friendly reminder that socialist mayors governed Milwaukee for nearly half a century from 1910-1960
during this time Milwaukee achieved milestones such as being the healthiest, safest, and best-governed city in America

In full red autumnal colors
With a shadow-black trunk
On a sun-drenched, blue sky Sunday.

Not to be a dick, but my newsletter is six years older than Substack. Baseball Prospectus, as a paid product, is 13 years older. Also, "audience-backed media" covers radical concepts like "books," "magazines," and "newspapers." The idea that people shouldn't pay for words is a recent invention.
We have to start separating Substack’s failure from the model of audience-backed media. They are not the same thing. Substack is failing as a business AND they are failing creators but the audience model works

The political right's greatest project is discrediting experts. Only in a "do your own research" world can their cultural preferences - anti-abortion, anti-gender affirming care - claim equal legitimacy to the left's medically-backed positions on those issues.
