The questions I have are: Will their erstwhile employers be auditing the work these two did in 2020-2024, and sharing the results with their readers? How can you trust any of the coverage from those publications?

I did the same, I use Proton Mail and DuckDuck Go for browser. DDG will create a masked email for me for sites I subscribe to and Proton has free VPN.

The fact that both of these people have prestige jobs despite being not just terrible people who are actively eroding faith in the industry and humanity in general, but appalling writers, is extremely upsetting.

My spouse made a great point last night, which is that Mamdani should just schedule a weekly call with Trump where they bullshit about miscellaneous things that amuse the President until at the end, Mamdani pulls a Columbo and goes "Oh, ah, one more thing — about that Medicare expansion..."

I was worried this was a trap but actually yes, go google this instead of whatever else you were about to google
I would like all of you, each and every one, to go google “Miss Universe National Costume Competition 2025 Norway” right now

At a recent gathering of Rogers Park volunteers, we heard from a neighbor who choked up telling us about their dad turning around and going home when he heard whistles up the street. "One of you may have saved his life that day." It all matters, it really does.
One thing that is tough about rapid response/patrols, besides constantly being threatened by armed secret police, is that for the most part they see the defeats. There are exceptions, but you’ll never know how many people were saved by slowing feds down, whistles, community alerts, etc.

This is amazing. (They set up CO2 monitors in all the rooms and made the data easily accessible and viewable.)

Point: The free part is as bad as they say. Don’t subject yourself.

Counterpoint: I can’t stop laughing.

Bonus points for revisiting on the bamboo metaphor.

But really, it’s bad poetry about two people you don’t want to imagine having sex and you’ll be unhappy if you read it.

OK, he is wisely paywalling now, but (a) the excerpt from today is more than anyone wants or needs; and (b) I am not giving that dude a dime, so thus endeth this particular hike on the Appalachian trail.

Shop with small independents (like me) instead of the big high street names.

This is a Hail Mary that’s also a late Marvin Gaye cocaine divorce record.

I feel dirty even knowing about it.
