I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

Schumer: ball’s in your court
Republicans: stab the ball, tear it apart, set it on fire, rip up the court and sell the turf to Bahrain
Schumer: hey you guys are out of balls

It's been nice seeing people pine for the days of alt-weeklies, and note that some do exist (like the one that employs me). If you're feeling the urge to support local, independent journalism today--maybe you're in Utah, maybe you're not--here's one option: www.cityweekly.net/subscribe
How could one person come up with so many pronunciations
While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Anecdotal evidence from my (and others’) family Christmas gatherings is that there is a lot of interest in “Marty Supreme” and “Song Sung Blue.” I know I did my part to stoke those fires. Did you?
