Starting early next month, TPM will no longer publish full RSS feeds for the public. We'll replace them with partial feeds. So you'll still be able to keep up on what we're publishing. You'll just need click through to read the full post.Asshole move? Sure. What a fucking pig. The public be damned, right? S'matter, Josh, can't live in New York City on what you suck out of your little operation? Leech. Capitalist parasite.
Double asshole move, actually, considering that HALF OF THE MOTHERFUCKING ITEMS WE RECEIVE FROM TOILET PAPER MEMO IN ITS CURRENT RSS FEED ARE FUCKING PROMOS FROM DOUCHEBAG MARSHALL, ALL OF WHICH REQUIRE THE VIEWER TO CLICK THROUGH ANYWAY TO READ THE ITEM HE'S WHORING!! SO WHAT THE HELL?
This web log would not pay 30 fucking cents to subscribe to such an obvious rip-off. Christ on a damn crutch, most of the fucking items TPM runs are little more than two paragraphs & a link anyway. Oh, they do run AP stories once in a while. Can't find those anywhere else on the iNternet.
We'd be highly amused if Marshall & that other money-grubbing New Yorker, Andrew Sullivan, both were cutting off their noses to spite their faces & ended up bankrupt & on the streets. Eat shit, assholes.
File under: The bitter jealousy of someone who hasn't sold out for a mess of pottage. Which doesn't make either of the money-grubbing assholes mentioned any less in the asshole money-grubber dep't. Why don't the whore slobs just hit the streets & panhandle if money means so fucking much to them? And frankly, how long before their greed leads them to start cheating the rubes/mugging drunks? Not much longer, we'd guess. Neither one is getting any younger, & apparently neither one has enough money to satisfy his empty soul.
P.S.: Grub all the money in the world, boys; it won't bring your hair back.

I gave up on Talking Pants Memo long ago.

So if I understand your complaint, you find it problematic that you have to actually visit the site to read reporting that you hate, but you're perfectly happy to read stuff you hate in your RSS Reader.
Seems like a case of "Nobody goes there anymore - it's too crowded"...

Or perhaps M. B. keeps an eye on Totally Pants Memo for a similar reason as I do -- to keep an eye on what the insidery crap is going to be for the day, without having to read something even more distasteful, like Politico or The Hill.
Something that an RSS feed is great for, since I don't actually want to give them clicks for said crap.
Fuck 'em.
I didn't make the list? DAMN!
Breaking News Editor:
The reporting at TPM, such as it is, isn't that bad or good, but OBS has it exactly: Gotta keep up. And we'd never in a million zillion eternities contemplate having Politico or the Hill in the feed.
We were mostly amused/disgusted at Marshall stating this when half the items in the TPM RSS are him providing a link to a TPM item we've already seen anyway.
Also we attack anyone more successful (that's a lot) than we in a desperate (& sad) attempt at we don't even know what, since more clicking here won't increase our invisible income. Ego-fulfillment, probably. (Or ego-mania.)
No B., you, Thers, Tintin & Ed Roso are OK. (Can't think of any other Atlanteans at the moment, but ...)
It's pretty irritating to click again and again just to get to a fucking wire report.
