🔮 Sneak Peak Saturday for 2024-11-16
I’m highlighting Friday's overlooked stories amid the week's news frenzy and memes.
🙏 And a big thanks to all our sponsors! 🙏
(Scroll to the end…)
By Friday, everything seems to be reaching the peak of getting news turned in before a deadline or dread-line. It sometimes seems like we reach a fever pitch in news coverage throughout the week.
Peak 🏔️ vs. Peek 👀
Then there is a trope, cliché, or bromide about slow news days and the quietly mentioned news updates sent on a Friday — to try and sneak it past wider coverage. Or, in a nutshell, peak patronizing publishing.
In that spirit, here are a few stories that you might have missed on the slow news of a Friday.
