Slate correspondent, author, improviser, game show loser. Still unapologetically off-topic.

I don't publicly talk about it much, but my mom's been sick with an Alzheimer's variant for a very long time. For years I've tried and failed to write about it. This week, I finally found the right peg. Thanks to

The Washington Post lost $100 million in 2024, which sounds like a lot. But that's only 0.00044% of Jeff Bezos' $227 BILLION fortune. For comparison, 0.00044% of $1,000,000 is $4.40. Bezos could cover the Post's losses every year for a millennium and never miss the money.
