Santa Barbara News-Press

The Santa Barbara News-Press was a broadsheet newspaper based in Santa Barbara, California. It was founded in 1868 as the Post and merged with the rival News to form the News-Press in 1932. On July 21, 2023, it filed for bankruptcy and ceased publication.

The oldest predecessor of the News-Press (the weekly Santa Barbara Post) started publishing on May 30, 1868.

The Santa Barbara Post became the Santa Barbara Press, which eventually became the Morning Press, which was acquired in 1932 by Thomas M. Storke and merged with his paper, the Santa Barbara News
he parent company of the Santa Barbara News-Press, Ampersand Publishing, filed a copyright infringement suit on November 9, 2006, against the Santa Barbara Independent ("SBI")—where many former News-Press columnists had become contributors to the community weekly—claiming that a link on independent.com violated copyright law. The case never reached trial, as an undisclosed settlement was reached on April 28, 2008, resulting in a dismissal at the request of the parties

Barbara

Inspired by an Oct. 2020 meme of a woman named Barbara salty comments regarding someone's mistreatment of a fast food worker.

A Barbara is the antithesis of a Karen.
That woman stood up for herself and others she is such a Barbara.

Barbara

Barbara is not a girl. Barbara is a woman. A woman that has a lot to offer. On the outside, she looks completely different than she's on the inside. She can be so kind and sweet that she makes even the coldest hearts melt. She can be pure as the driven snow. But don't abuse her kind nature. With a snap, a sweet Barbara can become a Barbara that makes a chill run down your spine. Barbara can be dangerous, but if you don't do anything to her, she'll be the nicest person in your life. Even if you never know what to expect it's good to keep her by your side.
- Who is that kind person?
- I'm not sure but it looks like Barbara.
