Excited for one of my favorite fall traditions. I lose an hour of sunlight and then, every four years, have some of the worst sleep of my life 🙃

This article is from 2018. Imagine what these misinformation campaigns can accomplish today with AI. Please just ignore anyone telling you not to vote because they're either talking from a place of ignorance or else it's straight up bullshit meant to stop you from exercising your rights. Yes, we need massive voter reform. Yes, we need to break up our shitty two party system full of war criminals. But unless anyone has an idea of how to successfully do that before November, please please just vote. Do everything else you can, but vote as well. And if you genuinely have a solution that allows us to not vote for Biden but also not let MAGA have the country, I'm open!! I just don't think it's possible this late in the game.

I will vote for a woman for president in United States Of America 🇺🇸 and it’s not Kamala Harris (Democrat/Liberal), it’s Jill Stein (Green Party). ❤️

I was today years old when I learned about Dixville Notch, a tiny (tiny) New Hampshire town that votes at midnight on Election Day to provide the very first results.

This year the town's six residents went 3-3. An outcome so funny that I can only congratulate them on it. I like to think there was a last minute swing as someone decided to commit to the bit.

(None of this year's voters were Democrats: it's 4 Republicans and 2 Independents, if you want to read tea leaves.)

I think it’d be really funny if the election results were called on Thursday…. Maybe around the time that 911 airs…… and a realization of sorts happens on the tv show 911 on abc…. while we’re waiting for election results….

well, this has been a depressing night so far

I realize Indiana will go to Trump. I wish it wasn't so, but I'm practical. Still. Only 29% reporting, Indy hasn't reported, Ft Wayne isn't done reporting, and they're calling it 🙃

4.8 million registered voters. Idk how apathetic the turnout will be, but 1 in 3 registered voters took advantage of early voting.

I’ve been no contact with my dad for a really long time but I almost want to break that and text him to taunt him about trump being found guilty (trump was my dad’s hero and he was OBSESSED with him when I lived with him)

Hard times have arrived at The Washington Post.

In a memo circulated among the paper's staff and obtained by Semafor media reporter Max Tani, company CEO Patty Stonesifer warned that although 120 employees have already accepted buyout packages, a further 120 must agree to do so, or they will be forced to "implement involuntary layoffs."

"As promised, I will continue to provide updates on the voluntary separation package and where we stand in the process," Stonesifer wrote. "As of today, 120 employees have accepted the package."

"We now have just under two weeks before the December 11 deadline for non-union employees and two and a half weeks before the December 15 deadline for Guild-covered employees," she continued.

Stonesifer went on to explain that although it was a "challenging time" for the company, the decision had been taken to "restore The Post's financial health."

“We have made the decision, if we fall short of this goal, to implement involuntary layoffs in those areas where we have already identified that positions do not need to be replaced, where work can be reassigned more efficiently or where we can otherwise achieve cost savings," she wrote.

“These layoffs would offer significantly less generous benefits than the voluntary package and will be consistent with prior layoff packages at The Post,” she continued.

The decision to lay off hundreds of workers was first announced last month and led to a furious reaction from the Washington News Guild.

In a statement, the Guild pointed out how the company was owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who they identified as "one of the richest people in the world."

"We are infuriated about this decision and concerned for our dedicated, brilliant colleagues," the Guild wrote at the time. "Today’s announcement comes after at least 38 people were laid off over the last year.

"Hard-working Post employees are going to lose their jobs because of a litany of poor business decisions at the top of our company," it continued.

"We cannot comprehend how The Post, owned by one of the richest people in the world, has decided to foist the consequences of its incoherent business plan and irresponsibly rapid expansion onto the hardworking people who make this company run."

Media reports have provided a range of explanations for the company's poor financial health. An article by The New York Times in July cited sources within the company as saying that the Post is expected to lose around $100 million in 2023.

Reasons for this included a decline in ad revenue, as well as a fall in digital subscribers, which have reportedly fallen from 3 million in 2020 to 2.5 million as of this year.

Meanwhile, declining newspaper circulation continues to affect vast swathes of the legacy media industry.

According to recent data from Pew Research, in 2022 the "estimated total U.S. daily newspaper circulation (print and digital combined) was 20.9 million for both weekday and Sunday, down 8 percent and 10 percent respectively from 2021."
