Substack is in danger of collapsing under its own weight. There are just too many worthy accounts here now to expect readers to cough up $5 for every writer they want to read. There needs to be some kind of subscription/revenue sharing mechanism so subscribers aren’t constantly asked for money for every damned article they’d like to read. Sell tokens. Punchcards.

The dream baffled me until recently. (I dream so much, I keep a dream journal …
Access journalism really took off under Reagan. I remember back then reading where a WH reporter admitted they just gave up trying to follow up on his movie confabulations and nonsense (like trees causing air pollution). Of course, the old standards came back for Bush I and especially for Clinton, then went away again under the idiot Bush. Came back for Obama. Now we have the mother of all gutless capitulations under Trump.
there does seem to be a cycle, in terms of how press treats D and R presidents
Assume you read "On Bended Knee."
