In an effort to broaden its appeal, the Washington Post has changed its slogan from “Democracy Dies in Darkness” to
“Riveting Storytelling for All of America.” The following are six runner-up slogans that were in strong contention:
The Kid Rock of Newspapers

Every Subscription Comes With Free Trump Bible 

All the News by Writers Who Haven’t Quit

News? Fuck Yeah!

Ten Millionth Subscriber Gets to Ride in Bezos’s Rocket

“The Washington Post is continuing its transformation to meet the needs of the industry, build a more sustainable future and reach audiences where they are,” a Post spokesperson told CNN. “Changes across our business functions are all in service of our greater goal to best position The Post for the future.”

Question - should I now delete my Facebook account?

I’m not that active on it anymore but I enjoy seeing what’s going on in the lives of various friends and family members. It also includes a lot of my personal history and memories over the past 15 or so years.

How much to feed a cat?

I am the “mom” of 2 Snowshoe sisters. It’s a fairly large breed of domestic cat and I feed them each 1/2 can of Fancy Feast and 1/4 cup of Hill Science Diet weight control dry food twice a day. They are indoor cats and enjoy relaxing and napping during the day after a good night’s rest. My vet. says they are overweight and should cut back on their kibble.

It doesn’t seem to me that this is too much food but would appreciate other opinions.
