    That was a challenge! A lot of good fill in a big grid. Not sure I fully understand the theme. The cluing was challenging. Some glue, but totally reasonable.
    One small factual error in the clue to 42D — it's a bit out of date as Bezos stopped being CEO in 2021.

      Thank you. It’s been updated.
      As for the theme, the answers are sources for bad news (i.e. things one may receive/buy that tells them some sort of bad news)
