That story became the most-read article on Vertical Slice by about 3k views, but it also goes to show that turning readers into paying subscribers is hard. But remember, if you don't back the work you value, it cannot exist. That's the simple equation independent media lives by.

"The media industry has reached a critical juncture," says Game Developer veteran Chris Kerr, who has just launched the subscription-funded publication Vertical Slice. Kerr says we need to "dispel the notion that journalism is a low-grade commodity to be consumed freely." https://bit.ly/4hWds51

It remains astonishing to me that James Dolan was able to stay out of the way *just* long enough for the Knicks to end a 53-year championship drought. Everything he's done from the second the team won seems like he's determined to remind you what a colossal asshole he is.

shauna@goldengateblond.bsky.social · last wk.

this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

The Knicks assistants were told they would receive championship rings eventually, but many longtime employees at Madison Square Garden, including some who work in the Knicks' business operations, will not receive rings at all, team sources told The Athletic. Typically, most employees for NBA teams receive rings, even if they are not as fancy and expensive as the ones the players receive. Those MSG employees got their hopes up at the end of September when the Knicks sent an email to a long list of employees, which gave recipients a first glimpse at their would-be championship rings. Atop the email, a copy of which The Athletic has obtained, was a graphic of two differently styled rings. "Congratulations, your Employee Championship Ring is here," the email read.

A lot of things have been written about Archer, mostly certain areas of the media blowing smoke up his arse. Here’s a different take from the Private Eye gang. https://youtu.be/4LmpIOJyiAI?is=pb1K4Ku4pe0Z8syK
