A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

Not to pull rank, but it's objectively the case -- it was statistically a fact -- that at least during my childhood no newspaper meant more to its city than The Post did to D.C. It is impossible to think there does not remain long-term value in covering non-national news of interest to its readers.

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

Not on the beat anymore, but there's a real Burkean lament to be written about Notre Dame foregoing a bowl after missing the playoffs. "Notre Dame" is basically a creation of the Rose Bowl, as so much in the imagined community of college football is.

Nice to see the launch of "Replay Booth" a new sport history podcast by @joshuablevin.bsky.social (formerly of @slate.com ). There's space for the kind of thoughtful, engaging sport stories the old "Only a Game" on NPR used to run, and this could be it. www.replaybooth.show/p/replay-boo...

Replay Booth, Episode 1: Wilbur Huckle for President
Two mysterious Mets-related buttons kick off a 60-year journey, with stops at the Republican Convention, a tiny town in rural Texas, and the courtroom where Donald Trump got fined $355 million.

I know there are anti-SLAPP laws and of course the First Amendment, but it seems like the greatest hurdle to this tactic turns out always to have been unenforceable prosocial norms, perhaps with the stick of shaming, as well as nobody's being quite this wealthy bsky.app/profile/kate...
