Berkshire Dumps Most Of Its Amazon Shares, Sells More Apple And BofA; Buys Small New York Times Position
In Warren Buffett's last quarter as CEO of Berkshire, the Omaha conglomerate slashed several key positions, most notably Amazon which was reduced by over 77%, as well as core holdings Apple and Bank of America, while adding modestly to a handful of stakes such as Chevron and Chubb, and entering a tiny new position in the New York Times, the just published 13F for Q4 2025 revealed.
Berkshire's most notable moves were all sales, led by a 7.7 million share dump of AMZN, a 77.2% drop in Berkshire's holdings, to just 2.28 million shares from 10 million as of Q3. Berkshire first bought a stake in Amazon in 2019; at the time Buffett said that despite his historical aversion to technology stocks, he'd been “an idiot for not buying” the online retail giant's shares sooner. Six years later, Buffett - or whoever runs the stockpiking there - has clearly decided they would be an idiot to kee...

Ellavoz Children′s Literacy Program Visits Oliver Street Elementary School in Newark, New Jersey (Business Wire)
|
|
|
NEWARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Ellavoz Children's Literacy Foundation (ECLF) announced today the successful visit by New York Times bestselling author, Beth Ferry, to the Oliver Street Elementary School as part of a grant program to promote literacy and encourage the love of reading. Mrs. Ferry spoke to approximately six hundred students in Kindergarten through 5th grade.
Ferry, an award-winning author with over forty titles in print, took the students through the process of writing a book, from the idea to the first draft to ultimately the finished manuscript. She emphasized the importance of revision and explained how success in any field cannot occur without practice and revision.
The older students joined Ferry in exploring the many different ways writers and readers can enjoy words, by learning them, using them, and playing with them.
“I've never seen students so enthusiastic to play word games with me,” Ferry said of the third, fourth and fifth graders. “They were bursting with excitemen...

Border Patrol Fired Army Lasers At Party Balloons, Forcing El Paso Air Traffic Shutdown (ZeroHedge)

Border Patrol Fired Army Lasers At Party Balloons, Forcing El Paso Air Traffic Shutdown
On Wednesday, after the FAA suddenly shut down airspace over El Paso, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the unsettling move was prompted by a "cartel drone incursion," and assured Americans that "the threat has been neutralized."
However, that shutdown, which impeded everything from commercial air traffic to medevac helicopter flights, was actually caused by a trigger-happy border Border Patrol unit firing a US Army laser weapon at a party balloon, not far from El Paso International Airport.
The introduction of the weapon into a border-security role without FAA approval may have violated federal law. The proposal for arming the border patrol with the anti-drone weapon was first presented to Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg in the spring of 2025, sources tell the New York Times. The goal was the interdiction of drones used to smuggle drugs across the frontier. Ac...

Why is the Washington Post cratering so spectacularly? | Margaret Sullivan (The Guardian)
|
|
|
To understand the change in Washington Post's fortunes, it is worth comparing its demise to the New York Times's trajectoryNot so long ago – it's been less than a decade – the New York Times and the Washington Post were almost neck and neck in the race for readers, reputation and scoops. The Times was always bigger, but the two were somewhat comparable.These days, that's far from reality. The Post has been declining in influence, newsroom staff and financial health – losing at least $100m a year – while the Times is on an astonishing upward trajectory, with operating profit approaching $200m annually.Margaret Sullivan is a Guardian US columnist writing on media, politics and culture Continue reading......

NY Times Columnist Says Vance's Mother Should Have Sold Him To Feed Her Addiction
Authored by Jonathan Turley,
In an age of rage, it is often difficult to stand out in the mob as so many pander to the perpetually irate.
However, New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie has found a way to win the race to the bottom.
In a posting on Bluesky, Bouie mocked the account of the addiction of the mother of Vice President J.D. Vance, saying that she should have sold her son for drugs.
Bouie used Bluesky (the digital safe zone for the viewpoint intolerant on the left) to post one of the most reprehensible attacks on Vance. Bouie wrote that “this is a wicked man who knows he is being wicked and does it anyway.”
That is hardly notable on today's rage scale.
However, he then decided to use the painful addiction history of Beverly Aikins against her son: “No wonder his mom tried to sell him for Percocets. [I] can't imagine a parent who wouldn't sell little JD for percocet if they knew he would ...

David Sacks Exposes New York Times For Shielding Reid Hoffman In Epstein Files
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,
Venture capitalist David Sacks has slammed The New York Times for its glaring failure to scrutinize Reid Hoffman, the LinkedIn co-founder emerging as the top Silicon Valley figure in the explosive Jeffrey Epstein files.
In a scathing segment on the All-In Podcast, Sacks highlighted how the establishment media targets right-leaning tech moguls while giving a free pass to left-wing donors deeply entangled with Epstein.
“Brad, you speak about the corruption of power centers. I think a major one has to be The New York Times,” Sacks urged.
David Sacks Asks Why the New York Times is Protecting Reid Hoffman ?
“The number one person in the Epstein files from Silicon Valley which is Reid Hoffman … stayed at not just the island, but the townhouse and the New Mexico ranch.”
