This is the end for you guys. Firing someone for allowing different opinions in your paper means you are no longer a real news paper. It’s been fun. You had a good run. The best in fact. R.I.P. https://t.co/yAcXpXKyFL

Emptied Manhattan has now merely become Brooklyn's stage

By artappraiser on Sat, 06/06/2020 - 6:40pm |

It was peaceful and powerful and everyone wore masks (except the police, who just smirked their terrible smirks). pic.twitter.com/wzte7NzklE

Strange glitch with Dagblog software just happened

By artappraiser on Wed, 06/03/2020 - 6:58pm |

a comment (a tweet quote) which I tried to post twice on my news thread about deflation numbers here, turns up twice in the running "Recent Comments," but does not appear on the news thread itself. Those entries on "Recent Comments" do take you back to the thread, but the comments themselves do not appear. Just noting the problem in case it happens to someone else.

A sick and broken health care system during a pandemic

Which states most reflect the U.S. as a whole and which are the most atypical?

By artappraiser on Thu, 05/28/2020 - 9:17pm |

What states most closely resemble the US as a whole?

Here's a list from an algorithm that accounts for race, religion, density, geography, income, education, age, gender and presidential voting.

1. Pennsylvania
2. Virginia
3. Illinois
4. Michigan
5. Florida
6. Ohio
