Awesome links as usual!

Thanks :)

I'm sure some of these are awesome, but I don't dare click on any of them without knowing which ones are from the New York Times or Washington Post. Because I don't pay for subscriptions there, I don't want to waste one of my 10 articles/month on something about millipede penises. Even *interesting* millipede penises. Would it be inconvenient for you to label your links with the source? (It's totally cool if it's too much trouble or you don't feel like it. I realize that you're not doing any of this for my convenience.)

The New York Times and the Washington Post both pay for custom bitly links - the Times starts theirs with nyti.ms and the Post with wapo.st. The milipede link - which actually isn't more interesting than the headline - is from the Associated Press, which also pays for a custom bitly link - apne.ws. So if you can see the URLs, that will actually help a lot.

(Additionally, the NYTimes will let you read past your article limit if you come to the article via google - so you can just google the headline and then read it from there - and the Washington Post will let you do it if you disable adblock, but I don't know how you feel about that.)

If checking the URLs isn't working for you, I can absolutely start adding that information in, but it might take some time for me to remember to do it regularly. New habits are hard, and right now my mind is 97% high school admissions, 3% my mother's health. Which sounds super lopsided, and it is, but by Thanksgiving I'll be able to focus on her health all the time!
