i chose to not be lazy and fundamentally changed how it rendered on emery/Time 2 devices, which then immediately and fatally broke how fonts rendered on Pebble Classic devices, in a way i forgot to test before i published a broken release.
i've fixed it now, but lesson learned...always be lazy...

Wasn't that long ago that this was the "liberal paper" in a city where the other option was an upstart suburban encroacher owned by Richard M Scaife. Now, the right wing owners would rather burn it to the ground than actually pay their employees, who beat them in court after a strike lasting years.
