Dear readers, Before we get into today’s very personal Friday edition, I wanted to remind you that we paywall our Friday editions. We fundamentally believe reliable news and great writing should be accessible — so we’ve made a habit of giving roughly 80% of our content away for free. But we are also primarily supported by Tangle members (who provide 90% of our revenue) to keep this project running. Members get very specific benefits: Access to Friday editions, our most original content Access to the comments section Ad-free newsletters  The full Sunday edition, including reader essays Access to our entire archive of exclusive content It costs just $59/year to become a newsletter member , or less than $5 per month. If you bundle that with our podcast membership, it’s $99/year, or about $8 per month . So, when you run into the paywall in today’s edition, please consider pushing through it with a membership . It unlocks a tremendous amount of value for you, and it keeps us 100% independent as a media organization!
