So glad @kairyssdal.bsky.social explained why they didn’t cover the White House chaos on @marketplace.org … and so glad they didn’t. My blood pressure and nervous system appreciate it.

A second writer I follow is leaving substack. I suspect substack might not be Not Evil. But I'll probably keep following the people I follow there, exacerbating the problem through network effects.

It's been so long since I've posted, I don't remember how to post and had to cast about for a long time before I noticed the blue box at the bottom of the screen.
