Today I’m walking off the job with 750+ of my Washington Post colleagues because the company is breaking the law and bargaining in bad faith. Respect our picket line by avoiding Post journalism on Dec. 7, and send a letter to our bosses here: https://t.co/He7MP7kuwg

Proud to stand with 700+ of my colleagues in fighting for a fair contract that keeps pace with inflation and guarantees a living wage. You can show support by avoiding Post journalism on Thursday and by sending a letter to our publisher: https://t.co/4AfdrNFupZ

Workers @washingtonpost have been in contract negotiations with our bosses for 18 months. But the company is refusing to pay us what we’re worth or bargain in good faith. So on Dec. 7, we’re walking off the job for 24 hours. https://t.co/GCraL1I0nm

Spoke with Ron Carter last night about Bill Lee, the late bassist and composer. "His sound was not aggressive, it wasn’t fighting to be heard," Carter said. "It was a sound that gravitated to the listener’s ear." https://t.co/ro5KwswyCt

"Making a movie is like casting a spell." My obit for Kenneth Anger, the queer filmmaker, avant-garde pioneer and "Hollywood Babylon" author whose eye-popping films drew on his interests in Tinseltown glamour and occultist Aleister Crowley. https://t.co/BC8doTiL95

the moon is not full and I am sitting on my couch, not out in the city, but it is a beautiful night (seems like it always is) to read colson whitehead https://t.co/oqNoDq8CcI

RIP Jim Brown. Discussing why he left the NFL (where he was a self-described “highly paid, over-glamorized gladiator”) to become an activist and actor, he told The Washington Post, “I was a symbol of a Black man who wanted all of my freedoms.” https://t.co/WIV7imgAhO https://t.co/JIAcK9Bf2h

Lot of interesting economics in this story about Robert E. Lucas Jr., but the most fascinating detail is how his ex-wife was convinced he would get the Nobel Prize, and successfully arranged to get half his winnings as part of their divorce agreement https://t.co/toff0nGvfX https://t.co/P18DACf8hs
