A preview of a WordLand linkblog works, which is of course a WordPress site, viewed in my blogroll. When I clicked on the link, I was surprised that it goes to Poynter, and not to the linkblog. But then I remembered that's the point of a linkblog. And it flows through to the feed, and the blogroll software understands. So now I have an end-to-end linkblog. Now we also have to do some work to make the theme make sense of it when you view the site in WordPress.

This is a followup to the podcast of June 17 where I advised NYC voters to hold their noses and vote for Cuomo.

Well, they didn't. They voted their hearts, and I believe forgot the context.

What they're doing to LA is coming to every city in the US.

Who will stand up for NYC?

Not Mayor Adams, he's a Trump hostage.
