Maybe the split between media mogul Rupert Murdoch and “Florida man” Donald J. Trump isn’t permanent, but it certainly seems to have widened over the past week, judging by the treatment Murdoch’s New York Post gave to Trump’s announcement that he was, once again, running for president: The Post didn’t play the story on its front page, but did strip this teaser across the bottom: “Florida Man Makes Announcement.” As Katie Robertson of The New York Times reported, the Post’s story included these lines:

With just 720 days to go before the next election, a Florida retiree made the surprise announcement on Tuesday evening that he was running for president. In a move no political pundit saw coming, avid golfer Donald J. Trump kicked things off at Mar-a-Lago, his resort and classified documents library. … His cholesterol levels are unknown, but his favorite food is a charred steak with ketchup. He has stated that his qualifications for office include being a “stable genius.” Trump also served as the 45th president.

Now that Trump’s hat officially is back in the ring — well, of course, it never really was out of the ring — it’s time again for national media outlets to decide how best to cover him. This piece from The Conversation by Thomas E. Patterson, the Bradlee professor of government and the press at Harvard, offers useful suggestions.

And speaking of journalism, Gannett Co. — which owns the dailies in Eugene and Salem — has announced another wave of layoffs. The goal, according to Rick Edmonds of The Poynter Institute, is to slash another 200 jobs out of the company’s news division, which now has a headcount of about 3,440. In what strikes me as an unusually cruel move, the company told its employees in a memo this week that the people who will be losing their jobs will be notified Dec. 1 and 2, leaving folks twisting in the wind for a couple of weeks. Happy holidays!

For Harvard’s Nieman Lab, journalist Laura Hazard Owen has listed a dozen or so ways in which journalism could suffer if Elon Musk manages to destroy Twitter, which seems increasingly likely. See — even hellholes can serve a purpose.

You’ve heard that your vote makes a difference so many times that you can be forgiven for rolling your eyes at the old cliché. But just because it’s a cliché doesn’t mean it isn’t true: While I was researching this story for the Oregon Capital Chronicle about all the localities that placed psilocybin bans on this month’s ballot, I ran across numerous races that were settled by just a handful of votes — including this one, in Philomath, where the final seat on the City Council may come down to a single vote. (Philomath, by the way, was among the numerous Oregon cities and counties where voters approved a ban or a two-year moratorium on psilocbyin services.)

Last week’s Weekend Reader featured an article from The Oregonian/OregonLive’s Maxine Bernstein outlining all the ways that Measure 114, the gun-control initiative Oregon voters narrowly approved, might never be implemented — from legal challenges to sheriffs across the state racing to declare that they won’t enforce at least portions of it. That’s not the only statewide initiative that faces significant challenges to implementation: Measure 111, which enshrines affordable health care in the Oregon Constitution, also was narrowly approved, but its impact still is unclear, as Ben Botkin explains in this story for the Capital Chronicle.)

Four dams on the lower Klamath River are now slated for removal, after a decision this week by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The decision. coming after 20 years of debate and consideration, sets the stage for what’s expected to be the biggest river-restoration project in U.S. history — and the only practical way to save salmon in the river. B. “Toastie” Oaster’s story in High Country News offers a good look at what comes next.

You may not be able to scrape together the loose change to buy the house that was featured in the movie “A Christmas Story.” But perhaps you can afford the $1.65 million it will cost you to buy “The Goonies” house in Astoria. The current owner wants to downsize, her real estate agent says, but is looking to sell the house to someone who will keep it looking sharp — which will be good news to those fans of the movie who flock to it pretty much year-round.

The new edition of the environmental magazine Orion features a conversation between Corvallis writer Kathleen Dean Moore and illustrator Bob Haverluck about their new book, “Take Heart: Encouragement for Earth’s Weary Lovers.” The conversation focuses on the role artists can play in the battle against climate change. It makes for urgent, passionate reading. (The book, by the way, is quite wonderful.)

Thanksgiving is Thursday, and it offers an opportunity for generations of families to gather around a table to share a feast and express gratitude. It may also be a chance to quiz older relatives about their lives. In this piece for The Atlantic, Elizabeth Keating, a professor of anthropology, argues that we don’t know as much about our family histories as we should — and suggests some essential questions that could, at the least, trigger interesting conversations that don’t have anything to do with politics. (The piece is available only to Atlantic subscribers.)

That’s it for this weekend. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and I’ll see you back here next weekend.
