i'm seriously considering subscribing to a newspaper and go full-on dad-style in the morning eating breakfast and reading it. any rare chance i look through one, i find it to have news that's a lot more interesting and informative with better writing. there's also no annoying distractions to waste my time or videos that autoplay

i did this for the same reasons but also because i felt bad for the lady selling them from a card table in walgreens. i got two papers a week and i ended up never reading them and then they auto-renewed me and started calling asking for their twelve bucks. it was really sad

literally just canceled my subscription because i was never reading the paper

it is really good if you spend the time to actually read it though, better than these blog news sources

ars technica is really bad, the entire header including the logo scrolls down, then after some arbitrary amount of time it shrinks to just the menubar portion

if you really have to do that then just keep a little mouseover tab so it doesnt take up a whole ton of screen real estate, at least

the lovely thing is you can't just go there and get like the top 15 stories at a glance

cnn.com was still bad for that before

now it's like one huge image and other oversized graphics to push as many headlines as possible off my screen so i have to focus on that one story they're pushing really hard right now.

most local papers are 80% ap licensed contents anyway. smh at journalism these days.

wide stance: Jan 28, 2011; If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.

CNN is a joke, although the international version is probably better.

Commercials, talking heads.

And lol let me type in the zip code to my redneck strip mall enclave on twitter when there's poo poo going down outside the world of make believe.
