@stribrooks In a long-ago U of M class, philosophy prof and poet Keith Gunderson (1935-2013) shared something that stuck with me:
Dog
Happy dog
Happy happy dog
Putting to its final use
an old dead
fish

@davewiner Correction to my 1st comment: The “News Analysis” label for that story is black. (And amazingly, it’s not clickable.)

Anyway, just one facet of what the Times does.

[@danbarnes at mstdn.social @danbarnes]

@davewiner “News analysis” is a legacy newspaper thing that I think never has been well explained or understood. Such a blurring of the line between reporting and opinion strikes me as particularly risky now, even with better design.

@jeffjarvis @davewiner Fun to see that old Atex and XyWrite lingo (“save-gets”) alive on Twitter!

@NailaJeanMeyers Congrats on the big day!

@Lileks All the best, James!

@imanicruzen @PioneerPress Congrats!

@EAA, thanks for having that ticket team in the museum for redemption of pre-purchased Airventure admission ticket codes. Saved me a lot of time and steps today after parking in the Brown lot.

@TwinCitiesGeeks I was surprised and appalled to see that your Covid resources page still links to 2020 info on making cloth masks. We know now that they do almost nothing to protect. Why continue promoting them? You do also link to N95 sources. Focus on that.

@TerryMatalas See you soon!

Actually probably not, but I did manage to finish my first watch JUST IN TIME, before the show fell off of Hulu a few days ago.

And I really enjoyed the swell interviews with the 12M team on the Words Of The Witness rewatch podcast.

@afansview Congrats, Howard!

@TrekMovie Hard to see this as anything but terrible news. Private equity firms sell assets such as real estate owned by their acquisitions and cut staffing to the nub. As for Trek IP, just think of the product placement opportunities for AI adding beer and snack brand signs to Ten Forward!
