- Can't wait to see how the @nytimes.com normal-washes today's bit of emolument clause violating corruption
- The only rationale for shutting down public access to this invaluable historical archive is if you don't want people to learn about the past. I couldn't have written my last book without it.
- Some sad confirmation from @bcgl.bsky.social while I was at UW last week—the National Digital Newspaper Program—which builds Chronicling America—has been shut down Historical newspapers are probably the archival material most used by the general public—for genealogy, local history—it’s such a loss
- For this episode, we had an all-too-timely conversation with @victorpickard.bsky.social about the past, present & future of public media. More than ever, a fourth estate freed from oligarch coercion & ownership is essential if liberal democracy is to survive. newsliteracy.psu.edu/podcasts/def...
