No need, they lose it straight to DraftKings chasing a dumb parlay at 4:00pm from the comfort of their couch.

The general position of the Paper of Record on Epstein is really coming into focus.

Need a kind of college football playoff weekly poll thing to keep track of the fuckers

I assume this is more of a “you raise when you can, not when you need it situation” where we all know the bubb- I mean fundraising environment will turn soon, so they’re trying to get in under the wire?

Mr Ed goes to mortuary school?

RRRRRRRR-IIIIII-C-OOOOOOO!

War is hell.

And I don’t think the goal should be one outlet to rule them all! Make 50 different co-op style outlets, 15-30 journos each, all with their own following and viability. We need communicating silos, not just one “top” org.

You don’t need “the best”, you just need the right ones. Again, iirc Defector did it from the jump: selling subscriptions immediately, with underemployed journos that people already knew and respected. There are lots of those out there, but you can’t move fast enough w/o the preexisting trust.

The Defector model is a good one, but requires a core group that can quickly spin up something viable. They had a background together that made it possible, so the question is how to get that core of 15 people who can work together day one and generate the 2 million/year you need to make it work.

A year-over-year 45% increase is definitely not normal? Just to give you an idea, that means that by the end of Trump’s term their monthly payment would be $685.

He’s about to give us a sob story about how he never even learned to read, teachers just passed him from grade to grade to get rid of him, no one ever cared about him…
