This article made me so sad and furious. The graphics, the writing, the family tensions, magic (moth), and Sisyphean struggle made me feel this family's grief as my own. A Grieving Mother. A Famous Uncle. An Unlikely Crusade. nytimes.com/2024/09/29/busin…

One of the great things about the WNYC centennial is the reëmergence of Sara Fishko. I miss her intelligent, funny, @FishkoFiles. They are pieces of art. Silence is my favorite, but I would binge every one of them.
