left the Washington Post.

Owner Jeff Bezos wants to transform the Opinions section of the paper, where I worked for forty years. After the publisher killed my column disagreeing with that move—it appears here in full—I decided to quit. By Ruth Marcus, Wednesday, March 12, 2025
