No struggling newspaper ever saved itself by becoming a worse and less essential product. But what's happening today at the @washingtonpost is not just the latest devastating contraction of the news industry; it's the gutting of an American institution vital for a healthy society

The fact that Bezos isn't communicating this himself (apparently) is such an indictment of the guy. I know he's busy with the Melania doc and meeting with Trump officials for new contracts. but at least have the courage to dismantle your newspaper yourself.

A terrible day for journalism
My job at the Washington Post was just eliminated along w/the whole Books section, most of Sports, Post Reports, and many, many others. Silver lining: my last piece was on the Muppets.

Crocker-Paro most likely will be on Prime Video in the U.S.
@spsorby @DanRafael1 How does it manifest? If No Limit are putting on the show in Aus how does that help TGB/PBC? PBC puts up some money, and gets a % back?

The winning bid is the total purse for the bout with the split determined ahead of time. Crocker, as champion, gets 65% and Paro as challenger gets 35%. Registered promoters interested in bidding submit sealed bids that are opened at the appointed time. Highest bid wins and that
