    In reply to Bill Keller: 'No Further Newsroom Staff Cut Planned or Foreseen' at the New York Times
    How's Keller's optimism going over with the NYT's recently departed? As expected, not so well. One emails:

    this is the same full-of-shit memo that he sent out after the last round of cuts, as i'm sure everyone is well aware.

    nowhere does keller mention the Guild arbitration that the paper lost on Monday - over the severance conditions of the last round of layoffs - a decision that the paper finally allowed to happen, after a year and a half of dicking around legally, because they couldn't begin this year's layoffs without having settled last year's first.

    i'm so happy to hear he was cheered and saddened by the speeches made by employees made to walk the plank. apparently the masthead was very very unwelcome at those farewell parties in the newsroom. how many glasses were raised for the laidoff, do you imagine?

    and by the way - how's jill abramson's puppy?! that's what everyone really wants to know!

    Dear Bill Keller,

    Please tell your publisher to stop selling the entire front page of your sister publication, The International Herald Tribute, to Rolex.

    Love,

    Bart

    "It did not 'disparage' or 'cast aspersions' on the series itself, which many of us at The Times admired as an example of the in-depth reporting the Journal used to do with some regularity."

    Conservatives just can’t write shit like this.

    For us geriatrics, Jane Gross' New Old Age Blog was a revelation. I also understand that it got millions of hits right out of the box. For that alone, she should be more than the "butt" of a bad joke, but her work deserves better.

    I don't normally like blogs like this, but Maira Kalman's blog is something that I'm adding to my list.

    I think one a month is enough. There is a lot there to digest.

    No joke: The F1 blog is my favorite NYT blog. It would be a shame if they pulled the plug.

    Pogue's videos are awesome, one of the best uses of video on a newspaper website.

    That said his "I am not a journalist" thing is total bullshit.

    If you ever want your heart to break, head over to the Times' migraine blog. It is called Migraine: Perspectives on a Headache. The comments section is consistently devastating.

    Also, remember when the Gawker tag "The New York Times is just a fancy blog" was like, a futuristic neg?
