That darn Mark Trail
This shall not stand [Mark Trail letter]
Shirin Ikram, Potomac
The April 20 "Mark Trail" made a pitch for replanting native trees in New York.
I would support implementing this idea in the D.C. area, which had a large number of native trees and plants when I first came here 40 years ago. They have since been increasingly replaced by bamboo.
Though the National Zoo might be interested in this abundance of bamboo for its panda guests, neither the birds nor the bees native to this area see any added benefit.
It is unfortunate that bamboo cannot be forbidden by executive orders!

Is Ann Telnaes making far more money now than she did at WaPo?
by Mike Rhode
(Corrected 5/9 with the notice that she still has a free tier)
I don't know, I haven't asked her. But while the Post continues to claim her, insofar as the Pulitzers are concerned (with full page ads run at least for 2 days), she may be far better off without them. Here's her initial newsletter about quitting the paper over a squashed cartoon, and there's plenty more coverage spread throughout this blog.
In her Substack newsletter about winning the award, she wrote, "Due to you all, my Substack Open Windows has reached 100,000 subscribers!!" I don't believe she has a free tier anymore, just She still has a free tier, but if everyone paid for a subscription at $80/year or $8/month she would gross perhaps $8,000,000 to a maximum of $9,600,000.
From Substack: 10% of each transaction
From Stripe: Credit cards
A credit card fee (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction fee) and a Billing fee for recurring subscriptions (0.7% for recurring payments as of July 2024).
From Stripe: Credit cards
A credit card fee (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction fee) and a Billing fee for recurring subscriptions (0.7% for recurring payments as of July 2024).
Their example shows the bite at about 20% on a $5 dollar payment.
If we use that back of the envelope, Ann might be netting $6,400,000 before taxes.* I find this stunningly hard to believe, but I hope it's true. A dish best served cold after all...
*I'm not an accountant or businessman so feel free to correct my thinking. 5/9: Thanks to Wim Lockefeer for pointing out she still has a free tier; my paid subscription version wouldn't show that to me.
