The Savannah Morning News building was one of the last great newspaper temples built in the autumn of the print age. Now the last evidence of the newspaper is being removed.

Congratulations to Chicago's Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson! In retrospect, it seems obvious that the candidate endorsed by Common & Wilco would prevail. https://www.brandonforchicago.com/endorsements

MLK's final sermon: 'I've Been to the Mountaintop' https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/040423_mlk_mountaintop/mlks-final-sermon-ive-been-mountaintop/
Monday, the nation remembers Martin Luther King Jr. Perhaps the greatest of his speeches, from a man renowned for his uplifting words, was one given extemporaneously on the last night of his life, April 3, 1968: "I've Been to the Mountaintop."

@mmasnick @ct_bergstrom @intelwire "Legacy" blue checks now have a description which says they might be paid subscribers, or not.

I have seriously considered whether there is any valid reason to listen to remarks from TFG after his arrest on Tuesday. And I can't think of one.

What I know:

1).If his lips are moving he's outright lying, exaggerating or distorting the truth.

2). He will have disparaging comments about Democrats, DA Bragg and George Soros.

3). He will describe the investigation as a witchhunt and politically motivated.

4). He will call for anarchy and violence.

Personally, I'd rather hear from the DA.

Appealing to confirmation bias and manufacturing outrage with deceptive posturing for profit, popularity or power while turning away from facts is a cynical and hypocritical strategy.

We just found out the Texas Observer is shutting down this week. Unfortunately, we found out via our friends at @texastribune.

It's been an absolute pleasure interacting with everyone in the Fediverse as the Texas Observer, and we'll miss you.
