I was tempted but having Rupert's lackeys involved was a bridge too far. I wish Jennifer would do her own Substack.

I wish Substack would have a subscription for a large number of blogs or all of them, at a discount. I can't afford to subscribe to more than two or three, and I'm up to three now, paid. With a paper, I got lots of information, and I thought I was supporting journalism. Not anymore.

you can read most if not all for free, you just can't comment.

That would be ideal. Gonna suggest it next time I comment on her column. (I don't have the sense that any of the columnists read the comments, but never mind.)

I believe that Jeff reads the comments because he sometimes comments on them. As an aside, I think Jeff is awesome.

I meant the NYT and WaPo columnists. Substack is different.

I bet they have a underling or two that scans them.

They do, or at least they read the early ones. Megan McArdle actually responded to one of my comments, and we had an interesting back and forth.

She reads them because she is a narcissist and can't believe we don't fall for her "glibertarian" trust fund baby bullshit.
