💘You find a match! From the person’s profile, they sound funny, warm, confident. Great vibe. The right amount of self-deprecating humor... Is your match using AI? I built a dating profile refiner to show how AI changes modern romance. wapo.st/3OdJGxo

I stand in solidarity with my colleagues who were laid off by The Washington Post. A lot of others stand with them, too.

Hundreds of our members have been laid off without rhyme or reason. Those who remain are reeling. One of our own started this GoFundMe. If you are inclined, feel free to share or donate. gofund.me/f0f6a0b8d

So many have given to The Post Guild’s fundraising effort, and we are floored. But we also ask you to consider supporting the fundraiser for our international staff and staff in our bureaus who aren’t Guild eligible. They are absolutely vital to coverage. gofund.me/a325666b6

If @JeffBezos follows through with reported staff cuts, he will kneecap @washingtonpost journalism at a critical moment for our democracy. Please join @PostGuild this Thursday at 12pm for a rally in front of the Post's DC office #SaveThePost wbng.org/2026/02/02/save-the…

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.
Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp. Despite how difficult this job can be, I am proud to be a foreign correspondent at The Washington Post.

My last article of the year: A hypothetical think piece asking you to design the selection process for skilled immigrants to the United States. washingtonpost.com/opinions/… Does making 4x salary make someone more valuable than someone making 1x salary? What do you think?
