Am a bit confused by the unexpected largesse and clanging computer bells, but if I owe you too know that I'm grateful! Hope some others also can benefit from this info.

I whollly agree about this revelation's importance. (I posted maybe the first gift link to the piece—Where Fleet Street values intersect with Silucon Valley ethics.)

Say what you will about the nyt, it chose to adapt to internet reality with puzzles, cooking, etc, without compromising news. With only killer cyber experience, Bezos has no one on the business side to consult on industry ethical standards. News as commodity. Silicon Valley+Fleet Street rules.

The last time I used google search was before the first time I used duckduckgo, immediately after it was introduced several years ago. DDG—good enough.

This is what happens to NYC when New York voters elect upstaters to statewide offices. (Don't get me wrong—Andrew Cuomo made himself an upstater too.)

Why do the nine hate cities? Wanna bet whether this is one that sent Justice Sotomayer to a locked room to cry privately?

So did I mean the Haaretz app. So I just tried to DL it. It wouldn't install!!! Just spun. Twice. Why does Haaretz hate me? WaPo gift links time-out too, but after days, not hours.

Oops—i had to go do other stuff. I'll keep an eye on the Gift feed and next time will reluctantly DL the app since that worked for you before. Again, thanks! I do appreciate your efforts.

Steve and Teddy? Yeah, I spent some time there for about a year, '68-'69. You writing something? Lucian Truscott, who is here and on Substack, also remembers—and has written about it.

Thank *you*, but in my browser this is the same DB-one freebie transaction. I don't like the bluesky app, but maybe the link works as a gift there. (I had hoped somebody would start posting haaretz links here!)

What am I missing? This seems to be an exchange of the reader's contact info to the Haatetz db for a chance to read one item free. That's not a gift link. (WaPo knows the difference.) Maybe I'm not seeing the whole picture?

Oh, please. Should listeners turn off WKCR because Columbia houses the station? These are the Pulitzer Prizes, not the Columbia Prizes. Let the deserved honors be bestowed in peace. Winners will say plenty without being shoved.

My only bust ever was for chaining my bike to a Battery Park City tree trunk w/ one of those locks (coated to not hurt bark). The cop screwed up the paperwork so bad it never happened officially.

How could I forget to thank Joshua J. Friedman @joshuajfriedman.com for his faithful WKCR live skeeting? A terrific service that no doubt drew in many who'd have been unaware. Thank you for your prolonged effort!

As a 24/7 365 WKCR listener most of my life, I'm deeply grateful to the news team. I'm equally grateful to have regular programing back. Stay tuned, folks, and pls remember to donate to all-volunteer WKCR, a great station all the time.

WKCR's usual programming now would be blues—"Tuesday's Just as Bad." If they're taking a break from news, reversion to the norm would be welcome and appropriate.

Listening to WKCR doesn't require this annoying app. If you're in range the station is at 89.9 FM; else just use your browser: www.cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/ KCR has been the jazz/classical aural wallpaper of most of my life. Kinda surreal to hear it in this crucial new role.

I'm unwilling to go to war over the unmeasurable extent of Harrison's influence, but stand by my verdict in this instance of reportorial/editorial laziness.

Except I don't believe Harrison is on the CPB board now. Laura Gore Ross was elected chair in October 2022 (vice chair from October 2020-2022). Biden reappointed Ross to the board and the Senate confirmed her in February 2022. Just lazy reporting, I think.

NPR's reporting here is shockingly shallow—no evident attempt to discover what has changed at the foundation. David Corn/MJ did the job.

The award's founder, Dwight D. Opperman—a donor to, e g, the NYU law school—was on the same page as RBG. After he was widowed he married a woman who's now a djt supporter. Then he died. Thus Brendan I'm-No-Potted-Plant Sullivan chairs the awards committee.
