Did you know there are actually 2 journalists named Alexandra Petri? The humor one at the WaPo, however, is def the best. She’s excellent and her humor is totally right up my alley as well.

And when summing up the best at WaPo, don’t leave off Philip Bump! His weekly β€œHow To Read This Chart” newsletter is great for any data nerd (raises hand!). And his normal stuff is great too.

Happy Sunday!

I did not know that, but the WaPo variant is a true gem.

Oh, a lot of their normal journalists are great, I mostly avoid the opinion writers. (TBH, same with the NY Times)

I like David Drehle and miss Michael Gerson. It was sad he passed away so young. Leana Wen is great, too. A godsend during Covid.

I’ve become so oblivious to Thiessen and Hewitt that I don’t even know whether they’re still there.
