30+ year publishing vet who now just looks on at the newspaper & magazine business and shakes his head in sadness. Oh well, it was a good run.

Facebook is one of the most profitable companies on the planet, so I can't agree with your basic premise. The key is to turn the massive number of eyeballs into ad dollars. That is actually easy... as long as you don't alienate advertisers. Neither Jack nor Elmo apparently get that part.

5-4 ruling saves the last threads of the Voting Rights Act, for now. As usual, the far-right went too far, believing (because there was evidence they were right) that the SCOTUS would back them. That the ruling depends on Roberts and Kavanaugh shows how in danger our rights are.
Today's newspaper execs have no clue how to drive revenue, lurching from one model to another. If you want to drive advertising, you need ad execs who know how to do it.

@jeff Dogs are, for the most part, the best part of anything. Sad when they are abused or trained to attack. My 7 year old greyhound suffered an attack last week -- she's doing well, but the mohawked owner needs to just go away.

Mastodon remains not ready for primetime. Meanwhile, no invite from Bluesky so my social media time is dwindling.

Looks like Suzanne Scott is working hard to make sure someone other than herself is thrown under the bus for what Fox News was putting on air following the Nov. 22 election.
Virginia HeffernanGood for the Justice Department, and the DC jury, for convicting the Proud Boys.
But women online have been warning you about these twisted armed incels for years.
