this is an important moment for @JeffBezos. Even the absence of him speaking out on this would be a psychic blow to the paper and industry.

F.B.I. Searches Home of Washington Post Journalist in a Leak Investigation

It is exceedingly rare, even in investigations of the unauthorized disclosure of classified information, for federal agents to search a reporter’s home.

As members of @NYTimesGuild, we are baffled and infuriated by the Times proposal to dissolve our storied and award-winning Sports department. This announcement is a profound betrayal of our colleagues and of Times values.

Yesterday, @nytimes leaders thanked staff for "a remarkable year" with an email. They can thank us by agreeing to more bargaining dates. They can thank us with raises. They can thank us with a contract that acknowledges we are part of the success.
"Ralphie from A Christmas Story sits on Santa's lap. He has a NYT guild logo and the text says "I want a complete contract with fair agreements on wages, return to office, DEI and healthcare." Santa is labeled "NYT management" and his reply is "How about a nice email?"

Let’s get it right, he’s the first male player to score at five World Cups. Marta did it first, and scored at five consecutive Olympics. 🐐

Points A and B fixed in the plane. A point P forms the apex of a triangle. What curve is traced by P if this point moves in a way that preserves a) the area of ΔABP? b) the perimeter of ΔABP? c) the measure of the angle at B in ΔABP? d) the measure of the angle at P in ΔABP?
