I suppose it’s interpretation. I did t read the headline as bragging or continuing with the same fight but rather a plea to get them to drop the case. Because he’s moved on. I feel like my explanation provides more context to that missing piece.

The headline is misleading. He’s saying they will lose and should just drop the lawsuit. He’s saying they can’t win against the state and that since their “skirmish” Disney hasn’t made a peep.

He’s bragging and still saying the same things. He raised the same points as before and has the same issues.

Edit: typo

I use Raindrop.io. https://raindrop.io

There are phone apps and browser plugins. I use the free version and set my home page and new tab page to the favorites folder.

I use multiple browsers for work plus an iPad and phone. This allows bookmarks anywhere. It’s great.

Edit: fix typo.

I do agree that more competition with enough subscribers is better. I wish more regional “papers” had been able to convert. I live in a large city with a terrible paper and would gladly pay for better local news and Journalism.

The trouble is it’s hard to subscribe to every paper. I like that you at least get a handful of free times articles.

Medium attempts to provide quality work paid directly to the writers and journalists but it’s hard for them to do big projects.

Several universities and business schools provide op-ed type pieces.

Looks like a login wall. While I get the “joke” or irony, Journalism has never been free. Servers, journalists, investigations, and apps still cost money. So did printing and delivery. There are countless sources of information online so you do not have to join The Times but for some the journalistic value is worth the price.

Wikipedia offers knowledge to the world for free and are maintained through donation (including myself) and philanthropy. It has its issues but provides free information.

I think we can a enjoy a variety of options. Paid journalism, ad based news, and “free” community supported. There likely are other models we can adopt.

Other free sources I use. Roca News app Gabe Fleisher’s Wake up to Politics Knowledge at Wharton

It might take a while to get S2 so I might have to just read the books instead. 😂

Interesting ending. All those silos. It’s not what I expected. Where are the old bodies? I’ve got more questions than ever now!! I might have to read the book.

Interesting read. Something to keep an eye on but hopefully isolated cases … scary how easy it could tip in the wrong direction though.

Eek. Been getting server errors. Sorry for duplicate posts. Hopefully this is because of all of newbies. 😀

Do upvoting or downvoting count or only actually posting/commenting?
