Some Words

A while ago I changed my email notification settings with the New York Times. One of the things I signed up for, after having dropped several of their digest notices of articles, was breaking news. Now, I expected this would be the really big stuff and I’d get one ever few days, tops. Instead I get them all the damn time, usually about celebrity deaths. Okay… well then, at least I heard it first? No. In yet another sign of the decay of the newspaper industry. I usually get the notice about 8-12 hours after I saw it everywhere else, including the NYTimes front page.
