    "It’s been another terrible week for the Washington Post. The newsroom is bracing for a devastating round of layoffs, with rumors flying that some desks may be shuttered entirely. Sportswriters were stunned to learn they would no longer be attending the Winter Olympics in Italy (management later reversed course, saying a small contingent would cover the event), while the Post’s foreign correspondents have been pleading with owner Jeff Bezos to spare their department in desperate posts on X, noting the groundbreaking work they’ve done in Ukraine, the Middle East, Venezuela, and elsewhere at a time when Donald Trump’s foreign policy activity has been frenetic. For the time being, no one knows how deep the cuts will actually be, but staffers are anticipating around 100 job losses in the roughly 800-person newsroom alone. One staffer told me that “every desk is allegedly losing jobs.” The expectation is they’ll hit next week.The ostensible reason for the layoffs is that the Post, like many other newspapers, is losing money. But unlike other newspapers, the Post is also in the midst of a demoralizing destruction of its brand that has alienated hundreds of thousands of subscribers and left even its staff unsure what the paper is trying to do, both journalistically and business-wise. “I’m increasingly finding it hard to justify the cuts from a journalistic perspective,” said one staffer. “Of course, financially, the Post is in a deep hole and I understand that. But some of that hole, if not a lot of it, is because of Jeff Bezos.”"https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/inside-the-washington-posts-existential-meltdown.html#USA #Journalism #News #Media #Newspapers #Amazon #Bezos #Layoffs

    👽️🔭Scientists just found a Super-Earth Exoplanet.It's just 18 light-years away: a super-Earth named GJ 251c with a minimum mass about 3.84 times that of our own planet. The most exciting part? It's smack-bang in its star's habitable zone — an orbital distance neither too far from nor too close to the star to support life.🖇️Check my Image Description’s🖇️https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-3881/ae0e20#251c #exoplanet #astronomy #physics #science #media #space #observation #tech #news

    I've been absent from my work for two days due to a moderate cut on my finger. " Can't put on my shoes It is perhaps difficult for me to be away from work for 2 consecutive days. I don't go out to see, witness, & personally observe the news, but today was somewhat comforting—this stagnation, this not seeing the sadness in the eyes of the people around me, not seeing the hunger & misery.Please pray for me to recover soon and return to my work. 🍉♥️#gaza #genocide #journalism #palestine @aral
