Things I Didn’t Know

Most Popular PSACOT Items

As this time of year, I like to point to the most popular items of all times, and of 20'24 in particular.

All Time

Groundhog Day The Movie Of course a lot of people are always interested in the greatest movie of all time.

Life is short, and we do not have too much time to gladden the hearts of those who travel the way with us (Although it was posted in 2018, scarcely a week goes by that someone doesn’t click on this prayer.)

Women in Journalism Movies I guess there just aren’t many pages on this subject, and that it is a frequent J-school assignment. Either that, or my cogent analysis has gone… well viral is a bit much, but still…

And Journalism movies.-

Humor: Four Musicians of the Apocalypse  At least once a month someone stumbles on this item. Yes, I do have the artist’s permission for the post.

How To Read The Obituaries by Roz Chast, another hardy perennial.

False Modesty “I went to school in Cambridge.” Particularly enjoyed the comments.
