Last Thursday I activated Gutenberg and the Classic Editor on OnwardState.com. Since Friday just over half of the 33 posts published have gone through the Gutenberg editor. In that time I have started to gather some feedback about the editorial experience. Note that I did this without any documentation of the tool, I just switched it to be the default and waited to see what happened.
In the style of many digital editors who seem to spend most of their day trawling the shallow waters of Twitter, Nieman Lab editor Josh Benton has a prolific account that spans all matter of topics.
In a thread begun October 2016, Washington Post technology director Aram Zucker-Scharff tweeted about the shady advertising practices of EverQuote, a Boston-based startup. Since then these ads have become prolific on the web (and nearly as prolific are Aram’s tweets documenting the malfeasance).
Originally a 18′ by 36′ stone house (Wissahickon Schist), the structure wouldn’t have stood out from the other country homes in this part of Philadelphia, at the tip of the Manayunk Reach, situated at the end of today’s Manayunk Canal Towpath.
Cuban town Camilo Cienfuegos might be one of the least expected places to find remnants of America’s great 20th-century industrial expansion – that is, until you hear its pre-revolutionary name: Hershey.

Quick note after stopping at the Dilworth-adjacent La Colombe this morning. Prices on some drinks, cappuccinos for example, will be raised next Wednesday September 6. Exact prices weren’t ready yet, at least at the counter, but it sounds like iced coffee will be unaffected by this round of price increases (currently $3 for a draft coffee and $3.50 for a draft latte).
If 1,300 daily newspapers are replaced by 10,000 smaller local online news outlets, it will upend how products serving publishers are designed, priced and sold.
An oral history of how the pre-eminent media organization of the 20th century ended up on the scrap heap.
So cool. So efficient. Still don't trust Bezos but love logistics porn.
How do we prevent digital deterioration? I like this proposal from Dave for universities to play a major role. Librarians in particular seem well-suited to the challenge.
Oncologists are comfortable discussing and recommending medical marijuana, even though clinical research hasn't quite caught up.
The TODAY Show's Hoda Kotb (my favorite!) visited the Kelly house in East Falls to see its recent renovations with Prince Albert II.
