Quick Hits

The Supreme Court has okayed California's new highly gerrymandered map, while GOP-controlled states continue refusing to fight fire with fire, because of Muh Princibuhls.

Femcels created fake boyfriends and fake husbands using a ChatGDP AI program. But now that specific program is being deactivated, and the femcels are freaking out.

YouTube report here.

Thanks to @ComradeArthur.

Media pricks are whining that some other media pricks are losing their jobs because they're losing the owners money.

Washington Post staffers thought they were sticking it to Bezos by talking anonymously to other outlets and egging on subscription cancellations. What did they think was going to happen?

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt
Jeff Bezos wealth in 2024: $194 billion

Jeff Bezos wealth in 2025: $215 billion

Jeff Bezos wealth today: $249.4 billion

Net increase in Bezos wealth since 2024: $55.4 billion

Cost of Bezos's 417-foot superyacht: $500 million

Amazon investment in "Melania": $75 million

Original Bezos purchase price of the Washington Post in 2013: $250 million

Bezos net worth in 2013: $25.2 billion

Net increase in Bezos wealth since buying the Post: $224.2 billion

Last reported annual losses of Post: $100 million

Number of years Bezos could absorb those losses with what he makes in a single week: 5

Now do WaPo financials year over year.

WaPo is a business, not a charity. The audacity of the expectation that Bezos is going to personally fund WaPo's losses year over year is exactly the entitled crap we expect from folks like Baker

The Post lost $100 million in 2022, $77 million in 2023, and $100 million in 2024.

And these upper-class rich bitches all say: Other rich people should put my rich friends on their personal welfare systems.

Confessions of a Conservative @TwisteChristian
A modest proposal: Perhaps @peterbaker and all the other hack journalists bitching and moaning should donate to keep the WaPo as it was, put their money where their mouth is so to speak?

Their entitlement is infinite, their contributions are nonexistent.

Nope. The Washington Post deliberately lied about me in an attempt to ruin my reputation, and although the editors were forced to issue a retraction, the reporter paid no price for it. The paper is rotten and its mercenaries will get no sympathy from me. https://t.co/hbjgj5teSx

Ah, yes. Normal people, who, to a man, are devastated that Jeff Bezos will not agree to indefinitely lose hundreds of millions of dollars underwriting a product that people clearly don’t like. https://t.co/nzarIfRt9G

I don't disagree with this quote, the problem is that it's utterly insincere.

What everyone in the media actually wants is some rich guy to backstop them pushing a partisan agenda in perpetuity, declining audience and influence be damned. https://t.co/qJyFO0NHlL

This spittle-spewing genius is the visual avatar in my head every time I see or hear the words "peaceful protests" or "resistance." This is the man Dems desperately want on their side and are encouraging to continue his loyal support for the cause.
