Nice to be back at home after extended absences, but so much catching up to do. That's why I haven't promoted the latest Eat This Newsletter until now, but here it is for your entertainment.

Worker oppression, ancient potatoes, cooking without gas, misleading labels, pomegranates, and fake honey

If you're truly principled about rejecting #racism, #fascism, #extremism (or at least not monetizing it), it sure seems weird to still be using #Substack when there's so many guides on how to get off it.

“Yet as Google does the Googling, humans no longer visit the websites from which the information is gleaned.” “News publishers are planning for “Google zero”, using newsletters and apps to reach customers who no longer come to them via search, and moving their content behind paywalls or to live events.”

Dark Sky is gone. NOAA continues to be cut. And yet, one guy rebuilt a weather API used by 40K+ devs & 80M+ requests/month — in his spare time.

This is a story about resilience, infrastructure, and kindness as punk rock.

The Indie API Forecasting Your Future

Interesting to see two major news outlets — The Verge and Wired — both announce major newsletter strategies nearly simultaneously. I suspect both are motivated by the hope that email will be "stickier" than the (declining) direct traffic to news websites.

"The Verge Launches New Site Features Aimed at Deepening Audience Engagement and Announces New Editorial Newsletters": https://www.theverge.com/press-room/710921/verge-site-features-launch-newsletters

"A New Era for WIRED—That Starts With You": https://www.wired.com/story/a-new-era-for-wired-that-starts-with-you/

The Verge cites the desire to "deepen[] its direct relationship with readers". Wired writes "The platforms on which outlets like WIRED used to connect with readers, listeners, and viewers are failing in real time", saying they wish to "connect our humans to all of you humans".

> "Write urgently. Publish quickly."

> "The same goes for the ideas, the words you’ll write down. Write them down when they’re on the top of your mind, while you’re still excited to get them out. For ideas have a half-life of their own. Wait and they’ll go stale, and you’ll second-guess if they’re worth publishing."

Always one of the best weekly curated reads out there. Read with a cup of coffee in the morning for an added jolt. #newsletters #goodreads #links https://social.seattle.wa.us/@mako/114885660885210011

Such a relief to start a new writing project and, during the initial due diligence, the subject proves themselves to NOT be a milkshake duck.

What music blogs and newsletters are you reading at the moment? Or perhaps *you* have a newsletter that shares news from your music community?

Share it with us and we'll repost as many as we can!

Number one question: In the 17th century, did the Dutch really brush their teeth with butter?

All that and the cheese babysitter, a surprisingly unsurprising agricultural transition, amaranth, giant supermarkets as "democratic" institutions, and a victory for English rivers.
