@RobZacny I'm so sorry, y'all have been the absolute best and a joy to listen to for years. This is heartbreaking 💔

I'm not sure where to begin, except to say, with equal parts fury and sadness, that Waypoint is over. The team, myself included, have been terminated by VICE, and our final day running the website, the podcasts, and streams, will come to an end on June 2nd.

@patrickklepek I'm so sorry, this sucks. Y'all have been doing amazing work and have been a joy to listen to for years. This breaks my heart 💔

@joemfox @EmGusk 😍😍!! This made me tweet!

This news is sad, upsetting and, perhaps most of all, mindboggling. Over three years, Launcher attracted over tens of millions of users, the majority first-time readers of The Post and almost all of them under the age of 40.

[Mike Hume @MikeHumePost]

Today The Washington Post decided to lay off five members of the Launcher team and sunset the site. I’m heartbroken to lose @LeaderGrev, @JhaanElker, @pithyalyse, @Shannon_Liao and @Vahn16 to The Post's layoffs. 🧵

[Armand Emamdjomeh @emamd]

@Shannon_Liao I'm so sorry Shannon. You were doing such fantastic work here, and I'm heartbroken to see you and the rest of the Launcher crew go

[Shannon Liao @Shannon_Liao]

just still kind of in shock. but we did spend a lot of this month talking about layoffs. here's my substack link, it's a big work in progress: https://t.co/KEEUun7hc8

[WP Latino Caucus @WPLatinoCaucus]

1/ Not long ago, the @washingtonpost touted a global expansion that prioritized Spanish-language media in order to reach younger, more diverse audiences. Now, WaPo has cut verticals meant to do just that — @elpost & @postopinion_es — without notice to our newsroom or subscribers.

[Washington Post Data @wpdatateam]

For the past 8 years, The Post has tracked data on every fatal police shooting across the country.

Today we’re releasing a revamped interactive & public dataset of each killing with additional fields & a more detailed methodology on how we’ve done it: https://t.co/0eYfgKbmUt

This is a huge loss for CNN - Brandon's work is essential, he is the best to work with and I will really miss his newsletter in my inbox every week. Whoever snags him next is really lucky!!!

@LoBenichou @afpfr Congrats Lo!

Hello! NORCO is now available for PlayStation & Xbox consoles. For those unfamiliar: the game is a text-based point & click tribute to Louisiana's River Parish region. We've recently added several quality-of-life features, including full controller support. More on that below.

@rdmurphy @jeremybowers That’s what makes it so hard! It’s like arguing with a DM that never showed you the rule book

[Armand Emamdjomeh @emamd]

@nicobuholzerfox @PaigeOsburn It really does! And if you crave a beer, Athletic brewing is very good NA beer

[Armand Emamdjomeh @emamd]

@nicobuholzerfox There are also these hop teas from Hoplark that @PaigeOsburn has gotten us into https://t.co/NEpO5pcL3z

@nicobuholzerfox I love putting a few dashes of bitters in a glass of soda water!
