So it’s been a year of About Last Week…columns today. Wow, what a long strange tr…shut up, Tom.
I’ll be posting a separate piece later today, but with this ALW I just wanted to say “Thanks!”
It’s still far from giant, but the total subscription base has more than doubled since the first ALW, as has the paid subscription roster.
The work on The Point is starting to appear in a number of high-profile places, most notably Real Clear Politics, Zero Hedge, Brownstone Institute, Issues and Insights, and, of course, the mainstay of the California Globe.
As for sister-site Checkmate -
- the progress has been a bit slower but I should have heeded the emailed warnings of “do you know hat you’re getting yourself into, workload-wise?” as they have turned out to be rather prescient.
A couple of other things – did you know I have a Twitter/X account? I barely do, so I would not expect y’all to but here it is if you wish to follow and, especially, re-tweet articles – I post everything there after it goes up on The Point: https://twitter.com/PointofBuckley
And I even have a Facebook thingy. I’m terrible at commenting, etc. but, again, I do post The Point work there as well. Here’s the link if you’re interested in joining my current 17 friends: https://www.facebook.com/thomas.buckley.9828
And, of course, LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-buckley-b6a1981b7/ . Is LinkedIn still a thing?
Oh here’s a little secret about ALW: each of the photos at the top contain somewhere in them the number of the issue. Hint: for today’s, look at the airplane.
If you could, please do circulate the articles however you wish – tweet, smoke signal, binary code, shouted from the lawn – they all work and would be appreciated, as would anyone wishing to move from free to a paid subscription.
Also, if you ever have a need to write about how stupid something I wrote is or about pretty much anything else, feel free to send it along to planbuckley@gmail.com and I’ll give it a look for posting on The Point (and if you are a free subscriber, posting a piece gets you comped for six months – yay!!)
So, again Thank You for supporting The Point and Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin:
