The Washington Post has a great visual feature.

Cannot read it without a subscription, which I will not do. So I found this:

Trying to figure out some people is like trying to smell the number 9.

Thanks modelamac. I was looking for an article like that because I will not subscribe to the Washington Post either. That's a pretty good description of how they freed the Ever Given.

I don't have a Post subscription and had no problems seeing this piece. But it is early in the month, so possibly will use up the free views later and then will skip links to Post articles.

Is there a new rule or expectation that only free media can be recommended? The number of streaming service shows discussed on the forum is going to plummet if that's the case. My cartographer friends the the WaPo did a lot of hard work to tell a compelling story.

It's deeply personal to me that the world has changed to one that thinks mere content should be free, as creating content was how I expected to earn my living.

Someday Amazon Prime could include an online subscription to The Washington Post.

I have subscription to WaPo, NYT and Apple News +, and I will probably add more in the future.

I do wish the industry had settled on a micropayment model so that I could pay 30 cents to read one story in the Indianapolis Star or Arkansas Gazette without needing to create an account and pay for 30 days with autorenewal.

There should be a service where you could pay maybe $100 or $200 a year and pick 10 newspapers a year. I'd do that.

Yeah, but that picture would probably be considered obscene.

"I don’t want to see religious bigotry in any form. It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it." - Billy Graham 1981
