🔮 Sneak Peak Saturday for 2024-11-23

This week, I'm highlighting under-the-radar stories that often slip through Friday's news crack.

🙏 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.
