    • 2016 November 13, Britt Peterson, “The Case Against Cats”, in The Atlantic‎[1], archived from the original on 17 November 2016:
      Proponents argue that TNR prevents rampant breeding, and is more humane than euthanasia. But TNR, according to Tucker as well as Marra and Santella, is not especially effective at accomplishing its primary stated goal of keeping cat populations in check.

    • 2025 July 24, Josh Marshall, “Why Is Jeff Bezos Rakestomping the Post?”, in Talking Points Memo‎[2], archived from the original on 31 July 2025:
      What’s happening at the Post now — I’m surprised more people haven’t drawn the comparison — is sort of comparable to the phantasmagoria of rake stomps which took place at The New Republic after Facebook billionaire Chris Hughes purchased it in 2012. There, too, there was a similar trajectory of first wanting to support and cultivate a historic media jewel, followed by getting cranky and fidgety, deciding he didn’t like losing money, bringing in billionaire-speaking tech consultants and executives, having everyone quit and continuing for a couple years of clown show inferno before Hughes sold TNR to someone else.
