Wow. No offense intended to anyone, but this new format is, um, questionable from my perspective.
I’ve been around for a while. I don’t write much anymore, and, as a rule, stay out of the endemic pissing matches: I consult dkos as I consult a number of sites, to get news and analysis from folks whom, over the years, I’ve come to trust a bit. Then I “triangulate”, if you will, to determine what I really think is going on.
I don’t come for entertainment, although, happily, I am occasionally entertained. I want my news and I want it now, and I don’t particularly want to have to look hard for it: give me lists and, please, keep your personal aesthetics out of it to the degree possible. This new stuff is all over the place and, frankly, it feels like work. Some of this, admittedly, is my elderly resistance to change, but, as someone else suggested, it’s HuffPo all over again (albeit, presumably, more credible) and I ditched those turkeys more than a decade ago.
Yeah, I’ll be around now and then, but it won’t be for pleasure.
