My midlife crisis was supposed to be me finally writing my novel, not rebuilding my entire life. (Don't worry you dumb manuscript, I am still gonna get you).

That being said, here are some cool things I have figured out and reaffirmed over the last couple days.

What we need is a single subscription price for a bunch of reporters with their own interests and it could have sports and cartoons and…oh
i know that this is an unpopular take, but everyone starting their own newsletter as a revenue stream is not a sustainable model for writing and reporting or for people who love and want to pay for media.
A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.

The left Joe Rogan is Hasan Piker but establishment Dems hate him. There is no centrist Joe Rogan because it is impossible to be a centrist and build a slavish political fanbase because you stand for nothing, not even something atrocious.
I wrote a bit about the misguided effort by Democrats to replicate Joe Rogan the right-wing podcast ecosystem.

🚨BREAKING: The Court just granted a restraining order against the Trump administration in my lawsuit, Neguse et al. v. ICE et al.

The decision is a victory for accountability, congressional oversight and for the American people.

I’ll keep fighting to ensure the rule of law prevails.

From the last time the Washington Post did something stupid, and why you should think twice before telling (ex-)WaPo journalists to "just start a newsletter".

Thought Fallout S2 was pretty solid. Kinda got lost in the sauce there for a bit, but it all came together nicely. Definitely not as tight as S1, but getting seasons so close to each other instead of every 3 years or whatever is worth it.

I just requested 100, and I’ll have to plan on distributing them in the local community. Perhaps with the “know your rights” printouts as well.
