Okay, it’s gone public.
I’m comfortable saying this. The new owners of KOMO Newsradio laid off most of their reporters and editors. They are great journalists, producers, and board operators. I’m happy to connect you with them.
Truly a bad day for Seattle journalism.

"Work experts have warned for years that the combination of baby boomer retirements, low birthrates, shifting immigration policies and changing worker preferences is leaving U.S. employers with too few workers to fill job openings." https://t.co/59Q49GEtwD

SVB invested in and gave loans to support affordable housing projects, especially in the Bay Area.

What does their collapse mean for projects in the pipeline?

More states could step in on student loan forgiveness, per @espovich and @pewtrusts : https://t.co/DfE1Qgs1Y0

Great writeup of two Seattle broadcast legends who are signing off. @GreggHersholt and @TheConsumerman - a privilege working with you both! https://t.co/j46oapzKZt

I was let go from my job at WVPB last week following threats from DHHR about my reporting on DHHR’s treatment of people with disabilities.

My team met with @Twitter today. They told us that they're not going to retaliate against independent journalists or researchers who publish criticisms of the platform.

Less than 12 hours later, multiple technology reporters have been suspended. What's the deal, @elonmusk?

[Jason Kint @jason_kint]

I created this quick doc to track all journalist twitter accounts suspended tonight. Please reply to this thread with any I’m missing or any that are reinstated. 🙏🏽 THANKS. https://t.co/ooJvQFfI7z

[Jason Kint @jason_kint]

I don’t know what happened here but if @elonmusk doesn’t fix this within the hour with an explanation by morning, I’ll be on Capitol Hill tomorrow demanding that he be hauled in front of Congress.

Data show us where our actions have the greatest impact. Our Global Skills Initiative report shows that skilling is one area where we can help more people get better jobs. That’s why we are committing to help train and certify 10 million people by 2025. https://t.co/OUB7NKWkeu

OK, @Mariners , let’s do this! #SEAUsRise #PostSEAson

[Shannon Drayer @shannondrayer]

I do not like telling fans how to fan, but this is not how you fan. I would also remind you that your favorite #Mariners see this garbage too.

A great way to show Paul appreciation would be to donate to "Sewald's Strikeouts 4 Kids." Info in link.

How sweet it is!

Rick’s call still has us crying 😭

It’s ok to compliment #Hattiesburg without disparaging #Jackson. Yet, the governor of the whole state of #Mississippi said this. #msleg #msgov

@AustinJenkinsN3 @PluribusNews @PoliticsReid Wow Austin, that's big news. Excited for you as you close out this era and begin a new one. Congrats!

Leading edge of the Bolt Creek Fire as seen from Baring, WA looking NE up on the slope. The main inferno is still currently roaring a bit further east near Grotto. Can confirm, the wildfire sounds like a freight train. #wawx

Editors at @ThePlaindealer refused to abide by the ridiculous rules imposed on journalists trying to cover a rally for J.D. Vance featuring Ron DeSantis. https://t.co/lOapbD3Iz8 So they didn't write about or photograph it. But they did publish this graphic: white space with an X.
