I did not enjoy writing this; it can't even serve as an ad for my newsletter, which I've suspended due to an overbilling situation that has me almost regretting leaving Substack. But, you know, it's evidence for the piece I just didn't get to include. talkingpointsmemo.com/tpm-25/patro...

🚨 JOB OPPORTUNITY ALERT 🚨 HIRING: South Asia Managing Editor 📍Remote role – South Asia ⌛ Deadline: 3rd November 2025. 🔗 : https://loom.ly/tX7bMl0

A periodic reminder that while this is a free country, and you can pitch me however you like, the best avenue is my Globe and Mail email, [email protected]. That is because only my Globe email will have an out-of-office response if I'm not around.

1. If you want indie journalism, you gotta pay for it. 2. Paywalls work. I resisted using a paywall for a long time until I realized I had to if I wanted to pay my bills. 3. Journalism is a public good that doesn't exist without public support. Keep it out of billionaire hands with a paid sub.

Want to note here as well that while we have not paid OURSELVES, we have paid freelance writers and artists industry-standard rates, which is very important to us both as an organization, and as current/former freelancers who believe in independent media.
