I feel bad but I’m not really familiar with any of Saltwire’s word games, recipes, or podcasts…you’d think the two-sided market of charging to place and see obituaries would be lucrative enough to “generate content” with such an aging and continually grieving demographic. Also, I know there isn’t money in journalism as-is, but what was the last big story they broke or even just deeply looked into? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I turned 24 in 2000, does that mean anything number nuts?
