@manton great last paragralh

@manton Good on you for canceling the NYT subscription. And a great quote from Fetterman. After all, who better than him to make a case about voting for people with perceived health issues?

@manton Good on you! Cancel WaPo as well - they are no better, even if they seem better.

@pratik I want to cancel, but my wife is addicted to their damn games. I need to see if I can get a standalone sub for that.

@amerpie There is. They’ve a separate app for puzzles. The company still gets the money but at least the point is conveyed.

@manton Which plugin made you get this comments under the post, @manton!? Thanks for help.

@manton That last paragraph 👌🏼

@stupendousman I really like having "a newspaper" to read, so I'd have to replace WaPo with something. Not really clear what's good and as comprehensive.

@suitbertmonz That's built-in to Micro.blog, with the Design → "Include conversation on post page" checkbox. In some cases if a theme has been customized, it might need tweaks, but should show replies from Micro.blog, Mastodon, and elsewhere by default.

@manton I’ve had the same frustration with nyt for a while. I have a cheap subscription from my days as a teacher so I keep it, but I don’t read it and I don’t have the app installed.

So far, for “general” news AP has been alright mostly. Good-ish global coverage. For more in depth stuff, I’ve been surprised by the WSJ. I have the app installed and I love their “10 points.” They are the closest I found to NYT but without the opinions shoved into anything. Wired is more tech related, but they have interesting “additional content” stuff as well.

@manton The main Reuters website is my daily go-to for a quick overview. I'm also an Apple One+ subscriber, so get the Apple News as part of that @stupendousman

@jtr Thanks, I forget about the WSJ sometimes.

@manton Do you like the physical newspaper or the digital version; I hate WaPo's app - and like @pratik said, much prefer Apple News. Apple News also draws select stories from WaPo so I dont miss it much.

@manton Mmmhh, does not show up here. So I am still missing something.

@manton @jtr Don’t forget that the WSJ is a News Corp/Murdoch paper.

@manton I did some "clean up" an set up a fresh template. Now it seems to work fine. Thanks you for your help!
