- It’s only Feb. 4 but I am comfortable in saying The Muppet Show is the best TV program of the year.
- I know say I'm not on here for work—and I'm not—but I do work for a financially stable news organization with lots of open jobs right now. We don't have sports, arts, or local sections, but we're also not going to do a rug-pull and turn into a dime-store Free Press. DMs are open.
- Jon's been one of my closest friends (and sometimes my editor) for 20-plus years and threw me a lifeline when I wasn't sure if I was going to make it as a journalist. Every publication he's worked for did amazing things, so will the next one.
- Not just DC, a metro area of 7 million people
- 12 people left to cover the city of Washington, DC. 12 www.npr.org/2026/02/04/n...
- cutting Metro, which covers the communities where readers live, apparently not “essential to people’s lives”
- The Banner is already in the suburbs! It’s fantasy journalism but Stewart Bainum making an all-cash offer for the Post (which will always be much more valuable IP than the Baltimore Banner) is the best solution now.
- what a pointless and cowardly way to shut the lights off at a once-great newspaper
- victimless crime
- very glad to hear the "just make Star Trek" approach that makes Strange New Worlds great also applies to the Muppet Show
- Calling it now that The Odyssey will be the highest-grossing film of Christopher Nolan's career.
